Hosting a truly great house party or private celebration means making sure your guests are engaged from the moment they walk through the door. Amanda specializes in upscale parlor magic, mind-reading, and sophisticated close-up illusions that happen right in your guests' hands—creating an intimate, high-energy atmosphere without requiring a massive stage setup.
Milestone Birthdays & Anniversaries: Give your guests a unique, shared experience that honors the celebration.
Upscale Dinner Parties & Soirées: Sophisticated entertainment that blends seamlessly with cocktails and fine dining.
Holiday & Cocktail Parties: The ultimate icebreaker to get different social circles laughing, talking, and connecting instantly.
I’m Amanda, an internationally recognized magician whose work has been featured in leading magazines across the globe and in viral videos seen by millions. I’ve appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us and on every major news station in St. Louis, earning a reputation for artistry and elegance in performance.
With a unique background in psychology and communication, I design experiences that are more than just tricks — they are interactive, elegant, and unforgettable. Guests don’t just watch the magic; they become part of it.
Beyond the stage, I believe in creating impact that lasts. A portion of my performances directly supports pet charities, including Speak! Rescue and Sanctuary, so your private celebration also contributes to a greater cause. This fusion of sophistication, wonder, and philanthropy ensures that every event I curate is both meaningful and luxurious.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is completely flexible! I can perform strolling interactive magic as your guests mingle with cocktails, or a parlor-style show where everyone gathers together in a living room or rented private dining space for a featured performance.
The beauty of close-up and parlor magic is that it is entirely self-contained. I bring everything needed right in my pockets or a small case. No stages, complex lighting, or massive audio setups are required, making it 100% stress-free for the host.
For strolling magic, the best time is during the cocktail hour or right after dinner when guests are moving around and socializing. For a featured parlor show, it works beautifully right after a meal or cake cutting when everyone is ready to sit back, relax, and enjoy a shared experience together.
I am proudly based in St. Louis and regularly perform for private celebrations, backyard soirées, and milestone events throughout the entire metro area—including Soulard, Ladue, Frontenac, Clayton, Town and Country, Chesterfield, and the Central West End. I am also fully mobile and frequently travel for private events across Missouri, Illinois, and the greater Midwest.
Host Planning Insights & Inspiration
Hosting a memorable private event at home is all about managing the energy of the room. While great food and a curated playlist are essential, introducing interactive entertainment elevates a standard party into an exclusive soirée. Strolling magic breaks the ice instantly, giving guests an immediate common ground and creating a buzz of excitement that carries through the entire evening.
Whether it’s a milestone birthday or a holiday gathering, private parties often bring together different groups of people—family, colleagues, and longtime friends. A skilled close-up magician acts as the ultimate social catalyst. By engaging small groups at a time, the magic breaks down social barriers, sparks laughter, and gets guests talking to someone new long after the performance moves to the next group.
