See the magic and have some laughs with Elliott Smith!

Elliott Smith has entertained corporations, television audiences and travelers across Canada, the United States, Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico for over 42 years. A member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the distinguished Order of Merlin Shield, Elliott has performed his special brand of magic and comedy for past Prime Ministers of Canada, International Ambassadors, the late Liberace as well as Jay Leno. Recently, he was the headline act at the prestigious Friars Club in New York – the first Canadian Magician to do so in the club’s 111-year history.
His interactive magic brings fun and excitement to any event large or small. He is a master of stage and close-up magic, escapes and mind reading. He performs his own brand of trickery to wider audiences on a whole new level – using his magic as a medium to conduct team-building, motivational and sales training to companies and organizations of all sizes.
 
Shows:
CLOSE-UP MAGIC:  Elliott performs close-up minor miracles of magic throughout the room interacting with your guests during a reception. The magic happens mere inches before their eyes and sometimes right in their hands … they won’t believe their eyes! This works great as an ice-breaker and adds a personal touch that raises the level of energy in the room. It stirs up lots of laughs and creates a pleasant atmosphere for everyone!
COMEDY STAGE MAGIC: Wow the guests at your next event no matter what size of audience you have. Elliott’s interactive show will captivate your audience and is packed with humor and surprises they will not soon forget. This show is comprised of illusion and mentalism maximizing the use of comedy, wit, lots of audience participation and fun with many hilarious moments your guests are sure to remember. The audience will not only see the magic but they will live it! If you’re looking to laugh and have a great time, this is the show.
EMCEE: Same old, same old? Spice up the evening with a magical emcee adding his unique style, comedy and flair. A great way to introduce speakers, announce award winners or just add some fun and flavor to the evening.
opening for two legendary Rock & Roll groups – The 4 Aces and Bill Hayley’s Comets.
A few Testimonials:
“Elliott, I want to thank you for bringing your magic to the Friars Club in New York. Our members had a wonderful time enjoying not just your magic but also the comedy aspect that you brought with it. As you can imagine, the Friars love a good laugh and you gave them many. Your engaging style and wonderful wit won them over and trust me, they are a very tough crowd to win over!” M. Caputo, General Manager, Friars Club New York
“I never saw a crowd as totally tuned in to a show as they were with Elliott’s performance. Not only is he an amazing Magician but one of the funniest comedians I have ever booked at Coconuts Comedy Club. Elliott kept the show light and fun with no shortage of thrills and laughs, he left everyone speechless with his slick magic. I recommend Elliott to anyone looking for a great night of entertainment, he has been one of our most popular shows ever.”  L. Greenbaum, Owner, Coconut’s Comedy Club
“This was Elliott’s first time at our club and he was phenomenal. This was a sold out show of 200 members at a  55+ country club. Elliott kept everyone laughing the entire show and his interaction with the members was great to see – they loved it. My assistant and I were in the back of the room laughing the entire time, everyone was very impressed with his performance.  I had members asked how I found him and to please bring him back. A great time was had by all.” M. Jarrell, F&B Manager, Heritage Springs Country Club
