Professional, Convenient, Unforgettable
What makes a perfect party magic show
Professional
Makoto Halverson has a decade of professional experience performing magic all around the country. He has done thousands of shows for a wide range of clients, from exclusive Hollywood clubs and corporate mixers to anniversaries, haunted houses, and birthday parties.
Since late 2016, he has been regularly serving the Los Angeles, Orange County, and the San Gabriel Valley areas. Driven by his passion for magic, he delivers excellent, engaging entertainment wherever he performs. His Back Yard Magic Show brings world class magical entertainment to your house party! |
Convenient
With his background as a street, festival, and fair performer, Makoto has developed an act that can be set up and broken down in seconds. Whatever space you have available, Makoto can be ready to start his show within minutes.
There's no need to set up a stage, banner, back drop, or sound system. This means 1) more space for more guests or services 2) less stress figuring out how to fit the show into your party and 3) when the show is over, the props and table can vanish in a flash, letting the party continue seamlessly. |
Unforgettable
Makoto has been studying magic since he was in grade school. He specialized in fast paced, comedy street magic, and changed his finale regularly while street performing around the country. Over the years and countless shows, he formed an act made of magic that could independently close shows. "All killer, no filler," as a fan of his once commented.
Since then, he has organized his repertoire into shows that suit various venues. The Back Yard Magic Show is jam packed full of the most surprising and wonderful magic Makoto has learned— ranging from close-up magic happening in people's hands to stand up magic that brings the house down at clubs and formal shows. |
Reviews and Testimonials
You got serious skills. It was a pleasure and honor watching you work

An absolutely Fantastic Magical Performer!!! This guy is Amazing!
— Mickey Silver, "The Hands of Las Vegas"
He makes cards disappear and end up in his shoe. He makes small rubber balls vanish and then takes them out of his mouth. He balances coins on the tip of each of his fingers making the shape of a flower. His tricks are the best I have ever seen a street performer do. — Shirin Jaafari, reporter for PRI
I've known Makoto now for a few years. I first met him about 4 years back during one of his street performance shows. I was blown away at his magic, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He was so good at his craft and really funny while doing it, he left a lasting impression and I couldn't wait to see him again. I saw him perform one more time and was convinced that I wanted him to play a private show one day. Long story short!! I hired him to perform for my family and as usual, KILLED IT!!! It was a great show!!! My family really enjoyed his material. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again!!! Definitely worth it! To top everything off, Makoto is one of the nicest person I've ever met. Thanks Makoto!!!!
