With years of experience, this magician has taken everything you thought you knew, about a Magician thrown it out the window. Logging 40,000 miles per year with well over 1,000 shows under his belt.
Reed says, “It is his mission to provide each audience with what Dillard’s referred to as “A Truly Interactive Experience.” He do this, by packing each performance full of Brain-Bending New Age Illusions and Ridiculous Stunts. Reed Masterson | Award Winning Illusionist & Magician. Breath-Taking Escapes, Audience Participation, and just “The Absolute Correct Amount of Comedic Relief.” But that’s not all, each of his routines are precisely timed and choreographed to a dynamic, theatrical soundtrack that heightens the senses, and blends every element perfectly into a “Phenomenal, Vegas Quality Show!”

Unfortunately, those opportunities are rare but “being able to do what you love and share that passion with the world, is so worth it,” says Reed.
