Comedy first, astonishment second. Private events and public shows across southwest New Mexico — built for rooms that talk back.
I'm Justin — a mentalist and stage magician based in Silver City, working private parties, corporate events, and public shows across the region.
My shows run on a simple order of operations: make the room laugh, then make them doubt what they just watched. Every effect is built original, tested live, and reset fast enough that nobody's waiting around for the next moment.
No capes, no false mysticism — just sharp reads, sharper timing, and a persona that's more "charming bastard" than stage wizard.
Every show is tailored to the room — how many people, how close they are, and what kind of night it is.
A tailored set for birthdays, holiday parties, and company events — scaled to your guest list, your space, and how much spectacle you want in the room.
A full mentalism show built for a real audience — a narrative arc with an opener, a midpoint turn, and a closer people talk about after they leave.
Notes on the craft, the history, and the occasional oddity that ends up in the act.
A 30-second reset is the difference between one great trick and a show that never loses momentum.
From Victorian spiritualism to cold reading — the line between performer and con man was never that clean.
Most routines start as a bad idea in a notebook, six months before they're ever good enough to perform.
The audience tells you what they want in the first ninety seconds — if you're paying attention.
Text me the date, headcount, and venue — I'll reply personally, usually within the day. Serving Silver City and southwest New Mexico.
