Thank you Candace for allowing me the privilege of being the featured entertainment at your very special event. Hunter was absolutely fantastic, and you and your guests treated me most graciously. Believe me when I say that I got a lot out of doing this for you and Hunter, and it cannot be counted in dollars. Thank you again!

Brad Zinn performed for 25 people at my home on November 2 for a joint 65th birthday party. People traveled from all over the country and Brad and his wife, Brenda were FANTASTIC. He is a wonderful impressionist and friends said later that seeing favorite comedians from our past, like Red Skelton, George Burns, Johnny Carson, Groucho Marks, to name a few,, brought tears to their eyes.

This was our first experience hiring a magician and palm reader and not sure how this sort of entertainment would work at our anniversary party but couldn't be happier with the decision and results. All our guests were thoroughly entertained throughout the evening by Brad and his magic as well as Brenda and her palm reading. The line for palm reading never ended! Brad interacted with the guests in lieu of a standup on stage routine and his magic left everyone mystified. I would highly recommend Brad and his troupe. He was truly the hit of the evening. More...

I have known Brad for almost 45 years. His abilities as a Magician have always been a joy and an amazement. I have Loved taking friends and family to his performances. My parents and siblings have thoroughly enjoyed his performances, and then my children were overjoyed at the Arizona State Fair. Now another generation has joined the band wagon, nieces and nephews, and my grandchildren. What a joy to have a Legacy as a friend, an entertainer to count on for special occasions, fund raisers, and an Awesome Magician! He is the best I know in the business! More...

I’ve known Brad for over 30 years and have never met a more motivated, hard working individual in my life. He has always been dedicated to his craft(s).
As a magician there is little he doesn’t know and perform at a world-class level of professionalism. Whether its “close-up,” parlor or stage magic, Brad can do it all and always “leaves them wanting more.” As an impressionist, his impersonations are spot-on; jaw dropping, hysterical
re-creations of comic legends and personalities from Vaudeville and the Golden Age of Television. I’ve seen his “Tribute to the Great Comedians” multiple times and all I can say is, try not to gasp (like everyone else) when he turns around and “becomes” George Burns or Jack Benny or any one of many colossal entertainers from our past. It’s truly astonishing to see the result of years of dedication and heartfelt recognition to the giants on whose shoulders he stands. Don’t forget about his polished skills as emcee too. If you need someone to tie everything together for your next event, Brad is your man.
Do yourself (and your friends) a big favor and book Brad Zinn for your next event.

COMEDY MAGIC BANQUET SHOW
Brad Zinn's comedy and magic Banquet Show is a high energy exercise in pure entertainment. From start to finish, Brad involves the audience in the magic and the laughs. The show's high point is a tribute to Houdini complete with audience participation, comedy, and an inspirational - motivational message delivered with a light touch.
Other segments include an hilarious "Handy Dandy Home Kitchen Vege-Magic" demonstration. Various celebrities have participated in this routine including Damon Wayans, Arizona Cardinals Coach Joe Bugel, as well as many CEO's of large corporations. The finish to the show revolves around Brad's recollections of the very first magician he ever saw.
Brad also has many other routines up his sleeve ready to be customized for your group. Whether it's an Awards Ceremony, Convention Kick-Off, Birthday Celebration or Product Introduction, Brad can build a few surprises into the proceedings based on your needs. How about magically producing your CEO, VP of Sales, Santa Claus, or the Master of Ceremonies?
The banquet show is appropriate for groups ranging from 25 to 600 people or even more if you have video screen projection at your event. Shows of this type last from 20 minutes to 60 minutes.
WALK-AROUND CLOSE-UP COMEDY MAGIC
Dressed in tuxedo or "theme" costume, Brad performs mind boggling comedy magic inches away from the eyes of your guests while strolling from table to table or group to group during social hour, special event, private party, trade show booth, or at a "hospitality suite." Brad performs sleight-of-hand with various objects, such as cards, coins and currency, and borrowed (and returned!) articles from various audience members. This performance is perfect as an ice-breaker, conversation starter or as a prelude to the banquet show described above.
