Siqi Wang

Originally from Beijing, China, Siqi performs striking, very visual magic. You won’t believe your eyes as she causes ropes to magically meld and cards to transform and vanish right in your hand. Now living in the New York area, Archie is a regular performer at Manhattan’s A Taste of Magic where each week she creates mind-blowing close-up miracles for lovers of magic.

Myron the Magnificent

Myron carries on the traditions of his family's heralded magic legacy. Today he performs the repertoire of bewildering magic originated by his grandfather Mervyn and father Marvin the Magnificent. He recently returned from a tour of South America with the Circo de Santiago. Now that he has recovered from gastroenterological issues relating to that trip, he is pleased to return to the New York stage.

Don Swekoski

Don “The Disillusionist” Swekoski began doing magic at the late age of 5, after watching David Copperfield and thinking “wow nice hair.” He is a master of sleight of hand. Don has won some of the largest magic contests ever staged, performed on three continents, and has even entertained at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. He will lie to you, cheat you, and you will love it. Catch "The Disillusionist” if you can

Rachel Wax

Rachel Wax is a magician and a fashion design student from Chicago. She was originally inspired by her father’s ability to make people laugh and to amaze them simultaneously with magic and she strives to do this with each performance. She started doing magic four years ago and enjoys being able to perform professionally at A Taste of Magic.

MiKe Patrick

Mike has been doing magic for about 12 years, and he's been a professional for the last eight. He specializes in doing full magic shows. He also does walk around magic for weddings, but most of what he does is shows for groups of as small as five, but up to, 30, 40, 50 people in their homes or apartments, mostly in New York City. He really likes magic because he feels as though if you create the best sequence of magic, people will see something they’ve never seen before. When they’re on the edge of their seat, and they think that everything is over, and he does three or four things in a row that completely fry them, he knows that he will get them to the level where they just can’t handle it. They just completely fall apart, and, then, they experience magic. Because, that’s what it is. Magic is when nothing makes sense anymore, and everything seems perfect. It’s special effects in real life.
