The Magic Entertainment of John Gardenier The Bay Area's Best Choice in Magic Entertainment. I have been providing amazing magic entertainment for people of all ages for well over 30 years.

Like most people who perform magic, I became interested at a very young age. I began practicing regularly at age 12. Since then I have performed my brand of magic for thousands of people in a variety of venues. Additionally, I was one of several magicians featured on the popular television show “Bay Area Backroads”.

These two balloon bandits stopped by my booth at the Locust Street Festival and walked away with the loot, one penguin, one flower, and about 3,000 watts of pure joy! I’m not saying they were the happiest kids on the street… but I’m pretty sure their smiles powered half the festival. 🎈🐧🌸 johngardenier.com

That moment when the signed card shows up INSIDE the wallet...
And the whole table loses their minds! 😂🎉

This is why I love performing magic—the gasps, the laughs, the disbelief.
It’s not just about the trick. It’s about creating moments people never forget.

🎩💼 Watch their faces—this is what real magic feels like.

"Him: That’s my card!
Me: acts surprised like I didn’t just bend the laws of reality
Audience: collectively questions everything they know about physics, trust, and decks of cards.
Just another day making grown adults doubt their life choices.

The truth about being a magician? It's not just about pulling off cool tricks or getting applause.

Behind the scenes, it's a wild mix of joy, hustle, nerves, and more late-night card shuffles than I can count.

Being a performer means constantly learning, refining, and reaching for something just out of reach, the perfect illusion, the perfect reaction.

It’s equal parts sweat and sparkle. And while I love what I do, I’ll be honest: it’s not always easy.

Like any artist, I wrestle with doubts. Did they really enjoy that set? Could that moment have landed better? Is this still magical for them?

But here's the part I always come back to, even in the moments when I'm questioning everything, someone out there does still believe in the magic.

Sometimes it’s a smile in the crowd, a gasp during a routine, or a kind message after a show. That’s what keeps the fire lit.

I’m writing this not out of gloom, but out of gratitude and curiosity: if you’ve ever caught one of my shows, seen a video, or even witnessed a quick trick, drop a little love in the comments.

Let me know your favorite moment or just say hi. Your words matter more than you know, especially on the days I need a reminder of why I fell in love with this craft in the first place.

Thanks for believing in the magic.

“Okay, okay… let’s talk about the knife before you make any bold moves.”
This show had mystery, suspense, and just enough danger to keep everyone wide-eyed and laughing.
