Why I Love Performing Holiday Magic Shows in Virginia
The holiday season has always been one of my absolute favorite times of the year to perform. There’s something special about December — the decorations, the energy, the sense of togetherness — that makes magic feel even more… well, magical. Whether I’m performing at a resort, a cozy family gathering, or a large corporate party, bringing my show to holiday events truly brings everything full circle.
Holiday Magic in Richmond, VA
Richmond has a charm all its own during the holidays. From beautifully lit venues to festive corporate celebrations, the city creates the perfect backdrop for magic. I love performing close-up magic during cocktail hours and bringing out the larger illusions when companies want to make their holiday party unforgettable. Every year I meet new families, new businesses, and new fans — and Richmond has become one of the places I look forward to returning to the most.
Charlottesville Christmas & Holiday Events
Charlottesville is a place where tradition and celebration blend together seamlessly. I’ve performed at vineyards, resorts, and private homes throughout the area, and the reactions are always amazing. Watching families — sometimes three generations together — share laughter and wonder during the busiest time of year is something I never get tired of. The holiday season is all about connection, and magic helps spark those moments instantly.
Northern Virginia Holiday Parties & Corporate Events
Northern Virginia is always buzzing with activity, especially in December. I love being part of that excitement. Corporate holiday parties, end-of-year celebrations, and family-friendly events are all perfect settings for my mix of close-up magic, stage illusions, and family-friendly entertainment. NOVA audiences bring incredible energy, and I try to match it every time I step on stage.
Why Holiday Shows Mean So Much to Me
The truth is, holiday magic events remind me why I started doing this in the first place. People are already in great spirits, families come together, coworkers celebrate their accomplishments, and kids are filled with anticipation. Magic enhances all of that.
Whether I’m making doves appear for a room full of kids, performing illusions for a company reward party, or moving from table to table at a resort doing close-up magic, I feel honored to be a part of moments people will remember long after the holidays are over.

My Vit Hit commercial with bloopers
This video is from 9 years ago. I worked with Pepsi and Vit Hit for 5 years promoting Vit Hit. This is a magic trick I came up with and I think it turned out ok but I could do much better nowadays. In magic videos the fails are always left on the cutting room floor but I think they make this video even better. Enjoy!!!

Why Hiring a Wedding Magician Makes Your Wedding Unforgettable
When couples plan their wedding, they spend countless hours choosing the perfect venue, photographer, DJ, food, and décor. But one detail that can take your celebration from “beautiful” to unforgettable is the entertainment — and more specifically, hiring a professional wedding magician.
I’m Wes Iseli, a full-time magician and illusionist who performs at weddings across the entire East Coast — and beyond for couples who want world-class entertainment on their big day. For nearly 30 years, I’ve been helping brides, grooms, and their guests experience moments of wonder during the most important day of their lives.
Here’s how magic elevates your wedding day and why so many couples hire me for their celebration.
⭐ Close-Up Magic for Your Wedding Welcome Party
Many East Coast weddings begin with a welcome party to bring everyone together the night before. This is one of the best places for close-up wedding magic.
Guests who have never met immediately loosen up, laugh, and connect through shared amazement. Magic is the ultimate icebreaker, making guests feel comfortable and energized for the weekend ahead.
⭐ A Stand-Up Magic Show During Dinner (So the Bride & Groom Can Actually Eat!)
If you’ve ever attended a wedding — or been in one — you know the bride and groom rarely get to sit down and eat. They’re constantly being approached for congratulations, photos, and conversations.
Couples hire me to perform a stand-up magic show during dinner specifically to give the newlyweds a chance to enjoy their first meal together without interruption.
Guests are entertained.
The couple gets a peaceful moment.
The evening flows beautifully.
⭐ Close-Up Magic During Wedding Photos — The #1 Most Requested Service
After the ceremony, the couple usually disappears for 45–90 minutes of photos. This creates a long, awkward gap where guests are left waiting — especially if they don't know many people.
This is where close-up reception magic shines.
I move from group to group, visit tables, and perform professional magic that keeps energy high and creates connections. Guests start talking, laughing, and bonding — all while the couple is finishing their photos without feeling rushed.
This is the most popular wedding service I offer because it instantly transforms downtime into unforgettable entertainment.
⭐ Why a Wedding Magician Makes Your Day Truly Magical
Every wedding is beautiful — but magic adds something unique:
-
It’s interactive
-
It’s personal
-
It’s memorable
-
It’s perfect for guests of all ages
-
It fills awkward time gaps seamlessly
-
It creates natural conversation
-
It adds excitement to the entire celebration
A wedding is already magical…
