Ivan Amodei

One of today’s most gifted illusionists, Ivan Amodei (pronounced e-von ah-moe-day) could have easily settled for merely amazing people. But Amodei doesn’t meticulously craft his intimate performances — which are usually accompanied by live cello music — to simply stupefy. Whether it’s his world-class sleight-of-hand, fantastic storytelling or mind-blowing mentalism, every “trick” embodies a powerful truth about empowerment and hope. The Los Angeles Times named his long-running show Intimate Illusions a Top Pick, and BroadwayWorld called it “Spectacular!” Discover why Amodei has won six People’s Choice Awards for Best Entertainer when he brings his remarkable magic — and message — to your city.
