Doug was great. He communicated well to plan out his visit to my home for some close up magic. His illusions were amazing. Made our party really fun! Would highly recommend. [performed strolling magic at his house party]

Very professional. Entertained many while roaming during a mixer. People were very impressed. Will use again. [performed strolling magic at their Corporate IP Strategy Conference]

I wish I could select all of the above. Douglas left our guests astonished and really brought the class and magic to our cocktail hour. Two days later and our guests still cannot stop raving over the entertainment he provided. Puzzled as to how he could pull off his amazing tricks and dazzled at our mystery guest. I don’t believe our company will host a holiday party without Douglas McCay moving forward. [performed strolling magic at their Holiday Party]

We hired Douglas for our corporate partner dinner last week (500+ people), and he was fantastic! He was punctual, incredibly professional, and brought such a dynamic energy to the evening. Our partners loved the experience, and his close-up magic added the perfect touch of excitement and connection throughout the event. Highly recommend!

We hired Douglas for a private birthday dinner party (about 15 people) and he was absolutely terrific! The performance was the perfect mix of mind-blowing magic, humor, and charm — it was a hit. It was the ideal length (45 mins) and energy for a cozy dinner party at home, and added such a memorable touch to the night. I’d highly recommend him for any event—he’s professional, engaging, and truly magical! [performed the close up magic show An Hour of Deception at her home in Oakland]

Doug was a hit with the crowd – there were 50 guests mostly in their 30s and they still talk about Doug as the highlight of the party which is saying a lot because there was a lot going on at the party. He was fun and entertaining and everyone had a great time because of him. [performed the close up magic show An Hour of Deception at her home]

Douglas McCay AKA The Charismatic Conjuror conveys an elevated magic experience which engages the audience in a relational manner unlike one I’d ever experienced from a magician. His manner of presence coupled with his entertainment skills elicited a superlative reaction from me. I’m not easily impressed yet Doug’s ability to involve the audience in his presentation is highly commendable. The content / manner of his presentation reflect a thoughtful and deliberate strategy! Looking forward to more of his shows!

~ Martie Santos (Google Review about the Wine and Magic Experience)

Absolutely an amazing magic performance. We were baffled by how good he is with his magic. And the wine was fine. It was above expectations. I highly recommend and will bring other friends back to see it again!

~ Lana Sainio (Google Review about the Wine and Magic Experience)

Hired Douglas for a happy hour in San Francisco! He is extremely talented and kept all the guests entertained. 10/10 would absolutely work with him again.
