About Mark Collier

Mark Collier has been delighting his audiences professionally for over 20 years. He has performed in such countries as Japan, Tahiti, Italy, France and Holland. He is a familiar and welcome sight at many of the exclusive parties held in the Santa Barbara area.

His hilarious, irreverent, tongue-in-cheek style of self-deprecating comedy contrasts with his surprising skill as a sleight-of-hand artist and accomplished juggler.

One of the things that make Mark Collier so successful is his universal appeal. He has a unique ability to have fun without making fun. Everybody has a good time. More often than not, Mark is the butt of his own jokes. At times, he may appear hopelessly lost and then pull off the most improbable miracle. He leaves the audience delighted, ecstatic, and laughing.

What’s the best thing about magic?

“The Delight! Magic can rock your world in a way few other art forms can. People need to have their universe turned upside down once in a while. There is an unpredictable element. Some people are uncomfortable with it but sometimes it can seem like real magic even to me! How many artforms can make the hair stand-up on the back of your head? People need to be astonished. Life can become so predictable. It is rare to see something that you have never seen or anticipated before. Magic can do that.”

Award Winning Close-up Magic

Magician Mark Collier is an expert at mingling with your guests performing his award-winning close-up magic, or on stage with his hilarious magic/juggling/comedy show. You will hear the room come to life with excited laughter and gasps of amazement.

Mark’s expertise as a world class sleight-of-hand artist with cards, coins and a variety of unexpected objects is matched only by his skills as an entertainer.

Close-up Magic

Mark Collier is highly adept at the demanding, interactive art of walk-around magic. His very likeable and comfortable character endears him to the guests while he blind-sides them with unbelievable magic. His sleight-of-hand is superb. You laugh at him for not finding your card only to find it under your drink, or in his pocket, or in your own pocket.

Stage Show

Mark Collier also has a wonderful stage act that can play to the whole room. This is a brilliant combination of magic, juggling and comedy. He uses volunteers from the audience to juggle hats. He performs inexplicable magic in a very unassuming way. He is oftentimes just as surprised at his miracles as the audience. He magically produces a bowling ball and then juggles it. And just when you think the signed card is hopelessly lost after several hilarious but failed attempts to find it, the signed card is found to be inside a corked and sealed bottle of wine which is then given to the audience member as a souvenir! Mark has had several well-known magicians offer to pay for the rights to present this but Mark is holding on to it exclusively for now.

Mark Collier is an extremely versatile performer that can help make your event successful in many ways. Please don’t hesitate to contact him directly if you have any questions or would like to hear more of the creative ways in which he will work with you to help make your event a seamless, resounding success!
