  • Jon entertained with his many incredible talents! Everyone was mind blown with Jon’s predictions! They are a tough crowd, and Jon was incredibly patient throughout.

    Received lots of good feedback after the call and everyone had a good time.

    Thought I would share some feedback from the family. “Jon Finch...brilliant. he wasnt fazed with us. Kept a steady cadence. It was amazing...I mean how the heck did he know Anya's page 42 and innkeeper????” “Sheena the entire session was new very creative in your part of inviting Jon - even at my age I am blown away ! He kept the diverse age group entertained and engaged ! Brilliant !

  • One Firefly

    Ron Callis, CEO

    We invited Jon to perform for our team via a ZOOM call this past week and he did not disappoint. We were all mystified by his entire routine.

    His performance is more than just magic tricks or "reading your mind".

    He masterfully engages the audience with a dry and unique manner that has everyone on the edge of their site from beginning to end.

    If you are looking for a fun way to engage your team and have a fun distraction from the normal day to day, then hire Jon Finch and sit back and be entertained.

  • We hired Jon for a company bonding experience over Webex and with magic tricks taking place over Webex - I was very skeptical at first but Jon blew my mind! He was incredible, everyone loved him and I enjoyed his dry sense of humor.

  • WilmerHale

    Judd Abramson

    That's..... Impossible.... The depth of Jon’s skills became clear after we compared notes later.

    The show was incredible and had my guests laughing out loud and trying to figure out how he knew.

    I loved it, was the perfect fit! Absolutely great. That was SUCH a fun event and now I totally believe in magic.

  • That was an Amazing show!! The whole team was "flabbergasted” (using their own terms)…

    It will be something our team will remember for a loooong time. Our team has been saying things like “Unbelievable! Do you believe it?” and “jaw dropping.”

    And we've had many team building events both on site and virtual. This was the best!

Rather than hosting a spectator sport with your people folding their arms spectating nearby, you can brighten the atmosphere using magic, interactive mind reading, and serious fun!

A professional magician since 2001, Finch has been creating unforgettable moments for top companies in Long Island City and beyond. With comedy, magic, and mind reading, Finch delivers extraordinary experiences tailored to your corporate event.

This magical service makes the fantastic real and transforms an ordinary virtual event in Long Island City into an extraordinary event, wherever your audience happens to celebrate.
