Wit, charm and stunning sleight-of-hand define the magic of John Guastaferro, a frequent headliner at the world-famous Magic Castle who has thrilled audiences across 12 countries. In November 2025 he returns to the Castle's Close-up Gallery for four shows nightly, presenting close-up work that is both artful and mind-blowing.
John is also an accomplished guitarist, blending Spanish guitar, Flamenco and Jazz, and at The Muckenthaler Cultural Center he gave a 90-minute show of music, magic and stories to a sold-out audience. Strolling magic that happens right under people's noses, a stand-up parlor show with laughs and audience interaction, live guitar or the combined Music + Magic Experience all suit weddings, galas and corporate events. A TEDx speaker and award-winning brand strategist, he also weaves magic into leadership keynotes.
