For Corporate Event Planners
Entertainment is the one line on the run-of-show nobody notices when it is merely fine and everybody remembers when it is right. Book the wrong act and three hundred people sit through a flat half hour and move on. Book the right one and the room shares a moment it carries back to the office.
Josh Weidner is a corporate event magician who builds the set around the audience in front of him. Close-up sleight of hand moves table to table through the cocktail hour, and a fast, clean comedy magic show takes the stage after dinner. Every piece is scripted around the company, so the guests who step forward come off sharp, and the night feels built for your team instead of dropped in from a template.

How Josh works with corporate event planners. Every option is built on participation, so your guests are not just watching a show. They are in it.
Close-up magic worked table to table through the reception, with the miracle happening in your guest's own hands. It is the fastest way to warm a room where half the guests are clients and half are staff, and it draws the same crowd to a trade-show booth.

Learn More →Strolling magic as the room fills, then the stage show once everyone sits. It is the format for the biggest nights, large galas, multi-hour conferences, and product launches, and the one most companies come back for.

"We had Josh perform at our office/lab grand opening and he killed it. He captivated the crowd, had them involved and laughing and entertained well beyond my hopes."
The Range
From the cocktail hour to the closing keynote, Josh covers the full range of corporate occasions. Holiday parties and year-end celebrations are the busiest stretch, closed out by the comedy show. Sales kickoffs and national meetings use the stage show to restart a room worn down by agenda. Awards banquets and recognition dinners take the strolling-plus-show combination so the energy holds from arrival through the trophies. Client- and customer-appreciation nights lean on close-up magic to put reps and accounts into the same conversation. Conferences, leadership retreats, and executive events use a stage set or a mentalism piece to break a dense schedule, and trade-show booths use close-up to pull foot traffic. Product launches, grand openings, and company milestones round it out. The format shifts to fit the room; the standard does not.
The Audience
The teams that book corporate magic cut across the economy. Finance and insurance bring Josh in for sales conferences and client dinners. Healthcare and pharma book the stage show for launches and grand openings. Manufacturing and professional-services firms run the combination at annual meetings and customer nights. Technology and software teams use close-up to warm a user conference or a partner reception. The audience changes from one to the next; the architecture of the show adapts to it.
The Investment
Corporate entertainment is the one element of the evening that cannot be redone. A sound system fails and gets swapped. A caterer runs late and still recovers. A flat act in front of the whole company simply happens, and then the night is over. The fee on a working corporate magician is not the price of tricks. It is the price of the centerpiece landing.
Most full-time corporate magicians sit between $2,500 and $5,000, because the work behind the show costs money to keep up: liability insurance, gear, material scripted for the company, and timing rehearsed to the run-of-show. A quote far below that usually means a part-timer, or a number that climbs once the contract appears.
Josh trained the slow way, including years as a member of the Academy of Magical Arts at Hollywood's Magic Castle, and has spent close to two decades in front of corporate rooms. That is what keeps a show on time, on tone, and on message for the company that hired him.
Is This The Right Page?
Working magicians fall into two camps. One does private events: birthdays, house parties, and family celebrations. The other works corporate rooms: company parties, conferences, sales meetings, and awards nights. Josh is the second kind. The pacing, the material, the gear, and the pricing are built for a professional audience, and a performer trained for the first camp does not automatically cross into the second. If you are planning a private family party, this is not the page. If you are booking entertainment for a corporate event, you are in the right place.
