We found Arthur somewhat last minute and we were so delighted! He performed a walk-around, close-up show at our corporate holiday party and did not disappoint. His magic was spectacular and his personality a perfect balance of charisma and professionalism. I could not recommend Arthur enough. He was there early preparing and even did one extra trick on the way out for one of our guests. Just fabulous!

Arthur Trace performed at our company's holiday party. He was simply fantastic. His magic is an art to be enjoyed. He had our employees mesmerized and laughing at the same time. He did things in front of our eyes that did not seem possible. He has a great personality and really knows how to work the room. I can highly recommend Arthur Trace. He is the "real-deal"!

We wanted to hire a magician for our clients event. After doing my research on the internet, I found Arthur's website. He contacted us pretty fast and make us an offer.
I wanted to see him perform live before hiring him so he kindly invited us to see him performing at the very well known Magic Castle in LA. We were amazed by his tricks and it was clear that we wanted him to perform during our event.
Arthur was amazing! He did some very impressive strolling magic for our clients and ourselves, we were all amazed by his ability. Not to mention he his a wonderful human being too. He is funny, friendly

Arthur entertained at my 31st birthday and was so delightful! It was a small group (10+) at a low key outdoor venue, so he did close-up magic for us. We were completely wowed - I sat right next to him and still have no clue how he did any of his tricks!! He was also super engaging with my guests and very charismatic, funny, and exciting to watch. Wish we could have kept him longer than an hour! I would love to see him perform again.

Arthur is a fantastic magician! He is very professional and easy to reach from the start. He visited our venue prior to the event to make sure he connected with the event staff and got an understanding of the environment. He arrived well before start time to get everything fully prepared for his show. You can tell that he puts a great deal of time and effort into his work to make sure it is excellent and well-prepared.
Arthur performed such a great show (and strolling magic) that was witty, fun, and interactive. Our audience loved it! We would highly recommend hiring Arthur for any of your magic

Arthur is absolutely fantastic and his slight of hand is beyond comprehension. He performs his magic up close and includes the spectators in his magic act. He works the room well, is down to earth and a super friendly guy. You won't be sorry to hire him and will be amazed at his "magic". He is a wonderful added attraction to your parties and events. Well worth it.

Turned 60 last week and had a blow out party at the Deck in Laguna Beach. In addition to tons of good food and strong drinks, needed a little entertainment. Couldn't have made a better choice than Arthur Trace. He spent 2 hours walking around from table to table doing amazing slight of hand tricks. Thoroughly entertaining and professional. I would recommend him for any event.

Arthur Trace is the ultimate entertainer! Highly professional, just as personable, and what a show! I hired Arthur to perfom both strolling magic and a 30 minute performance show for my husband's birthday party. We and ALL of our guests LOVED both performances. We'd hire him again in a hot minute. Arthur strikes exactly the right balance of performer, personable person, and professional. Not always easy to pull off and he personifies each to a "T". You can't go wrong hiring him for your event!

We celebrated my husband's 40th birthday party last Thursday at Casa Bar in Costa Mesa. We asked Arthur to do a Stroll Through Magic Act for our guests. He did a magnificent job of entertaining, amazing and making the night memorable for all our guests. Some guests took home a memento from a few of the tricks. The night was just so fun and memorable with Arthur's performance. He managed to get to every guest that night. We hope to experience the Magic of Arthur Trace again!

I highly recommend Arthur Trace! I have planned many events and Arthur is one of the most professional and courteous people I have worked with. He is very easy going and does all that he can to make you feel at ease. He also takes the time to learn about what type of event you are holding and get a feel of the type of people who will be attending. He absolutely knows what he is doing. Arthur is always accessible; anytime I had a question he responded to me very promptly. Arthur's performance was out of this world. He is very skilled magician. Everyone at our event, which included some very important

We hired Arthur as "entertainment" for our corporate holiday party. He was a surprise and did a great job just blending in with the crowd. He worked the group in small clusters and really brought a fun, unexpected performance for our team to enjoy. People were so amazed that the word of his being there spread almost instantaneously and some of the group totally sought him out in the crowd. Everyone was so thrilled with his being there and can't stop talking about how great he was. I would recommend him to anyone - corporate event or personal parties as well.

I hired Arthur to perform for my husband's 40th birthday party. Our guests were amazed by his talents, as were we. My husband thought it was the best birthday gift ever. We first saw Arthur at the Magic Castle and were impressed there, but seeing him up close and personal was even more jaw-dropping. We have a couple friends who consider themselves big magic buffs and they also commented on how particularly talented Arthur was. And even with all this talent, he is a consummate professional and friendly to boot. He even worked with less than ideal conditions (we had a very high turnout for our party

I fell in love with magic when I was 11 years old. I have admired many magicians in my lifetime, at the top of my list of favorites is Arthur Trace!! Arthur's performance is flawless!! His stage presence makes you feel like he is performing just for you, that is magic in itself.
You should get on his mailing list so you can see him perform live. Get ready to be blown away!!

I just have to say that I have seen many a magic show and Arthur is the real deal. I have had the fortunate experience to see him perform twice. First at my home for party, Arthur strolled and mingled with the crowd very much blending in as one of the guests. Everyone was amazed and enchanted. We received many positive comments throughout the night. We also were able to see him perform at the Magic Castle here in Los Angeles. Once again he did not disappoint.
I can't say enough that is you are looking for quality entertainment for an event do not hesitate to have Arthur attend. You won't be disappointed

Arthur is great! We hired him for a party, and he added that extra element that made the evening outstanding. All night I kept overhearing conversations about how awesome he was. He will certainly amaze his audience with his talent, but he also has a very keen sense of what a party needs, and can adapt accordingly. He has a great style--professional, funny, charming, and a genuinely nice guy. If we hadn't hired him to do roaming magic with our guests, he would have made a great guest himself. You will not be disappointed in his services--he is well worth what he charges. He is superbly

We hired Arthur for a party we recently had. He was hands down, the best part!
Our friends are still talking about him. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he is also charming and professional. He arrived early to warm up and we ended up splurging on another hour because we weren't ready to let him go. He was attentive to my husband, whom the party was for, and still managed to include all the guests. I can't imagine having found a better person for the job!
Thank you so much Arthur Trace!

I hired Arthur to perform at my husband's 40th surprise birthday party and he was nothing short of AMAZING!
I spoke to a bunch of magicians and not having seen him perform before I wasn't sure which direction to go. I watched some shows that where posted on line and I was highly impressed. He really stood out and was very unique in his performance.
My husbands birthday party was in a private room at a restaurant and he was kind enough to look at the space before hand to ensure he was going to put on a show that fit the space. Upon arriving at the restaurant there where a few surprises

I work for an LA based non-profit, P.S. ARTS and we hired Arthur to perform roaming magic for our guests at the LA Modernism Opening Night party. He was incredible and we heard nothing but positive feedback from everyone. Our guests loved his entertainment and I definitely think he added an interesting element to our show.

Arthur's Magic is mesmerizing! I hosted an intimate, upscale, birthday party for my wife and Arthur was the headline attraction for the event. He began the evening engaging the crowd with his strolling magic routine. He seamlessly worked his way through the room giving everyone a chance to see his jaw dropping magic up close and personal. To end the evening, Arthur performed a small stage show which blew the crowd away.
Arthur has a fantastic sense of humor and displays it so well during his performance. Not only were the guests enjoying the magic they were laughing as well.

I was looking for something special for my son's 12th birthday. Arthur came highly recommended from a friend at the Magic Castle and he managed to surpass our very high expectations. Arthur's magic is highly sophisticated, unique and first rate. He was able to impress and entertain everyone, from the jaded pre teens to the most discriminating adult. Arthur also has a wonderful sense of humor and great personality and his show is infused with a great sense of fun. He was also very professional and easy to work with in booking. A truly magical act.

Our company had Arthur out for one of our annual corporate events and he was fabulous. Magicians in Los Angeles are plentiful, and I have seen a lot of them, but Arthur's show is uniquely his. The highlight of the evening was his strolling magic-real up close and personal.
I'm always on the hunt for good entertainment and am delighted to have come across this gem in Los Angeles. I highly recommend Arthur Trace for your next event!
