About The Great Kaplan

A headliner at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, The Great Kaplan has appeared on the French television show Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde and performed as a guest at FISM in Italy, the world's largest magic festival.

Billed as a modern-day vaudevillian master, he combines eccentric magic, juggling, music and impeccable comedic timing into a hilarious ballet of chaos and calamity, a show in which everyday objects become vessels of mystery and mayhem. The Delaware Cape Gazette found the laughter contagious and the fun effervescent, while Vanish Magazine called the act highly original and funny. Actor and magician Todd Robbins names it one of his favourite acts in the world of magic and variety, and audiences leave astounded and in a state of child-like wonder.
