A Kid, a TV Special, and a Friend's Dad

Like a lot of magicians his age, Taylor's spark came from watching David Blaine on TV. The difference is what happened next. He wanted to try it but had no real way to learn, until high school, when he met a friend named John Bowe whose father was a working magician. Seeing magic performed live, up close, settled it. Fourteen years later, Taylor has performed at more than 700 events, from corporate gatherings and festivals to private celebrations, and along the way he moved past card tricks into hypnosis and mentalism. What ties it all together is a real curiosity about psychology and what people's minds can do when they're pulled into the moment instead of watching from a chair.

‍Magic You Hold, Then a Show You're In

Most of Taylor's shows run 45 to 90 minutes, and the best ones start before anyone sits down. He can work the room first, doing close-up card magic in guests' hands while drinks are still being poured, which gives everyone something to talk about right away. Then he pulls the group together for the main set: mind reading that draws thoughts, numbers, and secrets out of the audience, and a hypnosis segment with volunteers who opt in for the fun of it. The whole thing leans on comedy as much as mystery, so the reactions in the room become half the entertainment. He also works your group's names and inside jokes into the show, which is the kind of detail that makes it feel built for you rather than recycled from the last gig.

Easy for You, Big for the Room

Taylor brings his own sound system and props. All he needs is a small clear space or stage and a power outlet, so a rental living room, a private event space, or an office party room all work. Shows scale from groups of around 20 up to audiences of several hundred, and he tailors the material to the crowd. Family-friendly versions are available for birthdays and mixed groups, and adult-only shows can push the material further. Photo and video moments are built in, and hypnotized bridesmaids tend to produce footage your group will be passing around for a while.

Why It Works for Bachelorettes, Birthdays, and Teams

Plenty of party entertainment asks guests to sit back and watch. Taylor's whole approach is the opposite, and that's what makes it fit so well with group celebrations. For a bachelorette weekend, it's a ready-made night in that gets everyone involved, with the bride as the obvious first pick for the spotlight. For a birthday, it gives a mix of friends who don't all know each other a shared thing to laugh about. For a corporate team, it's a break from small talk that gets coworkers reacting to each other instead of their phones. His Batch listings carry a perfect five-star rating, and his goal is simple: people should leave talking about how they felt and what happened to them together, not only the tricks. Booking four to eight weeks out is the safe move, since his calendar fills across the Northwest.
