Adam Elbaum

Adam Elbaum has performed close-up magic for over 30 years, refining his craft at venues like The Magic Castle in Hollywood, the Chicago Magic Lounge, and the Four Seasons. His client list runs the gamut from intimate private dinners to large-scale corporate events, and he brings the same level of precision and showmanship to every performance.

Adam specializes in close-up magic and mentalism performed right in the hands of your guests. During a cocktail hour, he moves through the room creating small moments of genuine surprise for groups of four or five at a time. For a more focused experience, he can deliver a seated close-up show around a dining table or a parlor-style performance for groups up to 50. His style is warm and conversational, with a sophisticated edge that plays equally well at a black-tie gala, a corporate retreat, or a backyard celebration.

He is a natural fit for private parties, weddings, fundraisers, corporate conferences, trade shows, product launches, and networking events. His ability to customize material for brand messaging makes him especially effective at corporate activations and sales meetings where you want entertainment that ties back to your company’s story.

Based in Philadelphia, Adam is available for events throughout the mid-Atlantic region, including Baltimore, New York, and the surrounding areas. He is comfortable with audiences ranging from an intimate group of 10 to gatherings of 100, and his relaxed, engaging presence puts guests of all ages at ease from the very first trick.
