WALK-AROUND CLOSE-UP COMEDY MAGIC
Dressed in a tuxedo or "theme" costume, Brad performs mind-boggling comedy magic inches away from the eyes of your guests while strolling from table to table or group to group during social hour, special event, private party, trade show booth, or at a "hospitality suite." Brad performs sleight-of-hand with various objects, such as cards, coins, and currency, and borrows (and returns!) articles from multiple audience members. In today's "high-tech" world, most people have only experienced a magician on television or YouTube! A live in-person interaction with a magician is a unique "high touch," immersive, memorable experience. This performance option is perfect as an ice-breaker, conversation starter, or a prelude to the banquet mentioned above show. There are no "technical requirements" or set-up time involved. However, to get the most value for your dollar, Brad requests that you refrain from having him perform while loud music is playing. Brad can reach approximately 50-75 people per hour of serving time. *Walkaround magic fees are 1/2 price when booking the "Banquet Show" described above.
Thanks for making our hospitality suite the "hit" of the convention. Your contributions were outstanding...I have had many compliments on the professional manner in which you presented your magic and your interaction with our customers.
–– GLENN B. CRANE, STROMBERG-CARLSON
"THE RIVERBOAT GAMBLER"
Brad performs cons, cheats, and swindles for the amusement of the spectators with cards, coins, chips, dice, an endless loop of chains, and other gambling devices. Attired in "Old West" garb, this is the perfect addition to any Western theme party, cowboy steak fry, or 'Old West' casino night. Brad can perform this particular type of fun comedy and close-up magic while strolling among the guests, table to table, group to group, or at a stationary location. Once again, there are no special technical requirements or set-up time to be considered, but for your guest's benefit, Brad asks for there to be no loud music playing.
Our guests for the evening were physicians and other medical professionals - not the most accessible group to impress. I only wish I could begin to find the proper adjectives to describe the fantastic, delightful, hilarious, thoroughly professional show that Brad Zinn treated us to. Brad tailored his routines and humor to our audience for that extra little touch of class. The only problem you will have using Brad Zinn for your entertainment is figuring out how to top his show for your following function! Feel free to call me for more information, but be prepared for unbelievable adulation.

–– PAM ABBOTT, DIRECTOR OF SALES, IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCTIONS, INC.

Even though he had never met the honoree or any of the guests beforehand, he immediately captivated not only the attention of the honoree but the audience as well with his humor and mime - not to mention his magical tricks! He is to be congratulated for an outstanding performance. The result was an evening enjoyed by all.

The adults will enjoy the show as much as the kids. However, the Children's Comedy Magic of Brad Zinn is not recommended for children under five.
Brad and his wife, Kuddles the Klown, entertained me at my granddaughter's 7th birthday party yesterday. The kids loved them both. The children were just the right age for magic - they want to believe, yet they are skeptical. More than once, I heard one exclaim, "How did he do that!?" By enlisting several kids to act as assistants. he made the experience memorable for everyone watching. The act was appreciated by the adults, too, with many laugh-out-loud jokes.
