What Exactly Is Roving Magic?

Roving magic (also called strolling, walk-around or roaming magic) is close-up entertainment delivered in small bursts as the magician moves from group to group. Instead of everyone watching one big stage, your guests experience TV-style miracles inches from their eyes – cards transform in their hands, borrowed phones predict impossible outcomes, and thoughts are read with scary accuracy.

Hi, I’m Cameron Leo, a Sydney-based corporate magician and mentalist. If you’ve hit Google with “magician Sydney,” “mentalist hire,” or “magician near me,” you’re in the right place.

After years in law-enforcement investigations—where reading people was life-saving—I swapped the badge for a deck of cards and a stage mic. Today I bring psychological magic to boardrooms, rooftop bars and ballroom galas from Surry Hills to Chatswood, Parramatta and the Northern Beaches.

• Main-Stage Spotlight – 40 to 50 minutes of interactive mentalism that brings the whole room together. (corporate mentalist)

• After-Dinner Recharge – A high-energy burst post-dessert that keeps guests around for the awards. (mentalist for work party)
