“Katrina was hired for my friend's Holiday Party, which I helped him plan. He decided to go all out with a live jazz pianist, open bar service, food and of course a magician. He can be very extra and that is why he has been my friend for three decades!

Magical Katrina was a doll and added to that extraness of the party. She was definitely a fun part of the evening. Katrina worked with what my friend wanted, which was an ice breaker for his clients, close friends and family. She was perfect in how she mingled with the guests as if she were one of the guests. Katrina did a couple of magic tricks for me including one where I had to draw my favorite animal on a card. Now mind you this party had an open bar, so my drawing skills were a little wonky which would have been the same if I wasn't drinking. I'm not going to tell you how the rest of the trick went because I don't want to spoil it for you. But it was pretty amazing and we all got a laugh later about the animals that we drew on the cards. Magical Katrina did add a great flair to my friend's holiday party. Many of his clients and are close friends said to him "Wow, you really went all out and got a roaming magician? That's pretty classy! She was so fun!" I definitely agree with what everybody said and she is definitely one smart cookie! I highly recommend Katrina for your event or party, she is quite magical!”

“I hired Magical Katrina to perform at my launch party event of Santa Barbara Tours & Experiences held at Oppi'z on State Street in Downtown Santa Barbara. She and I methodically worked out a plan for what would work best for that evening, which was a combination of close up magic and a stage show. Katrina is a true professional and knows how to read her audience, especially when it comes to picking the right guest for the right trick. Every guest was totally engaged and enjoyed every minute of it. I also really love how she injects comedy into the show. It was a perfect night out for everyone! I highly recommend Magical Katrina and will be working with her for future events.”

“Katrina's show was fun, funny, and executed flawlessly! We chose her show for our corporate event. I was amazed how she was able to conduct the show in a way where it didn't feel like it was virtual (which I know makes things harder on her, being you have to make sure everything is visible etc.) because it was just as entertaining and engaging like an in-person show. Also, we all had little magic kits mailed to us that we used to participate and become aspiring magicians. :) Book her now!!!”

“Katrina was SO fun for our event! She was funny, super interactive, and left many of us going, "WTF?! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!" in the most amazing ways. We added a workshop into what she did for us, so we all got to learn a magic trick that we can share with others, which is a lovely addition. And she taught us a bit of history at the beginning! Most of those in attendance were folks who had purchased advance tickets to an event we had planned in 2020, but couldn't fulfill, so we opted for a later event to make up for the covid-cancellation and it was so much better than anything else I can imagine having done. Everyone had a great time and I'm still getting messages about how much fun they had!”

“We hired Katrina for our virtual company holiday event. It was family friendly and a lot of fun! She did a great job engaging and entertaining the audience which is not easy over zoom. My family personally had a blast and know that my coworkers all really enjoyed the event. The magic tricks were a good mix of simple and jaw-dropping. Her show sprinkled in a lot of funny jokes and her energy was infectious. It was a great company event after a long year of remote work!”

”Katrina entertained our Rotary Club with her AMAZING holiday magic. We had people of all ages and EVERYONE was engaged and in awe of the magic. This was the most fun we have had at a Rotary Zoom meeting in 2 years! People are still talking about the tricks and trying to figure out how she did them. I would highly recommend hiring Magical Katrina for your next meeting, party, or event. She is very responsive to all calls, e-mails, and inquiries. The process of booking the show was a breeze and I found her to be the utmost professional in all aspects. She is such a gifted story teller and entertainer. Let her spread joy and magic at your next event!”

“We hired Katrina to perform a virtual magic show for Venice Family Clinic's annual holiday party and she did not disappoint! We all enjoyed her friendly and engaging show. Putting on a successful Zoom magic show for 450 people is no easy feat, especially because Katrina enjoys interacting with the audience and getting us involved in the making the magic happen. I'm very happy with the show and we plan to hire her again for future events.”

FAQ

Strolling Magician FAQ

What is a strolling magician?

A strolling (or walk around) magician performs close-up magic for small groups of guests as they mingle, instead of performing on a stage. Katrina moves through your event group by group and table by table, using sleight of hand with everyday items like cards, silverware, money and objects borrowed from your guests.

How many guests can a strolling magician entertain per hour?

Katrina typically engages 20–50 people per hour with her strolling magic, so for a larger group of 150–200 she recommends booking 3–4 hours.

What events are best for strolling magic?

Strolling magic fits almost any occasion:

  • Wedding cocktail hours & receptions
  • Corporate events & happy hours
  • Holiday parties
  • Conventions & trade shows
  • Product launches
  • Cocktail & private parties
Do you need a stage, sound system or special lighting?

No. Strolling magic does not require a stage. Katrina performs right where your guests are, which makes it ideal for venues of every size and for events where you want to break the ice without interrupting the flow of the night.

When should a strolling magician perform at a wedding?

The cocktail hour is the most popular time: guests are mingling while the couple is away taking photos, and magic keeps the energy up. Many couples also add time during dinner or the reception. See Katrina’s wedding magician page.

Can strolling magic be combined with a stage show?

Yes. Many clients pair strolling magic during the reception with a short stage or mentalism show, as Joseph S. did for his Santa Barbara Tours & Experiences launch party.

Can the magic include our brand, product or theme?
