About Ben Seidman

Award-winning magician Ben Seidman blends psychological magic, stand-up comedy, pickpocketing and world-renowned sleight-of-hand into a show driven as much by fascinating true stories as by impossible moments. He was the only person in history to be named the Resident Magician at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, and holds the Princess Cruises "Entertainer of the Year" award.

Seidman has appeared twice on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, guest-starred on the Netflix series Brainchild produced by Pharrell, and starred in two specials on Travel Channel. He has headlined the Atlantis Resort & Casino in the Bahamas, performed a record-breaking one hundred and twenty shows at The Venetian in Macau, and was featured in two Just For Laughs tours across 23 Canadian cities. He suits conventions and corporate events as a keynote performer, and small private parties just as happily.
