About Me
MY nickname is hubb
How does someone get a nickname like HUBB? It’s actually an interesting story that can only be told in person. I believe being social and fun is the foundation to unforgettable magic. My goal is to create a memorable experience every time I meet someone and show them magic. I’ve performed for thousands of people from all over the world and love showing people magic they will never forget..
Bar activations with intention
HUBB built his craft in real bars and social rooms reading a crowd, earning attention without demanding it, and delivering sleight of hand that holds sophisticated guests. That same approach powers Beer & Magic and Enchanted Escape, and it translates cleanly to corporate hospitality: higher energy at the bar, warmer introductions across the room, and an activation that elevates the evening instead of competing with it.

Experiences people remember
From Amazon, Meta, and Universal Studios to boutique executive dinners, HUBB is brought in when planners need more than background entertainment — they need engagement. Close-up sleight of hand works in boardrooms, hotel suites, rooftop lounges, and private dining. Bar magic elevates VIP receptions and hospitality bars where conversation and astonishment should move together.
Whether the goal is warmer networking, longer dwell in a hospitality suite, or a signature moment for key clients, the experience is tailored to your guests, your brand, and the flow of the evening.
Weddings & private celebrations
For cocktail-hour walkaround and intimate close-up, HUBB brings the same polish corporate clients expect — including a signature moment reserved for the couple.
Private & exclusive gatherings
From private clubs to invitation-only evenings, HUBB adapts to the room. If the guest list is selective, the experience should feel that way too.
