Tulare County’s Master of Wonder

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to have your jaw drop and your mind race with “Wait… how did he do that?!” Magical Max is the performer to see. Based in Tulare County, this young professional magician has already made waves in the world of magic, earning membership in elite organizations like the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood (home to the legendary Magic Castle), the Society of American Magicians, and the Fresno Magic Club.

Known for razor-sharp sleight of hand, a mischievous sense of humor, and a performance style that’s as mysterious as it is interactive, Max can turn any gathering into an unforgettable experience.

The Spark of Magic

Max’s story began on a middle school choir trip to Disneyland. While his classmates were lining up for rides, Max was captivated by the Main Street Magic Shop. Hours slipped by as he watched trick after trick, and something clicked; he wanted to give people the same joy and amazement he was feeling in that moment.

Since then, every performance he creates is tailored to his audience, his venue, and the mood of the event. One of his most memorable shows? A 3 A.M. performance for middle schoolers at an all-night lock-in at Visalia First Church, proving that his magic keeps people wide-eyed no matter the hour.

Training with the Best

Though young, Max takes his craft seriously. Under the mentorship of magician Rob Zabrecky, known for his brilliantly quirky stage persona, Max continues to refine his skills. As a member of the Magic Castle Junior Society, he’s gained access to exclusive workshops, lectures, and one of the largest magic libraries on the West Coast.

His training extends far beyond California. For two summers, he attended the prestigious Tannen’s Magic Camp in Pennsylvania, learning from world-class magicians like Danny Garcia, Paul Vigil, Michael Carbonaro, Asi Wind, and Teller of Penn & Teller fame. He’s also been part of Magifest in Ohio and Magic Live in Las Vegas, rubbing elbows with legends such as Justin Willman, David Copperfield, David Blaine, and Penn & Teller.

In the Spotlight

The media has taken notice of this rising star. Max has been featured in The Sun Gazette and Redwood Gigantea, and has performed live on KSEE 24, with another TV spot lined up for KCAL in Los Angeles.

If you want to see the magic for yourself, you can catch him next at the Fox Theater before a free showing of Hotel Transylvania.

Book The Magic

A crowd of hundreds or a private living-room audience, Magical Max delivers a performance you’ll be talking about long after the final trick. To bring a little mystery, laughter, and amazement to your next event, follow him on Instagram @magicalmaxmagic or visit magicalmax.com.
