The 5 Best Magicians in Dallas Who Always Bring a Mind-Blowing Show

Performance Quality: We selected magicians who deliver polished and skillful performances that leave audiences in awe.

Range of Services: We sought entertainers who perform at a wide variety of events, from private parties to corporate events, ensuring they can accommodate diverse needs.

Reputation: We prioritized those with favorable reviews, strong professional credibility, and a proven track record of providing memorable shows.

Engagement: We listed performers who excel at crowd interaction, keeping guests involved, entertained, and fully immersed in the experience.

Magic has a way of making us feel like kids again—eyes wide, curious, and slightly suspicious of reality.

There was this magician in Dallas who pulled a coin from behind my ear at a birthday party when I was twelve. I spent the next week trying (and miserably failing) to do the trick on my dog.

Since then, D-Town’s magic scene has only gotten better, with performers who can wow a corporate crowd just as easily as they can enchant a room full of children.

If you’re looking for artists who actually deliver an entertaining show, here are the best magicians in the city who deserve your full attention.

Anthony is a mentalist who takes pride in his over 20 years of experience, touring Texas and the entire United States.

What makes him particularly captivating is his mastery of psychological influence. If you’re into artists who could force you into doing actions without even knowing it, he’s definitely a great choice.

Throughout his career, he’s blown people’s minds at wedding ceremonies, birthday parties, trade shows, and conventions with his mind-reading tricks. 

Beyond his talent, we were impressed by his versatility. He could amaze a group of guests face-to-face or wow a whole crowd while on stage, depending on your preference.

However, due to his popularity, some people reported difficulty booking a slot.

Pros

  • Has over 20 years of experience
  • Highly versatile
  • Skilled in mind-reading tricks
  • Performs at a wide range of events

Cons

  • Difficult to secure a slot

All of his tricks exploded people’s minds

“Anthony was simply amazing. We hired Anthony to provide team building and entertainment for a November holiday party for the staff. Anthony was with us for the afternoon into evening. Every aspect of working with Anthony was exceptional. Not only is he talented, but he’s also organized, easy to work with, responsive, clear, and concise. The staff raved about the team building and the entertainment. He was funny, gifted, and all of his mentalist/magic exploded people’s minds trying to figure it out. It was so great for all of us to laugh and make memories together. Everyone felt included and had a great time. As the planner, Anthony was a dream to work with. I recommend him for any event, and would work with him again for other clients.”

His tricks were mind-bending, and his personality was engaging

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible! We hired Anthony Dempsey for our event, and he blew everyone away. His tricks were mind-bending, his personality was engaging, and he had both kids and adults completely captivated the entire time. His energy and professionalism were top-notch. This was the best entertainment i’ve seen at an event. If you’re looking for someone who will wow your crowd and make your event unforgettable, this is the magician to book. Highly recommend!”

Jim has been a magician since 1986, having performed at the Magic Castle in Hollywood for numerous celebrities.

His spectacular close-up magic shows have earned him recognition from both the Texas Association of Magicians and the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

What makes his acts truly memorable is that he makes the magic happen with items he has borrowed from the audience, such as a dollar bill, a coin, a ring, or even their phone.

Better yet, people appreciate how he seamlessly blends his charismatic humor in every performance, making his plays both fascinating and entertaining.

One thing we found out, though, is that he typically specializes in formal events, which means he may not be the right fit for casual gatherings like birthday parties.

Pros

  • 39+ years in the magic industry
  • Award-winning performer
  • Incorporates comedy in performances
  • Proficient in close-up magic

Cons

  • Has less experience in casual events

Everyone in the room was absolutely amazed

“It’s hard to convey how amazing this show is. We hired Jim to celebrate a birthday on Thanksgiving day. When we reached out to Jim, he was in Japan, but still responded within 20 minutes. Once the show was booked, Jim’s communication was fantastic – responsive, clear, and available. An absolute necessity during the holidays when things are hectic. The show was spectacular. Everyone in the room was absolutely amazed. I cannot recommend Jim enough, both as a professional and an incredible magician.” 

-John Potts, Google Review 

Very nice guy and knew how to keep the guests entertained

“I’m going to be honest, at first I wasn’t a huge magic fan. However, after seeing Diamond Jim’s performance at my birthday & grad party, my perception of magic has changed. To say the least he is a FABULOUS magician, performer, and entertainer. Not only is he polite and professional, his magic was also top tier. Very nice guy and knew how to keep the guests entertained! His performance was genuinely out of this world. This was not only my favorite part of the night but all 60 of my guests. I would recommend doing the strolling magic before the show to get your guests hooked! 100/10 would recommend. Choose Diamond Jim for your next party, you will NOT regret it! Beyond my expectations!”

Rob Haddon discovered magic as a child watching Mark Wilson on Saturday mornings on television. He began practicing and delivering shows in his garage for friends and neighbors, charging a small admission fee.

Those humble backyard performances sparked what would become a lifelong career. And today, he’s been in the magic industry for over two decades.

What really hooked us is his ability to execute various acts, from sleight-of-hand and mind-reading tricks to hypnotism. He’s like the Four Horsemen in one body (if you watched Now You See Me, you know what I’m talking about).

His professionalism extends beyond the stage as well. Most people love that he offers a free virtual consultation, which makes things much faster compared to sending emails back and forth.

Just take note that he only performs at private events, such as family and corporate parties, so you’ll need a different magician if you’re organizing a public or community festival.

Pros

  • More than 20 years in business
  • Does sleight-of-hand, mind-reading tricks, and hypnotism
  • Offers a free virtual consultation

Cons

  • Only performs at private events

Still not sure how he pulled some of those tricks off

“We had Rob Haddon perform at our community Halloween event, and he was absolutely amazing! He was wonderful to work with — professional, funny, and super easygoing. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and it shows in his performance. If you’re looking for an entertainer who’ll wow your crowd and make your event feel effortless, I couldn’t recommend him more. Still not sure how he pulled some of those tricks off… and trust me, I looked for the mirrors. 😉 — Crystal Delgado, Property Manager”

He did up close magic with all of us and provided great entertainment

“Rob and his assistant put on an amazing show! My wife loves magic so we hired him for her birthday and had about 12 friends over to watch. He did up close magic with all of us and provided great entertainment and kept us laughing as well. He is truly a professional at what he does as that is easy to tell by the way he conducts himself and he loves what he does. I would recommend to anyone for a fun night out, let Rob entertain you!”

Alan has over 16 years of professional experience and was named “Best Dallas Magician” by NBC. He has been featured in D Magazine, which described him as “a wildly engaging magician and mentalist.”

That engagement comes naturally. Most of his plays are highly interactive, always making his audience the star of the show by inviting them on stage to be active participants.

Several people we spoke to applauded his clean humor. Unlike some magicians, he doesn’t crack jokes on things that might upset some guests, such as racial, political, or off-color banters.

Apart from his skill set, we were amazed to discover that he carries a million-dollar public liability insurance. This is especially reassuring given that his acts are heavily reliant on patron involvement.

That said, he mostly performs at corporate events and doesn’t accept other types of gigs.

Pros

  • Has 16+ years of professional experience
  • Delivers highly interactive performances
  • Has a clean humor
  • Carries $1,000,000 public liability insurance

Cons

  • Focuses heavily on corporate events

He blew everyone away with a captivating and mind-bending performance

“I had the pleasure of meeting Alan at a corporate event this past December. I was instantly impressed by his extraordinary skills. I hired him for our charity league’s 30th anniversary celebration and he blew everyone away with a captivating and mind-bending performance that exceeded all expectations. An absolute must-see for anyone seeking an unforgettable and mystifying experience! 10/10 stars, highly recommend!”

People were literally jumping out of their seats

“We hired Alan for a corporate party.. it was my idea, but my boss did not like the idea or the cost… However, I convinced him that this would elevate our party to another level and he gave in… My boss was BLOWN AWAY by Alan- along with all of our guests! Alan was so professional, well dressed, well spoken, and a FANTASTIC magician. People were literally jumping out of their seats shouting because of the incredible magic he performed. Our event was 2 months ago and people still talk about Alan! Would recommend to anyone and would give 10 stars if I could!”

Kendal Kane distinguishes himself among Dallas magicians by delivering fully bilingual performances in both English and Spanish, making him ideal for culturally diverse events.

His adaptability doesn’t stop there: we found out that most of his acts are family-friendly and appeal to audiences of all ages.

Part of what makes his performances so appealing is his remarkable technical skill. He keeps the crowd fully engaged with his sleight-of-hand tricks using cards, balls, and other small objects.

Beyond the show itself, many parents appreciate the range of kids’ birthday party packages he offers, from basic and deluxe to the ultimate party bash.

However, we noticed that he has limited experience in delivering plays at formal events compared to some entertainers.

Pros

  • Offers shows for all ages
  • Expert in sleight-of-hand tricks
  • Has a great selection of kids’ birthday party packages
  • Performs in English and Spanish

Cons

  • Has limited experience in formal events

Mr. Kane was entertaining, had a great stage presence, and kept everyone happy

“We booked a magic show for our daughter’s 9th birthday party and were glad we did! Mr. Kane was entertaining, has great stage presence and kept the kids attentions from beginning to end! All of the kids wanted to participate and our daughter was the star of the show! She couldn’t stop laughing and enjoyed the show tremendously! She even did some tricks the next day from the gift Mr. Kane gave her! If you want something different from the ordinary. This is the best way to entertain a lot of kids and I highly recommend! Five stars 🌟”

His magic left kids and adults saying, “How did he do that?!”

“The best magician! So entertaining- my son and our guests spent the rest of the day talking about the show. The magic is really amazing and left kids and adults saying “how did he do that?!” Kane was kind, engaging, had the best music, and was so fun to watch. I would recommend Kane Magic to anyone interested in magic. Highly recommend the levitation trick as well- truly spectacular. So happy that he had availability on our day- thank you Kane Magic!”
