When Gary Goodman was 12, he invited 20 friends
into his garage, charged 10 cents a head and locked the garage door so
they
couldn't escape. He spent the next hour performing magic and illusions
he'd learned from library books.
Barely a teenager, he had the good fortune
of meeting one of Houdini's illusion builders. He taught Gary how to
build and perform some of the same illusions he had built for Houdini.
He began performing these and his own original illusions during high
school and college.
Gary Goodman continues to relentlessly sharpen
and expand his skills in the three major categories of magic; Sleight-of-Hand,
Stage Magic, and Grand Illusion. This degree of tenacity has taken him
around the world performing for the most discriminating audiences.
Gary recently had the pleasure of performing
for Regis Philbin, Chevy Chase, Mike Wallace and the incomparable Mohammed
Ali! Other celebrities Gary has performed for: Celine Dion, Chris Evert,
Donnie and Marie Osmond, Jackie Mason, Mr. Food, Neil Patrick Harris,
Mel Torme, Nick Nolte, Keith Hernandez, Milton Berle, Joan Rivers, Smother's
Brothers, Steve Gutenberg, Mike Douglas, Shari Lewis, and many more.
Gary Goodman will astound your audiences with
his ability to 'get inside their heads' and read their minds. This is
a mind-reading show
combining mind-boggling feats of Mind Reading with humor and wit.
COCKTAIL RECEPTIONS
Close-up magic is the perfect ice-breaker during any type of meet & greet
session. Gary's selection of sleight-of-hand magic will leave them speechless.
How did he do that right in front of me. I never took my eyes off of him! A
perfect way to have mini-magic shows at a gathering.
STAGE PROGRAMS
Want to see the BIG magic! The Comedy Magic Show is a great way to kick-off
your opening ceremonies or wrap-up a successful meeting with an after-dinner
show. Get ready for non-stop, incredibly hilarious and phenomenal magic,
amazing music, tasteful audience participation, and jaw-dropping reactions
to the end.
"LAS VEGAS" STYLE
SHOWS
Get ready for the REALLY BIG, knock-your-socks-off magic! The Grand Illusions
take the "Comedy Magic Show" to the next level of disbelief. Gary
and his female assistant perform these incredulous "works-of-art" exclusively
during the program or strategically interjected throughout the "Comedy
Magic Show". Whether Gary is shrinking the assistant down to 2 feet or
making it snow on stage, you won't forget what you "think" you saw!
TRADE SHOW MAGIC
Gary Goodman is the bait that hooks your leads! Who can pass up a "happening" booth?
Gary gently draws in the spectators by utilizing the most stimulating props,
sound effects, and his rare ability to peak their curiosity. Only a professional
that understands the dynamics of such a large gathering can successfully attract
the non committed, and he's proven to be a magnet. After he successfully builds
a crowd, it's time to interject the company's message into the routines. At
the conclusion of his presentation, he delivers the qualified leads over to
your sales force to perform their "magic".
SPECIALTY MAGIC
Introduce your CEO or guest speaker from a puff of smoke, have key executives
learn magic routines to spice-up their presentations, or launch a campaign
with magic as the kicker. The ideas are unlimited.. and Gary can offer you
tried and true gems.
| In recognition of his rare magical
accomplishments, Gary was presented with the coveted "Order of
Merlin" award. The leading organization for professional magicians,
The International Brotherhood of Magicians, presented him the award
in recognition of his outstanding performance record. |
