Interactive comedy magic for St Louis events

When you are planning a corporate event, gala, or fundraiser in St Louis, the entertainment you choose sets the tone for the entire night. Josh Weidner is a St Louis magician, based right here in the metro, who builds an interactive comedy magic show around your guests, so the people in the room are not just watching a performance. They become the stars of it.

St Louis is a corporate town with deep roots, and its audiences have seen the standard hotel-ballroom entertainment before. Josh's magic works differently because it is built on participation. Guests are pulled into the moment, they laugh, they react, and they walk away with a story they retell at the office on Monday morning.

What kind of events does Josh perform at in St Louis?

From downtown ballrooms and Clayton hotels to corporate offices in Creve Coeur and the Cortex district, event spaces at Union Station, and galas across the metro and the Metro East, St Louis hosts every kind of corporate gathering. Josh is a natural fit for holiday parties, company milestones, conference receptions, client-appreciation nights, and nonprofit fundraisers, and he tailors the format and the material to fit your audience and your room.

Why St Louis companies book a local interactive magician

An interactive show does something a band or a DJ cannot: it makes your guests the center of the entertainment. And because Josh is local, there are no travel fees and it is easy to connect before the event. For a St Louis crowd that has seen the usual event fare, that participation is what turns a nice evening into the one people bring up for weeks. Josh reads the room, keeps every moment clean and corporate-appropriate, and sends people back to their tables with a story to tell.

You can bring Josh in for strolling close-up magic during a cocktail hour, a stand-up comedy magic show as your headline entertainment, or both for a full evening of interaction. Every option is clean, corporate-appropriate, and customized around your company, so it feels built for your team rather than dropped in from a template.

Frequently asked questions

Do you perform in St. Louis?+
Yes — St Louis is home. Josh is based in the metro and performs corporate events, galas, holiday parties, and fundraisers across the region, from downtown and Clayton to St Charles and the Metro East. Because he is local, there are no travel fees, and it is easy to meet before your event. He also tours nationwide, but St Louis is where it all started.
How much does it cost to hire a corporate magician?+
Most corporate magic bookings run $2,500 to $5,000 depending on event format, audience size, and travel. Local events are at the lower end. Out-of-region events with travel and lodging are at the upper end. Most of Josh's corporate bookings land in the $2,500 to $4,000 range.
What format of magic show works best for corporate events?+
The three options are strolling magic during cocktail hour, a stage show after dinner, or both. Strolling magic breaks the ice when guests don't know each other yet. The stage show is the high-impact closer the team retells back at the office. Most clients book both.
Can the show be customized for our company?+
Yes. Josh regularly works company names, team members, product references, and internal jokes into the show so it feels built for your audience instead of dropped in from a template. The more you tell him about the event in the planning call, the more of that customization makes it into the performance.
What setup or AV do you need?+
Depends on the format. Strolling magic needs nothing but space and an open bar. The stage show needs a stage at minimum 12 feet wide by 6 feet deep, a wireless headset mic, a handheld mic on a stand for volunteers, a 3.5mm input, and a professional sound system. Setup takes about 60 minutes before doors. Josh sends a full tech rider after booking.
Do you travel?+
Yes. Josh is based in St Louis but performs corporate events across the country. Travel and lodging are added to the booking fee. For events outside driving distance, the price typically lands in the $4,000 to $5,000 range to cover flights and accommodations.
