Tim was a HIT for our bachelorette trip entertainment.
Charlotte magician · Spirit & bizarre magic, comedy & cons · Ages 18+
Liven up
the party.
Invite the dead.
I'm Timothy Starnes, a Charlotte magician bringing close-up bizarre magic, theatrical séances, con games, and dark comedy to bachelorette parties, adult birthday parties, and other private celebrations where zany adults gather - corporate events, wedding receptions, lounges, nightclubs, bars and breweries.
Let’s be honest. The show is for adults 18+. Your guests have suffered enough small talk. Give them a mystery to argue over on the ride home.
Tell me your date, venue, and guest count. No blood oath required.

An interactive magic show for adults
Close-up magic.
Very loose spirits.
Some people bring wine to a party. I bring things that should have stayed buried.
In my signature comedy séance show, Timothy Starnes & His Many Night Visitors, I mix spirit magic, mind reading, haunted storytelling, and theatrical séance entertainment into a review that covers hundreds of years in séance, spiritualism, and spirit manifestation. Strange objects misbehave, cards refuse to cooperate, and guests become part of the mystery.
Expect an evening that's eerie, funny, and close enough to make perfectly sensible people start blaming the furniture.

The stage is set.
The judgment is questionable.
Watch a little of the live show. Then imagine explaining your evening to someone who wasn't there.

Southern charm.
Dubious associates.
I'm Timothy Starnes, a comedy magician serving the east coast from my home of Charlotte, North Carolina to Bachelorette parties in Asheville, Lake Lure, Myrtle Beach, Savannah, and beyond. I combine close-up magic with the atmosphere of a haunted parlor and the manners of a man who really should know better.
I like my mysteries intimate, my humor dark, and my audiences very much alive. My night visitors are less particular. I can never promise who (or what) will choose to drop in or what they’ll (it’ll) do.
Tell me who's coming to your event. We'll find a performance format and tone that fit. I can work with a room. The spirits remain a management problem.
Until we meet, Timothy
Let's talk about your evening
Is a magician really a good idea for an out-of-town bachelorette party?
Yes. I offer private bachelorette party entertainment for adults 18+, combining close-up magic, dark comedy, and theatrical séances. Send your date, venue, and guest count, along with the tone your group enjoys. We'll discuss a show format that fits your celebration. A photo with me won’t get you in any trouble.
Do you offer birthday party entertainment for adults?
Yes. My adult birthday magic shows are for audiences 18 and up. Tell me about the guest of honor, where you're celebrating, and how many people are coming so we can plan the tone and setup.
Is this magic show for adults?
Yes. Performances are for audiences ages 18 and up, with dark comedy, eerie stories, and audience interaction. Tell me about your crowd and its appetite for the spooky so we can agree on the tone. The children can keep the balloon animals. We've got other problems.
Is the séance a mediumship reading?
No. This is theatrical séance entertainment: magic, storytelling, and comedy presented as a brush with the uncanny. I don't offer direct mediumship readings or promise contact with deceased loved ones. The mystery is part of the show.
What space does close-up magic need? What space does a séance show need?
Intimate shows can work around a table; a bar or venue appearance can use a dedicated performance spot. Tell me your guest count and describe the space, and we'll agree on the setup before booking. A crumbling ancestral mansion is optional.
Do you perform outside Charlotte?
I perform throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia regularly. If your event is farther away, send the city and venue with your inquiry so we can discuss availability, travel, and any related costs. I will travel.
What does it cost to hire a magician usually? What does it cost to hire you?
Your quote depends on the event date, location, performance format, and duration. That’s true for any magician. Call or text with those details to get started. A signed agreement and booking retainer reserve your date; the agreement sets out your payment schedule and event terms. Until then, we're just flirting with the supernatural.
