Since 1980, (actually 1981, but "1980" rounds out better) - when I wanted a name that described my concept of a way to communicate with people through the tool of magic, I decided on "Motivational Magic". I thought the alliteration sounded good, and "motivational" implied an important function of much of my work. As it turns out, I'm never sure what people think the name means, but I registered it (d.b.a.) in Wayne County, New York and printed up letterhead and stuff, so I'm stuck with it. Impressed already, aren't you?

 General Entertainment  - A time-honored main course of stand-up comedy-magic tailored for your group and customized to fit your theme.  Adaptable to small                and large groups; fees will be determined by travel distance, time of day or night, and degree of customizing necessary.  Over 22 years of experience adds up to a professional job that will complement your skills as a coordinator - and earn high marks from your group.

Stress Reduction Seminar - A hilarious “hands-on” blending of visual and verbal humor and comedy props that brings up the laughter level for such high-stress groups as hospital staffs, rehab counselors, law-enforcement professionals.  Designed to recharge batteries and rejuvenate the overall mental state, this program challenges participants to reclaim responsibility for their own day-to-day happiness in a fun, non-threatening way.  Ideal for smaller groups (12 to 48, +) and perfect as a reward following major corporate projects. See Seniors.

Motivational/Educational - Drug Awareness programs for elementary schools, PTAs and other special interest groups. Goal setting, self-esteem, Red Ribbon week and other kick-off or wrap-up assemblies. Programs that work like magic . . . because kids like magic! See Schools.

Master of Ceremonies  - The best emcees know that they are not the stars of the show. When you want to keep it moving light-heartedly and professionally, give us a call.  We’ll stay alert to opportunities to shine the real spotlight on your group and its objectives.  Don’t underestimate the importance of your emcee.  Along with the fun, be sure you plan for diplomacy and respect. 

Business Applications – Product promotions, kick-offs, sales seminars, trade shows, training sessions.  We’ll work with you to capture attention for your own products or help your sales staff learn simple “tricks of the trade” that will put them on a whole different level from the competition. 
For the trade show, learn how to get complete strangers to repeat your company name or slogan three times in a row – laughing all the way!  Will your competition be doing that? 

Other Services:

 “Official” Town Crier –

With authentic  period costume and official status in two  municipalities – we’ll create a festive mood for almost any public gathering.  Armed  with scrolled “proclamations” scripted to your needs, we’ll ring the bell and draw the crowd, and even interject some humorous “commercials” designed for the event.  Add color, pageantry and a “renaissance attitude” to any public or private affair, and make it memorable!
