WALK-AROUND CLOSE-UP COMEDY MAGIC

Dressed in tuxedo or "theme" costume, Brad performs mind boggling comedy magic inches away from the eyes of your guests while strolling from table to table or group to group during social hour, special event, private party, trade show booth, or at a "hospitality suite." Brad performs sleight-of-hand with various objects, such as cards, coins and currency, and borrowed (and returned!) articles from various audience members. In today's "high tech" world, most people have only experienced a magician on television or YouTube! A live in person interaction with a magician is a unique "high touch," immersive, memorable experience. This performance option is perfect as an ice-breaker, conversation starter or as a prelude to the banquet show described above. There are no "technical requirements" or set-up time involved. However, to get the most value for your dollar, Brad requests that you do not have him perform while there is loud music playing. Brad can reach approximately 50-75 people per hour of performing time. *Walkaround magic fees are 1/2 price when booking the "Banquet Show" described above.
 

Thanks for making our hospitality suite the "hit" of the convention. Your contributions were outstanding...I have had many compliments on the professional manner in which you presented your magic and your interaction with our customers. GLENN B. CRANE, STROMBERG-CARLSON

The adults will enjoy the show as much as the kids. However, the Children's Comedy Magic of Brad Zinn is not recommended for children under five years of age.
 

Brad and his wife, Kuddles the Klown, entertained at my graddaughter's 7th birthday party yesterday. The kids loved them both. The children were just the right age for magic - they want to believe, yet they are a little skeptical. More than once, I heard one exclaim "How did he do that!?" By enlisting several of the kids to act as assistants. he made the experience memorable for everyone watching. The act was appreciated by the adults, too, with many laugh out loud jokes.
