Bio

Ben Seidman does real magic.

Amongst his many TV credits, Ben guest-starred on the Netflix series Brainchild, produced by Pharrell, and starred in both Vanity Fair and WIRED’s “Experts React” series, discussing magic, sleight of hand, and pickpocketing. Additionally, Ben appeared on the Vanderpump Rules Season 9 premiere, starred in two specials on Travel Channel, and appeared twice on Penn & Teller: Fool Us.

While known for large events, Ben also creates amazement at small private parties, including performances for Christina Aguilera, Aubrey Plaza, and Zedd. He has dazzled CEOs, Senators, and the late-great Robin Williams.

Seidman was the only person in history to be named the Resident Magician at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. He was awarded the Princess Cruises “Entertainer of the Year” award, and consulted on three seasons of Mindfreak on A&E, designing illusions for Criss Angel. Ben taught magic to Johnny Knoxville and consulted on multiple feature films in the Jackass franchise. Internationally, he wrote and directed magic for SVT, the biggest TV channel in Sweden.

Ben has headlined the Atlantis Resort & Casino (Bahamas), The Royalton Riviera (Cancun), and performed a record-breaking one hundred and twenty shows at The Venetian, (Macau China). Clients have flown him as far as Doha, Qatar for private and corporate events. He was also featured in two Just For Laughs tours spanning 23 cities across Canada, and appears in a feature film documenting the tour.

Ben lives in Los Angeles with his wife Sarah and his dog Juno.
