Meet Magic Matt

Hi, I'm Matt, although thousands of kids across the Phoenix Valley know me as Magic Matt.

My fascination with magic started when I was nine years old, after my parents bought me a souvenir magic book from Disneyland. I learned my first trick when we got home and put on my first show later that year.

More than two decades of professional performing later, I've been crowned a state champion in both close-up and stage magic, a Gold Medal Finalist at the prestigious International Brotherhood of Magicians International Stage Magic Championships, and have appeared on local television and performed for organizations including the Phoenix Symphony, Phoenix Zoo, and Arizona Music Fest.

But awards and credentials aren't really why I do this. I'm still a big kid at heart, and there's nothing I enjoy more than making kids laugh, participate, and experience that same sense of wonder that got me started in magic.
