Magic for the entire family

Is this the children's magic show that adults love, or the adult magic show that children love?

Your guests won't worry about the answer. They'll be too busy howling with laughter and and picking their jaws off the floor. 

And you'll be too busy getting credit for throwing the best party of the year.

What makes my shows different?

Every piece of magic is simple enough for young children to follow, but engaging and incredible enough to amaze the adults.

The magic is original, which means it's not stuff anyone has seen before (unless they've been to one of my shows!). 

And it's funny from start to finish. Like, really funny. My shows are so funny, the audience might not stop laughing long enough to catch its breath. Which makes sense—I'm a national award-winning comedy writer.

Don't take my word for it.

I'm #1 on Yelp and the go-to magician for Chicago TV shows.

As the author of Excellence In Family Magic, an acclaimed book for magicians, I've become a leader in my field and am regularly a featured speaker at magicians' conferences.

Don't wait. Get started now.

(he's at least half wrong)

Every audience is different.

Magic that wins over snarky junior high kids flies over the heads of pre-schoolers. What works in a 1000-seat theater may not play in a living room. Don't settle for a performer with a one-size-fits-all approach.

Your show is AUTOMATICALLY customized.

As part of the booking process, you'll tell me all about your event. That way I come armed with magic that does more than deceive. You and your guests will be charmed, tickled and amazed by a one-of-a-kind show worlds beyond anything you've seen before.

Don't forget the grown-ups. 

Your adult guests will have a great time, too. That's because I specialize in Family Magic, a discipline that entertains all ages—not just the children. I even wrote the definitive book on the subject, Excellence in Family Magic.

BIRTHDAYS HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER.

If your event is a birthday party, your child stars in the show, actually performing magic (maybe even floating in midair!) and reveling in the applause and cheers of friends and family. During the show I keep a close eye on the birthday child to make sure he or she is having the best time ever.

Special requests? No problem.

Get in touch. I want to hear what you've got in mind. I bet I can set you up with something perfect. I also offer themed Halloween and winter holiday shows; magical school assemblies; and magic for adult groups.

Scott Green (hey, that’s me!) is a professional magician based in Chicago. I perform hundreds of shows a year.

A leader in my field, I'm the author of a groundbreaking book of theory and practice, Excellence in Family Magic, that's even in the personal libraries of David Copperfield, Lance Burton, and Penn & Teller.

I'm also a featured lecturer at magicians' conferences and the creator of a number of popular magic tricks for which I've sold performance rights around the world. (You'll see many of these tricks when you bring me to your event.)

I performed my first show at age 14. In 2009 I earned my law degree and passed the Bar, but decided instead to become a full-time magician. (My parents have forgiven me.)

While in college, I was named one of the 100 best young writers in America for my humor column, which was syndicated to outlets including the Washington Post. 

My wife and I live in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood with our two young children, who love watching Daddy's shows. An avid game show fan, I've been a contestant on both "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" and "The Price Is Right."
