I’m Karl Washington, a magician who brings sophistication, mystery, and a touch of nostalgia to every performance. My magic isn’t just about tricks—it’s an immersive experience designed to captivate upscale audiences who appreciate the art of fine entertainment. With a Vaudeville-style approach, I blend charm, wit, and mesmerizing illusions to create unforgettable moments at elite events across Los Angeles, Chicago, Texas, Michigan, and Philadelphia.

Whether I’m performing for an intimate restaurant gathering or a grand stage show for 400 guests, my goal is always the same: to leave audiences in awe with a polished, high-caliber performance that elevates any occasion.

How I Got Here
My love for magic started as a child at the Boys Club in Texas, where a woodshop instructor first introduced me to the world of illusions. That spark of curiosity never left me, but it wasn’t until I moved to a place with the right resources that I truly began mastering the craft. I joined a professional magic club, honed my skills, and built a career performing for audiences who expect nothing but the best.
More Than Magic—A Purpose

Beyond performing, my life is grounded in faith, family, and integrity. As an ordained deacon, I believe magic should inspire, uplift, and bring people together. My performances reflect my values—I steer clear of dark arts and focus on creating joy, laughter, and a sense of wonder.

I work with high-achieving professionals who love the finer things in life, travel often, and seek luxury entertainment. They want more than just a magic show—they want an elevated experience that leaves a lasting impression on their guests.

This was an awesome experience! From the instant I booked Karl Washington I knew I had made the right decision. He called me soon after I had booked him and asked me details about the event - the type of event, age range, the lay out of the house, the flow of the party, etc. He was truly interested in customizing the experience to meet my needs. It was my son's 18th birthday and keeping a room full of fifty 17 and 18 year old kids entertained is a challenge - but he said he was up to it -- and he proved it!! He arrived on time and ready to go. His "walk around" close up magic was mesmerizing and actually drew my son and his friends away from the XBox tournament that had monopolized their time until Karl's arrival. I had booked him for two hours and after about an hour of up close magic which consisted of card tricks, rubber band tricks and other slight of hand illusions, he prepared the stage show. Everyone enjoyed the entire show, which included live animals, rope tricks, rings, and a bunch of other great magic tricks that kept their attention the entire time; I joked that if they had paid as much attention in AP English they would all have scholarships! He included guests from the audience quite a bit which was a big hit -- it as so exciting to see the kids call out their friends, joyously chanting the name of the next "volunteer." Karl's friendliness, engaging personality and humor stood out to me - I am sure that many magicians can pull off tricks, but not all can engage a group of teenagers in fun banter; he made people laugh as much as made them gasp in disbelief. I would hire Karl again in a heartbeat!
