For over three decades, Ben Orson has devoted himself to the quiet, exacting art of sleight-of-hand. Long before magic was fashionable, before television spectacles and viral illusions, Ben was shuffling cards, studying the masters, and refining the subtle mechanics of astonishment.

 

Today, he is regarded as a polished and dependable professional whose close-up magic transforms events into experiences.

 

Ben specializes in sophisticated, interactive magic performed among guests — at cocktail receptions, corporate functions, private celebrations, gala evenings, agricultural shows, and intimate gatherings. His style is elegant, intelligent, and grounded in old-world charm. Think candlelight, polished shoes, pressed jacket, and a deck of cards handled with the quiet confidence of long familiarity.

 

Guests do not merely watch Ben perform — they experience the impossible in their own hands.

 

 

A Lifetime of Craft

 

 

With 30 years of card handling behind him, Ben’s performances are not tricks hurriedly learned; they are techniques refined through decades of practice and performance. His magic is built upon classical sleight-of-hand, subtle psychology, and impeccable timing.

 

He draws inspiration from traditional conjuring arts while presenting material in a contemporary, engaging manner suited to modern audiences. The result is magic that feels timeless — neither dated nor flashy — but deeply human.

 

 

Professional, Polished, Reliable

 

 

Agencies and event coordinators value Ben for more than just his skill.

 

  • Always impeccably dressed and event-appropriate

  • Punctual and thoroughly prepared

  • Respectful, family-friendly, and never offensive

  • Adaptable to formal, corporate, or relaxed environments

  • Experienced with both intimate gatherings and large-scale public events

 

 

Ben understands that close-up magic must enhance an event, not dominate it. He reads a room effortlessly, knowing when to build energy and when to create quiet moments of wonder.

 

 

Versatile Performance Settings

 

 

Ben is equally at home performing:

 

  • Roving magic at cocktail functions

  • Table magic at gala dinners

  • Meet-and-greet entertainment at corporate events

  • VIP experiences

  • Product launches

  • Weddings and milestone celebrations

  • Regional events and festivals

 

 

He thrives in environments where personal connection matters — where guests value interaction, sophistication, and memorable moments.

 

 

Travel & Commitment

 

 

Based in Australia and accustomed to regional touring, Ben will travel wherever he is needed. From metropolitan venues to rural halls, coastal resorts to country pavilions — by paddle steamer or locomotive, he will arrive ready to perform.

 

Distance has never deterred him; professionalism travels well.

Summary Time Price

Same as my standard stage show except I also have a few illusions.  Swordbasket, pole suspension, sword thru neck and zigzag illusions intermingled with  largere conjuring effects make this show suitable for larger stages, larger audiences and even just for those that want something special.
