At receptions and cocktail hours, his corporate walk-around magic mingles table to table, sparking amazement and conversation up close. It's why industry leaders like IBM and DBI keep booking him.
Meet Frank
Frank brings over 40 years in the IT industry — a rare combination that lets him speak your industry's language and tailor his magic to your technology and message in ways most performers simply can't.
He started with close-up magic in local restaurants before taking his act to trade show floors and corporate stages nationwide. Today he helps exhibitors stop foot traffic, spark conversation, and keep their booth top of mind long after the show ends.

Deliver Your Message
A signed dollar bill vanishes from a booth visitor's hand and reappears inside a sealed box of your product across the trade show floor. A prospect names any number — it's already printed on the back of your branded business card. You won't believe it until you see it — and neither will your prospects. Every trick is built around your product, your logo, and your message, so the magic feels like it belongs to your booth alone.
The result: a trade show booth people keep talking about long after the show floor closes — and remember your brand for it.
Las Vegas
If your event is in Las Vegas, Frank already knows the room. He's performed repeatedly at the Las Vegas Convention Center, The Venetian, and Mandalay Bay — home to three of the ten largest convention centers in the country and dozens of hotel meeting spaces — so he can walk in ready to engage your prospects from the first minute.
Pairing magic with your marketing message is a proven booth strategy in Las Vegas, where magic shows and playing cards are part of the local culture. Frank brings ideas for theming your booth to generate more leads and drive more traffic to your space.
