About Sebastian

Born in Oslo, Norway, Sebastian Gerhardt began performing magic at age seven — captivated by the way Close-Up magic created instant connection. That same passion has taken him from living rooms to boardrooms, with performances for SunTrust, Lockheed Martin, Arris, LG, Wells Fargo, and the Orlando Magic.

He's an award-winning member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, recognized in MagicSeen and MAGIC Magazine, and served as the official magician of the Orlando Magic. After surviving a battle with brain cancer in 2018, Sebastian brings more than tricks to the table — he brings a message: that miracles, when real, can transform people.

"I don't just perform magic. I create moments that make people feel something real." — Sebastian Gerhardt
"I don't perform to deceive. I perform to remind. To bring people back to that place — where the impossible feels possible, and magic feels real."
— Sebastian Gerhardt

What People Say After the Magic Happens

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book?

Popular dates fill quickly — especially Friday and Saturday evenings. I recommend reaching out 4–8 weeks in advance, though I can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines.

What do you need for setup?

Close-up magic requires nothing but your guests. Group shows need a small performance area and a basic sound system. I'll walk you through everything during our consultation.

Do you travel outside Florida?

Absolutely. I perform nationwide and have entertained at events across the country — from New York galas to Silicon Valley corporate retreats.

Is mentalism different from magic?

Mentalism focuses on the mind — thought reading, predictions, and psychological demonstrations. It's magic without props, and it creates a completely different kind of astonishment.

How many guests can you entertain?

From an intimate dinner of 10 to a corporate event of 500+. I'll recommend the right format — close-up, stage show, or a combination — based on your event.

What's included in the consultation?

Every consultation is complimentary. We'll discuss your event vision, guest count, venue, and I'll recommend the perfect experience. No pressure, no obligation.
