His stage presence makes you feel like he is performing just for you, that is magic in itself. You should get on his mailing list so you can see him perform live. Get ready to be blown away!! read more

Our company had Arthur out for one of our annual corporate events and he was fabulous. Magicians in Los Angeles are plentiful, and I have seen a lot of them, but Arthur's show is uniquely his. The highlight of the evening was his strolling magic-real up close and personal. I'm always on the hunt for good entertainment and am delighted to have come across this gem in Los Angeles. I highly recommend Arthur Trace for your next event! read more

We celebrated my husband's 40th birthday party last Thursday at Casa Bar in Costa Mesa. We asked Arthur to do a Stroll Through Magic Act for our guests. He did a magnificent job of entertaining, amazing and making the night memorable for all our guests. Some guests took home a memento from a few of the tricks. The night was just so fun and memorable with Arthur's performance. He managed to get to every guest that night. We hope to experience the Magic of Arthur Trace again! read more

Arthur Trace performed his magic at our company holiday event in 2013. He was fabulous! There are about 200 people in our company and he entertained each and everyone of them. People are still talking about how really wonderful and personable he was. Within the two hours he was with us he had nearly every person's name memorized (I'm sure part of his gift), but it made each individual feel special. I would recommend him in a heartbeat - for any sized group. Thank you Arthur for a great time. (I should add, our office is in San Diego.) read more

Turned 60 last week and had a blow out party at the Deck in Laguna Beach. In addition to tons of good food and strong drinks, needed a little entertainment. Couldn't have made a better choice than Arthur Trace. He spent 2 hours walking around from table to table doing amazing slight of hand tricks. Thoroughly entertaining and professional. I would recommend him for any event. read more

I work for an LA based non-profit, P.S. ARTS and we hired Arthur to perform roaming magic for our guests at the LA Modernism Opening Night party.

I highly recommend Arthur Trace! I have planned many events and Arthur is one of the most professional and courteous people I have worked with. He is very easy going and does all that he can to make you feel at ease. He also takes the time to learn about what type of event you are holding and get a feel of the type of people who will be attending. He absolutely knows what he is doing. Arthur is always accessible; anytime I had a question he responded to me very promptly. Arthur's performance was out of this world. He is very skilled magician. Everyone at our event, which included some very important people, were very impressed and amazed by his talent. You should not hesitate booking Arthur Trace for any upcoming event! read more

We hired Arthur for a party we recently had. He was hands down, the best part! Our friends are still talking about him. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he is also charming and professional. He arrived early to warm up and we ended up splurging on another hour because we weren't ready to let him go. He was attentive to my husband, whom the party was for, and still managed to include all the guests. I can't imagine having found a better person for the job! Thank you so much Arthur Trace! read more

Arthur's Magic is mesmerizing! I hosted an intimate, upscale, birthday party for my wife and Arthur was the headline attraction for the event. He began the evening engaging the crowd with his strolling magic routine. He seamlessly worked his way through the room giving everyone a chance to see his jaw dropping magic up close and personal. To end the evening, Arthur performed a small stage show which blew the crowd away. Arthur has a fantastic sense of humor and displays it so well during his performance. Not only were the guests enjoying the magic they were laughing as well. Arthur's professionalism is first class and was the perfect entertainer for my event! read more

I hired Arthur to perform at my husband's 40th surprise birthday party and he was nothing short of AMAZING! I spoke to a bunch of magicians and not having seen him perform before I wasn't sure which direction to go. I watched some shows that where posted on line and I was highly impressed. He really stood out and was very unique in his performance. My husbands birthday party was in a private room at a restaurant and he was kind enough to look at the space before hand to ensure he was going to put on a show that fit the space. Upon arriving at the restaurant there where a few surprises we where not expecting and he was so flexible to accommodate and the show was spectacular. All of our guests where absolutely blown away and my husband who does magic as a hobby was completely taken back and loved every moment! Arthur incorporated all of our guests in the show and made everyone feel included and involved which was so great! My only wish was that I had asked him to perform for a longer period since all my guests where so entertained! Arthur really was a huge part in making my husband's birthday so special and one which he will never forget. I look forward to seeing Arthur perform again in the near future as he is the best magician I have seen perform by far! read more

Arthur is great! We hired him for a party, and he added that extra element that made the evening outstanding. All night I kept overhearing conversations about how awesome he was. He will certainly amaze his audience with his talent, but he also has a very keen sense of what a party needs, and can adapt accordingly. He has a great style--professional, funny, charming, and a genuinely nice guy. If we hadn't hired him to do roaming magic with our guests, he would have made a great guest himself. You will not be disappointed in his services--he is well worth what he charges. He is superbly deserving of the 5 star rating. read more

Arthur Trace is the ultimate entertainer! Highly professional, just as personable, and what a show! I hired Arthur to perfom both strolling magic and a 30 minute performance show for my husband's birthday party. We and ALL of our guests LOVED both performances. We'd hire him again in a hot minute. Arthur strikes exactly the right balance of performer, personable person, and professional. Not always easy to pull off and he personifies each to a "T". You can't go wrong hiring him for your event! read more

We hired Arthur as "entertainment" for our corporate holiday party. He was a surprise and did a great job just blending in with the crowd. He worked the group in small clusters and really brought a fun, unexpected performance for our team to enjoy. People were so amazed that the word of his being there spread almost instantaneously and some of the group totally sought him out in the crowd. Everyone was so thrilled with his being there and can't stop talking about how great he was. I would recommend him to anyone - corporate event or personal parties as well. read more

I was looking for something special for my son's 12th birthday. Arthur came highly recommended from a friend at the Magic Castle and he managed to surpass our very high expectations. Arthur's magic is highly sophisticated, unique and first rate. He was able to impress and entertain everyone, from the jaded pre teens to the most discriminating adult. Arthur also has a wonderful sense of humor and great personality and his show is infused with a great sense of fun. He was also very professional and easy to work with in booking. A truly magical act. read more
