MASTER ILLUSIONIST / SLEIGHT OF HAND ARTIST / STORYTELLER
Hailing from the Popular Vacation Destination Sacramento and a proud alumnus of UC Santa Barbara, the incantation “Kevin Blake” is a spell cast that announces to the world the arrival of a magician unlike anything the twenty-first century has ever seen.
Kevin’s craft blends magic, storytelling, comedy, and illusion, culminating in a genre-defying performance that has garnered critical acclaim and a legion of followers. His sell-out live shows, including ‘The Illusionist at the Palace Theater’, ‘Wonder Show’, and ‘Falsehoods and Fairytales’, have grossed over $2.5 million in ticket sales, captivating tens of thousands of guests.
Kevin Blake’s accolades include appearances on AGT and Penn & Teller: Fool Us, as well as news spots on NBC and ABC. Beyond the theater, Kevin Blake has performed at over 1,000 corporate events worldwide.
Kevin’s early foray into magic was fueled by a mix of inspirations — from David Blaine’s ‘Street Magic’ to the psychological intricacies of Derren Brown, to Penn & Teller and David Copperfield. His influences have shaped his approach to magic and inspired him to make his own small mark on the art form. His favorite illusions, ranging from an impossible dice routine to a mind-reading act that involves the entire audience, showcase his ability to craft experiences both new and unbelievable.
Before his foray into magic, Kevin was a wizard in the water – a former competitive swimmer who competed at the Olympic Trials in 2012 and 2016, placing 50th in the 50 freestyle. When not captivating audiences or devising new ways to defy reality, he re-reads the same 6 books over and over again next to his lovely wife Eve, beautiful son Heath, and his adorable cat LuLu in their home in Russian Hill, San Francisco.
