Card Magic
Multi-city
Hi. My name is Rob Mendell. I've been performing interactive close-up Card Magic since 1973.
I thoroughly enjoy my job, and my audiences love this friendly, professional, and entertaining magic. I have over 700 reviews on Google and Yelp; they are all five stars.
I work at all kinds of gatherings and celebrations, including corporate events, trade shows, and a wide variety of private parties. I've been a Licensed Street Performer in Chicago since 2005. I'm a member of the Society of American Magicians and the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
At events with up to about 20 people, I perform one show for everyone together. At larger events, I stroll, creating a series of small, intimate performances.
I am happy to customize one of my signature effects; we can discuss this on a phone call.
I look forward to speaking with you about how I can bring fun and wonder to your (clients') events.
