The Magic and Comedy of Bill Herz

Bill Herz’s fast-paced, interactive comedy, magic and mind-reading show is ideal for groups of 20 to 2000. Requiring extensive audience participation, the show is an energetic display of visual dexterity, wit and psychological mysteries designed for thinking audiences. Borrowed objects vanish and reappear, spectators’ thoughts are stolen and eye-popping impossibilities make even the most sophisticated audiences wonder if what they saw is really possible…and the only staging requirements are a table, a microphone and a willing audience.

Each show is custom tailored to the demographics of the group, incorporating your meeting’s themes and key business messages.
