I Performed Magic at Dodgers Stadium (And I Don't Even Watch Baseball)

A few weeks ago, I did something I genuinely never thought I'd do: I performed magic and mentalism at Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium for Dodgers 365. As a Los Angeles magician, I've worked some incredible rooms over the years, but this one came with a twist I didn't see coming.

So… full confession. I don't really watch baseball. Or sportsball of any kind. Like, at all. If you handed me a rulebook and a free afternoon, I'd probably use it as a coaster. So when this booking landed, my first reaction was equal parts "absolutely yes" and "wait, do I need to know what an RBI is?" (I still don't. We're all going to be okay.)

But here's the thing I learned that night: you do not have to be a sports person to be completely floored by walking into the actual stadium where all the magic happens. There's something genuinely wild about standing inside a place that millions of people have only ever seen on a screen. It's legendary in a way that hits you the second you step in. I've performed all over the world, but even as a seasoned Los Angeles magician, walking through those tunnels gave me chills.

Watching How the Sausage Gets Made

Before the event even started, I got to watch the players practicing out on the field. And I just stood there thinking, okay, this is how the sausage gets made. The batting, the warm-ups, the casual brilliance of people who are extraordinarily good at the thing they do. It was strangely moving to see the behind-the-scenes reality of somewhere so iconic. As a performer, I have a soft spot for the unglamorous prep work that happens before the lights come up — because that's exactly what my job is too. Hours of practice so that the moment of impossibility looks effortless.

That quiet pre-show window turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the whole night, and it set the tone perfectly for what came next.

500 Event Planners, Hot Dogs in a Champagne Skirt, and a Whole Lot of Fun

Then the doors opened and five hundred luxury event planners poured in, and the energy completely shifted. I spent the evening doing close-up magic while people ate appetizers, sipped baseball-themed cocktails, and — I am not exaggerating, I could not make this up — a woman walked around in a champagne skirt filled with hot dogs instead of actual champagne. Hot dogs. In the skirt. It was glorious.

This is exactly the kind of room where strolling magic shines. When you've got hundreds of guests moving, mingling, grazing the appetizer tables, you don't want a stage act that traps everyone in one spot. You want something that comes to them. As a Los Angeles strolling magician, my whole approach is built around weaving through a crowd, popping up table to table, and creating these little pockets of "wait, HOW did you do that?" that ripple out across the room. People look up from their drinks, pull their friends over, and suddenly a corner of the party has its own gravitational pull.

There was a design-your-own-Dodgers-hat station, the cocktails leaned all the way into the theme, and the whole vibe was just ridiculously, joyfully over the top. Best of all, I got to meet so many amazing event pros — including a bunch of familiar faces I've worked with before. That's one of my favorite things about this industry. You show up to a stadium expecting strangers and instead you're catching up with friends.

Then They Let Us Onto the Actual Field

Okay. The most insanely awesome, coolest, I-still-can't-believe-it part: they let us out onto the actual field. The real field. Where games happen. Where actual professional athletes do their thing.

I waited in line, grabbed a bat, and actually got to hit a ball at Dodgers Stadium. Me. The person who, twenty minutes earlier, could not have explained a single rule of the sport. And it gets better — my name and logo went up on the Jumbotron. Seeing "Magical Katrina" lit up on that enormous screen, in that enormous stadium, was one of those surreal career moments I'll be telling people about for years.

And then, because apparently this event decided it needed to be even more extra, they closed out the night with a drone show. Hundreds of drones lighting up the sky over the stadium, shifting into shapes and patterns above us. It was absolutely insane in the best possible way. I'm a person whose entire career is built on creating wonder, and even I was standing there slack-jawed.

Why a Venue Like This Works for Magic

Here's my honest takeaway as someone who performs at all kinds of events around the city. A venue with this much built-in awe does half the emotional work for you. People arrive already a little wide-eyed, already primed to be amazed — and that's the perfect emotional state for magic to land. When guests are open, curious, and a touch giddy, a piece of close-up mentalism doesn't just entertain them, it becomes part of the story they retell on the drive home.

That's the real value of pairing the right entertainment with the right space. The stadium brings the spectacle; the magic brings the personal, up-close, "this happened in my own hands" moment that a Jumbotron never can. Together, they make an event people genuinely cannot stop talking about. A good Los Angeles strolling magician is the connective tissue of a night like this — the thing that turns a beautiful venue into a beautiful memory. And honestly, part of why I love being a female magician in Los Angeles is getting to walk into rooms where people don't quite know what to expect, and then completely flipping the script on them.

Want to Do Something Unforgettable?

If you've got clients who love sports, or you're planning a bar mitzvah for a kid who's obsessed with baseball, or you just want to throw something your guests will never forget, Dodgers Stadium is an unbelievable place to do it. And if you want to add a layer of wonder that travels right up to each guest, that's exactly what I do. Hiring the right Los Angeles magician is the difference between a party people enjoyed and a party people can't stop describing to everyone they know.

As a female magician in Los Angeles, I've built my work around creating those personal, jaw-dropping moments — at stadiums, ballrooms, rooftops, and everywhere in between. Whether you need a Los Angeles strolling magician to work a cocktail hour, a mentalist for a keynote-style moment, or something custom-built for a wild themed night like this one, I'd love to dream it up with you. Booking a female magician in Los Angeles who can read a room, roll with the chaos of a hot-dog champagne skirt, and still deliver real astonishment is rarer than you'd think — and it's the whole reason I do this.

A huge thank you to the entire team at the stadium, and especially to Brittany Bertalotto and Victoria Nguyen for making this happen. You two were incredible, and I genuinely can't wait to do more events here.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go figure out what an RBI is. (I'm kidding. I'll never look it up.)
