Performing with Purpose:
my journey so far
I grew up in Jasper, Alberta, and moved to the Okanagan in 2016. I first became a wine tour guide, driving around groups of people to wineries, showing them magic all throughout the day. I went full-time in 2021 and haven’t looked back.
It is my passion, my career and my life to perform. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to do what I do, and want to extend a sincere thank you to every single person who has allowed me to perform magic for them. You are the reason I get to do what I love. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I cannot wait to see what the future holds. Currently, I am performing at Crown and Thieves Winery in West Kelowna every 4 times a month, with over 100 consecutive sold-out stage shows. I am also traveling across Canada performing at corporate events, company parties and private gatherings.
Magic is such an amazing thing. It can cross any age barrier or language barrier. All you need to know is that what’s happening is impossible and you can create a moment that someone will remember for the rest of their lives. I feel so blessed and will continue to hone my craft, my skill set and make sure you have the most magical experience I can possibly give you. Thank you.What Makes Ryan’s Magic Different?
In a world full of entertainment options, Ryan offers something truly unique: a show that connects. Every performance — whether it's intimate close-up magic at a private event or a high-impact illusion on a corporate stage — is designed to engage, surprise, and leave people wondering, “How did he do that?”
Unlike many performers who rely on flash over substance, Ryan focuses on audience connection. As a seasoned mentalist, he thrives on reading the room, tailoring his performance to the moment, and creating a personalized experience that feels spontaneous, relevant and completely impossible.
His blend of mentalism, mind reading and sleight-of-hand appeals to a wide range of guests. Ryan’s shows strike a rare balance between sophistication and fun, making them the ideal party entertainment or corporate event experience.
Behind the Scenes:
A Life in Magic
What audiences see on stage is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind every performance is hours of practice, scripting, and psychological design. Ryan is constantly refining his material to stay at the forefront of modern magic shows and mentalism.
From designing interactive routines that draw in audience members to rehearsing the smallest details of body language, timing, and suggestion, Ryan’s work is a true masterclass in detail and discipline.
He’s performed in bustling banquet halls, intimate lounges, high-tech corporate boardrooms, and even outdoors at waterfront festivals, adapting his setup, flow, and style to every type of event. His work ethic and dedication have earned him a reputation as one of the top mentalists and magicians in Toronto and Western Canada.
Some of his most rewarding experiences include surprising CEOs with personalized predictions, helping wallflowers feel seen during team-building activities, and making people truly believe in magic again.Who Ryan Works With
