What makes it different
The virtual magician you can feel confident booking.
- 01
Built for the skeptics on the call.
Kostya’s virtual magic shows are made for professional teams. Penn Jillette called him one of the best magicians in the world today, and online audiences spend the hour laughing and trying to work out how he does it. There are no cheesy jokes or awkward silences, and nobody on the call is made to look foolish.
- 02
The magic happens in their hands.
Every trick in the show involves the audience. At key moments, every guest plays along from their own desk with their own deck of cards, and the impossible happens in their hands instead of on his screen.
- 03
Broadcast from a professional studio.
Multiple cameras, high-resolution streaming, on-screen branding and technical fail-safes. After hundreds of online events, Kostya has a backup ready for each piece of equipment, so you never spend the show wondering whether the stream will hold.
- 04
A booking team that plans it with you.
From the first email to showtime, Kostya’s booking team answers your questions quickly and brings up the ones you might not think to ask. You get the resources to win buy-in from your planning committee, and promotional materials so your audience shows up excited.
- 05
A card trick to take home.
The show closes with Kostya teaching your guests a card trick of their own, with printable instructions you can send afterward. Your team walks away able to fool their families that night.

The three formats
Which format do you need?
Many events use two. If your evening has a reception and then everyone sits down, close-up magic covers the standing part and a show covers the seated part.
| What you are comparing | Close-up magic He comes to your guests, a few at a time, and the magic happens in their hands. See it | A magic show One performance for the whole room, with volunteers from your own guests. See it | A virtual show A live show over Zoom, with guests taking part from their own desks. You’re reading this one |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your room | Guests standing, mingling, or seated at tables | Guests seated and watching one thing | Guests wherever they are, on a call |
| How long | One to three hours, group by group | 30 to 60 minutes, one show | 45 to 60 minutes, one show |
| Who sees it | A few at a time, most of the room across the hour | Everyone, in the same moment | Everyone, in the same moment |
| Your venue provides | Nothing. No stage, microphone, lighting or power | A microphone, light on his hands, and sightlines | Nothing. The Zoom link comes from Kostya’s team |
| Where it usually sits | The reception, the dinner, or a trade show booth | After dinner, or following an awards presentation | An all-hands, a client event, or a team offsite |
Another option
Need a different date, budget or language?
Kostya founded See Magic Live, a booking company of magicians and mentalists he has personally selected. If your date is taken, your budget works differently, or your audience would prefer a show in another language, his team there will find the right virtual performer and stand behind the booking.
Questions
Your virtual magic show questions, answered.
What is a virtual magic show?
An interactive virtual magic show is a live magic and mentalism performance over Zoom. Kostya performs from his studio while your guests watch from their homes or offices, and he calls on them by name to take part in the magic.
Why choose Kostya for a team-building or client appreciation event?
Kostya is known as The Business Magician after more than a thousand performances at conferences, meetings and corporate events. His virtual shows are designed for companies, associations and organizations, and he has performed for tens of thousands of guests online.
What happens during a Zoom magic show?
You welcome your guests, and Kostya takes it from there: a blend of sleight of hand, mentalism and theatrical mind reading, with audience participation throughout. Guests join in by name, and at key moments everyone plays along from their own desk.
Can I just watch, or do I have to participate?
Watching is always welcome. Kostya invites people who want to take part, treats every volunteer with respect, and makes them look good.
Can I choose the volunteers in advance?
Kostya chooses them live. The spontaneity is part of what makes the show work, and he has a practiced eye for who will enjoy it most.
How many people can attend?
Anywhere from 10 people to several thousand. The show adapts to the size of the group, from an intimate client dinner on Zoom to a company-wide all-hands.
What platform does Kostya use?
Zoom, on Kostya’s own secure HD account. His team hosts the meeting and sends you the link, so there is nothing for your IT department to set up and nothing to go wrong on your side. If your company has to use its own platform, he can perform on Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex or your event platform instead.
What’s the best time of day for a virtual magic show?
Just before lunch works well within a virtual conference. During the week, a virtual happy hour is a natural fit. For client events or shows that include families, early evening is best.
Will it hold a team with Zoom fatigue?
Yes, because nobody is watching a screen passively. The show is built around interaction, with guests participating from their own desks, and it runs a tight 45 to 60 minutes.
Do companies still book virtual magic shows?
Yes. With distributed teams and clients spread across time zones, a virtual magic show is one of the few events that gives everyone the same front-row seat at the same moment, without anyone boarding a plane.
Can Kostya perform for international audiences?
Yes. Kostya regularly works with global teams. For audiences who’d prefer a language other than English, his team can arrange a virtual magician who performs in it.
Can Kostya give a keynote virtually instead of a show?
Yes. Alongside the show, Kostya delivers his keynotes virtually, including Think Like A Magician™, on how perception shapes the way customers and colleagues see your team.
How much does a virtual magic show cost?
Every quote is built around your goals, audience size and any brand customization. Send your date and you’ll hear from Kostya’s team within one hour during business hours.
