About Robert Malissa

Award-winning magician Robert Malissa performs both a comedy magic show and walk-around sleight of hand, slipping between colorful characters — from the "world's greatest fake mind reader" to a gambling hustler — while championing the art of deception and human connection.

Malissa also founded Philly Magic Tours, whose "The Great Comedy Magic Walking Tour" turns historic and offbeat Philadelphia locations into jaw-dropping magic for corporate, school and sports groups. His close-up magic drew gasps and laughter at the 2025 American Bus Association Marketplace, and hometown shows at the Arden Theater's Hamilton Family Arts Center on July 2nd and 3rd salute Philadelphia's 250th birthday celebration before he heads to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. He is equally at home at corporate meetings, cocktail hours and private events.
