Modern Magic for Unforgettable Events
Modern close-up magic, walk-around entertainment and interactive performances for weddings, corporate events, private parties and special events across Southern Ontario.
Meet Matt Anthony
Matt discovered magic at 12 years old and began performing professionally at events by the age of 16. What started as a fascination with the impossible evolved into years of performing at corporate events, weddings, private parties and community gatherings across Southern Ontario.
His specialty is interactive close-up entertainment. Instead of watching magic from across the room, guests experience impossible moments directly in front of them — cards, objects, predictions and mentalism-style effects happening right in their hands.
The result feels personal, spontaneous and memorable. It's the kind of entertainment people talk about long after the event is over.

From corporate receptions to wedding cocktail hours, Matt's magic is designed to fit naturally into the flow of your event — not interrupt it.
Interactive close-up and walk-around entertainment designed for company parties, networking events, conferences, brand activations, holiday parties and client events. Matt moves naturally throughout the room and performs for small groups — ideal during networking periods, receptions and the social portions of an event.
Give guests something unexpected to experience during your wedding. Close-up magic works particularly well during cocktail hour, photography periods, between dinner courses, or whenever guests are socializing. Matt moves from group to group, helping break the ice while creating memorable moments throughout the room.
Turn birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, holiday gatherings and private celebrations into something guests will remember. Matt can perform walk-around magic throughout the party or create a more structured, intimate performance for the group.
This is Matt's primary specialty. He moves throughout the event performing directly for groups of guests — no stage required, no complicated setup. Magic happens only inches away from the audience, often directly in their hands. It works beautifully at events where people are already mingling and socializing.

Matt can also provide structured performances ranging from approximately 45 minutes to one hour for smaller gatherings and intimate audiences. The experience combines interactive magic, audience participation, humor and impossible moments into a more structured show.

About Matt
Matt Anthony discovered magic at 12 years old. By about 16, he was already performing at corporate events, private parties and weddings. Over the years, magic became one part of a much larger career in live entertainment and events.
That background as an entertainer and event professional gives Matt a real understanding of how people interact inside an event environment. His goal isn't simply to perform tricks — it's to create moments.
Moments where a group of strangers suddenly starts laughing together. Moments where someone looks at the card in their own hand and can't understand what just happened. Moments that become part of the story people tell about the event afterward.
Matt specializes in close-up, walk-around magic because it lets the entertainment become part of the event rather than stopping it.
