Customized magic for corporate events!
Robert Strong has been crisscrossing the world since 1985,
entertaining audiences large and small, young and old, formal
and casual, and everything in between! Twice voted “San
Francisco’s Best Comedian”, he has appeared
on every major television network, in all 50 states, in
over 30 countries, and for two Presidents of the United
States.
Although Robert specializes as a corporate entertainer,
he regularly appears at a broad range of events: trade shows,
conventions, product launches, cruise ships, colleges, comedy
clubs, private parties, political events, and much more.
No two Robert Strong shows are ever the same! He believes
in creating a unique experience for each audience that is
both interactive and magical. Robert’s enthusiasm
and charisma leave audiences buzzing with excitement and
memories that will last a lifetime!
It all started when young Robert Strong visited Baltimore.
A magician in the Amphitheater mesmerized him. At that moment
Robert vowed to be the best magician ever. His parents considered
therapy, but magic lessons were cheaper.
Robert continued training at Tannen’s Magic School
in New York and Towson University in Maryland. He then studied
with touring stand-up comedians, Cirque du Soleil choreographers,
Ringling Brothers circus clowns, Broadway directors, and
world-class jugglers.
Because Robert has worked all over the world, he has mastered
performing for multi-lingual audiences. His shows are very
visual. Wherever Robert goes, he still carries that sense
of wonder and passion for magic that he first experienced
as a youngster in Baltimore, but now he is the one doing
the entertaining!

Sample Routines
The Great Escape
Once Robert is shackled, he instructs the audience-volunteer to time
his escape. A look of shock and surprise crosses the volunteer’s
face when he realizes his watch is missing. That’s right, the
sneaky magician stole his watch while locked in the shackles! Robert
effortlessly gets in and out of the shackles without the volunteer
having a clue. The laughter rolls and rolls through the audience until
the volunteer catches Robert in his shenanigans.
Fire and Chainsaw (available
upon request)
The audience will be awestruck watching Robert flirt with death, danger, and
destruction as he actually juggles three flaming torches and eats fire. Then,
to temptwfate, Robert tosses around a running chainsaw like it was a harmless
beach ball.
The Magic of Teamwork
Four volunteers from the audience are given nicknames, seated closely
together, and hypnotized. All four chairs are removed. Amazingly, the
volunteers do not fall to the floor. Each volunteer is supporting the
person in front of him. It’s the magic of teamwork! The audience
laughs hysterically while the volunteers “problem-solve”,
trying to figure out how to get out of their predicament.
A Sharp Balance
Robert balances precariously on a board, tube, and two chairs while
juggling an axe, a machete, and a sickle. The audience cheers
for the death-defying
juggler and the brave volunteer who has just pulled off a solo
performance of the Village People’s YMCA.
The Slice-O-Matic
Robert demonstrates his new “magical” kitchen
appliance. It slices, dices, and chops fresh vegetables.
It has one important safety feature. It will not chop hands
(the hands of the volunteer that is). With the flick of
the wrist and a snap of the fingers, the razor sharp blade
passes right through the volunteer’s hand and a carrot.
The carrot is sliced in two while the volunteer’s
hand is safe and sound. The audience and volunteer take
a big sigh of relief.
