Zach Waldman with Vice President Al Gore, Kristen Gore, and Tipper Gore (Sarah Gore took our picture)

"We've seen a lot of entertainment but Zach is by far the best magician we've ever seen."

             -Vice President Al Gore

Simple booking process (no complicated fee structures, you know exactly what you're getting).

I make your job as easy as possible (immediately after the booking is confirmed, you receive everything you need to promote the show at your school).

A truly original performance (my show includes tons of improv, so no two are exactly alike).

100% Money Back Guarantee (if your students don't love my show, you don't pay a cent).

My show isn't a passive experience (everybody gets involved).

I connect with college audiences and my show is littered with pop culture humor (some comedians haven't changed their acts since the 80's which can leave students scratching their heads).

You know that sick feeling you get when a performer shows up and is nothing like you expected? When I arrive early, looking just like my pictures, and I perform just as advertised, you can relax knowing you got exactly what you were promised.

You'll get your money's worth. My show is an hour long but I'm usually having so much fun it goes longer.

I can accommodate you under all conditions. Problems arise, things happen, but one of your problems WON'T be an entertainer that acts like a prima donna. I'll perform outside, standing in the rain, on top of a rickety desk, all while risking electrocution from the microphone if that's what it takes to make your students happy. Actually, that show sounds awesome.

Of course I do block bookings (more on that soon, keep reading)!

No Road crew, no giant props, and no assistants to manage. My show is the ultimate in "Pack Small and Play Big." I can entertain a group of 50 or 5000 and it will be the same amount of work for you. All of the props I use fit in a case so small I take it on the plane! This means you get a giant show without the giant headaches.

The students want a show that helps them relax, unwind, and have fun. I provide that for the students and I guarantee that working with me will be just as stress free for you.

You will always be in constant communication with me (no wondering if I'm going to show up).

Immediate turnaround on paperwork (all contracts, etc. will be in your hand before you hang up the phone).

Gratuitous, Yet Charming Comedy & Magic

You don't want to be put in a situation where you're apologizing for the entertainment. My show flirts with the edge but is safe enough to watch with your grandma. Now, your grandma would have to be pretty cool to know what the heck I'm talking about, but she certainly wouldn't be offended.

The show is guaranteed to be appropriate for the community standards of your college or university.

There's no risk of embarrassment (you can be confident knowing the show will be suitable for your school).

You call the shots and get what you ask for (no surprises that put you in a compromising position).

Four Reasons to Bring Zach to Your College or University

One: My clients use me again and again. There's one magician I know of that teaches marketing to other magicians. He says, "Don't worry if your act stinks because marketing is so strong that there's enough work to last you a lifetime even if you only work for each of your clients once." Wow, I wonder how his customers would feel if they knew his philosophy. Once you see how easy it is to work with me and how great my show is, I'm sure I'll be back at your college/university year after year.

Two: Some people say they hate magicians. My ex-girlfriend is one of them. Here's the thing. If you see a band that stinks, you don't think all bands are horrible, do you? For some reason, when somebody sees a bad magician, they think ALL magicians are the same. People constantly tell me, "Zach, you changed my mind about magic, I had no idea how cool it could be!" Since I'm both a stand-up comedian and a magician, I also hear the concern people have about the comedy being dirty. Once I perform though, they come up and tell me how relieved they are that the show was appropriate for their audience.

Three: I'm a member of the most prestigious magic associations in the world. I've been a member of the Society of American Magicians for nearly 20 years. I'm a performing magician member of the Academy of Magical Arts, better known as The Magic Castle. Only the best magicians in the world perform at The Magic Castle and I'm honored to be a part of its history.

Four: I provide everything you need to have a successful turn out and a great show. You'll have no problem staying in communication with me, you'll get all of your paperwork returned promptly, you'll get professional promotional materials, you'll get a performer that shows up on time and over delivers a great show the students at your college or university will love. You get all of the credit for hiring a great entertainer and it will be the easiest booking you've ever made.

"We consider you our secret weapon."

Dear Zach,

A note of thanks to you and your staff at CEO for the entertaining assistance you brought to our recruiting season. When asked what most our athletes enjoyed about each recruiting weekend, invariably your magic show was mentioned as a highlight. We truly believe that you played a big role in our most successful recruiting year (ranked #1 nationally) and for that we are most grateful.

We look forward to using your services as often as possible in the future. In the "recruiting wars" of college football, we consider you our secret weapon.

"You had the entire audience engaged and laughing."

Dear Zach:

I wanted to drop you a note and thank you for a wonderful evening of magic and humor. Saturday evening's event was the kick-off of our capital campaign and your presence at the event made it all the more special. I have received numerous compliments from our parents, alumni, and faculty who attended the event regarding your performance. Not only was your magic phenomenal but you did a great job as our auctioneer. You had the entire audience engaged and laughing. I hope that you'll consider returning to Miami Country Day again in the future to perform at another one of our events. You're the BEST!

Regards,

"You added value to our event."

Dear Zach:

Thank you for making our 2002 Toastmasters International District 33 Fall Conference one of the most memorable yet.

Our theme was 'Harvest The Magic,' so it seemed appropriate to have a magician reinforce our message. However, you did more than blend in with our theme. You added value to our event, you were flexible, and you did a great job of accommodating our last minute changes.

I received fantastic and positive comments about your strolling sleight-of-hand magic as well as your stage show for weeks after the event.

You provided us with a unique and special performance that set this conference apart from all others.

I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Sincerely,

Bruce Louie, DTM
Toastmasters International District 33 Governor

"It was a great icebreaker!"

Dear Zach:

We thoroughly enjoyed your performance during cocktail hour for our event this week! You provided a way for people who did not know each other very well laugh and talk with one another; it was a great icebreaker!

Our employees from out of town are still telling me how much they enjoyed your magic and your great personality.

We will certainly consider you any time we have a corporate event.

"Kept us oohing and ahhing, and kept us laughing...Loudly."

Dear Zach,

Thanks so much for entertaining at the holiday luncheon for our office staff. I'll admit I was a bit concerned that our little party of seven in a private restaurant room might be too "intimate" for a magic show, but it was a ball! Your skill and fantastic presentation kept us guessing "how did he do that," kept us oohing and ahhing, and kept us laughing. Loudly. We sure will be recommending you to friends, and I look forward to the next opportunity to enjoy your magic.

Best Regards,

Dr. Jeffrey M. Sage

On behalf of the Royal Order of Jesters I want to personally thank-you and would without reservation recommend you to all groups who want to be entertained by a real professional comedian and magician. You are a true entertainer and I hope to see you again."

Yours very truly,

"Thanks for helping BusinessWeek make a great impression."

Dear Zach,

My image of magic was shattered the night you entertained our BusinessWeek clients. I had no idea how powerful and sophisticated intimate sleight of hand could be.

Booking you added a great touch to our party, and our customers are still talking about how much you added to the "magic" of the evening. Not only did you add a unique, surprise element to the party, but you were also great to work with. From our first contact to the end of the party, you were a consummate professional.

Thanks for helping BusinessWeek make a great impression. Our Clients are already asking about next year!

Best Regards,

Bob Maund

"We have had excellent response from clients."

Mr. Waldman anticipated our needs and represented us in an excellent manner with both current and future clients. His performance as a magician was excellent. More impressive however was that he was able to convey to every client, in a professional manner, that we were the company sponsoring his performance."

We have had excellent response from clients and would recommend Mr. Waldman's services without hesitation.

"All we had to do was tell you where we needed help and you made a crowd appear."

Dear Zach,

Thank you for performing at The Koreatown Plaza.

From our first contact with you to the end of our event, you were a pleasure to do business with. It made hiring you a delight.

Our event was intended to increase foot traffic throughout the mall. Although we had a lot of things happening, there were certain "dead spots" that weren't being reached by the amusements. However, your ability to gather and entertain an audience wherever we sent you solved the problem. All we had to do was tell you where we needed help and you made a crowd appear. I watched a section of the mall go from a ghost town to bustling with customers. It was like magic!

Sincerely,

Mark Choi
President
JES/The Korean Book Center

"You surpassed all our expectations."

Dear Zach:

I would like to thank you again for traveling to our winery recently to do a show for the staff. Everyone really had a great time. You are a very talented comedian, magician, and performer. People continued to talk about your show weeks later. You did an excellent job of adapting to our company's culture and coming up with just the right material for the audience. You surpassed all our expectations and made us very happy!

I hope we have the opportunity to see you perform again in the future. We would certainly recommend you highly to prospective clients."

Warmest regards,

Mark Uhalley, Owner

"You brought us laughter and amazement."

Dear Zach:

You made our recent holiday party more fun just as promised. On top of that, you brought us laughter and amazement. In fact, everyone was buzzing about your magic for days after the party.

You certainly exceeded our expectations!

I know you can't reveal the secrets of your magic tricks but frankly, we were so entertained that we don't even want to know how it's done. One secret I do know however...you're a gifted entertainer.

Thanks again for adding your special magic to our event. I look forward to working with you again and please feel free to use me as a reference for anyone considering your services.

Sincerely,

"We didn't want a stuffy or uncomfortable atmosphere."

Dear Zach,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping make Absolut's "Day at the Races" a success. The day was intended to show our appreciation to some of our key customers. What we didn't want was a stuffy or uncomfortable "hard sell" atmosphere.

The other concern we had while planning the event was that people would become bored during the twenty-minute periods between races. Everyone at the event enjoyed the time you spent entertaining them at their tables. Your mix of magic and comedy kept the atmosphere light and the day moving.

Best of luck with your future endeavors!

Sincerely,

Michael L. Olsker
Regional Marketing Director
Absolut Spirits Company

"I was a little hesitant about having a magician/comedian."

Dear Zach,

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and to thank you for a wonderful performance at our company Christmas party. It is our goal to entertain our employees at out annual get together. I must admit I was a little hesitant about having a magician/comedian, was I ever surprised. You read each and everyone just right. Besides being an incredible magician I felt your comedy was extremely funny and tasteful at the right moments. Our employees are still commenting on how entertaining the evening was. We are looking forward to having you entertain our employees at our next annual gathering. We hope you will be available. May you have a prosperous New Year!

Respectfully,

Michael Perilman
President

"Everyone I've spoken with loved your magic, as well as your comedy."

Dear Zach,

I wanted to take a minute to write and thank you for your efforts in turning our holiday party into a wonderfully entertaining event. Everyone I've spoken with loved your magic, as well as your comedy. You did a great job of connecting with our group, and, like the consummate entertainer, left everyone wanting more.

You turned what could have been a mundane company dinner into a memorable evening filled with wonder and no shortage of laughter. Thank you for bringing your gift to CSC Consulting.

Best Wishes,

"Both your humor and shows were clever and tasteful."

Dear Zach,

Thank you very much for a thoroughly memorable performance at our company's annual holiday dinner party. Your close up sleight of hand performances as well as your show were highly complimented by our guests, and I have since overheard many a conversation throughout the rest of the evening (and into this morning at the office!) speculating how it was done. There were some theories, but they never encompassed the trick in its entirety, and most left the party pleasantly frustrated at not having been able to figure it out.

As for myself, I don't want to know - I'd rather just believe in magic.

Both your humor and shows were clever and tasteful (not to mention your suit!), and left the guests all smiles and ready for the dance floor. I have no reservations about recommending your talents to anyone in need of stylish, professional entertainment for their gathering, whether corporate, family, or otherwise. Please feel free to give out my office number, should any of your potential clients prefer a verbal recommendation. You were an essential element in making our event an entertaining and successful one, and we all look forward to having you with us again next year.

I hope the rest of this year and the New Year to follow are full of laughs as good as the ones you gave us! Thank you again, and Happy Holidays!

Best Regards,

Jamee Devlin

"Zach is an asset to any organization."

Dears Sirs,

Please allow this letter to serve as my professional referral of Zachary Waldman. Zach has worked for me here at my restaurant for over a year now and during that time, my team and my guests have come to respect him as a talented magicians and an incredible guest advocate. His style is laid back and does not come across as pushy to the guest. He is very funny and our guests enjoy his visits to the table. I have on many occasions fielded compliments from my guests on Zach's behalf. He is a great guy that works for the house. He is open minded and receptive to new ideas, and more than once has stayed on later than his shift because we were busy and he knew he could impact the guest experience. Zach is friendly and professional and this comes across on every shift.

I know that when Zach is on the floor, my guests will have more fun. He is an asset to any organization. Please feel free to contact me at any of the enclosed media if you require more information.

Sincerely,

"He was not only charismatic but funny as well."

To Whom It May Concern:

This serves as a letter of reference for magician Zach Waldman who recently worked as a performer at the JAKKS Pacific 10th Annual Holiday Party in January 2005. Zach was hired by JAKKS as a strolling magician to entertain over 400 people.

Zach demonstrated throughout the course of the night wonderful skills as a magician as he captivated the audience with his performance. He was not only charismatic but funny as well. He followed direction well and had a great attitude. It was his enthusiasm and skill however, that make Zach stand out so clearly in my mind as a wonderful addition to our evening.

I would definitely recommend him for any party!

Sincerely,

Genna Rosenberg
Vice President of Corporate Communications

"It was great to relax and be entertained by your comedy and magic show."

Dear Zach,

Thank you for making Horny Toad's national sales meeting a huge success.

After a day full of meetings it was great to relax and be entertained by your comedy and magic show. All of the employees commented on how much fun they had for weeks to follow.

Aside from being great entertainment, the break you provided helped to reenergize the staff. We had another day of work ahead of us and your show provided extra motivation to keep plugging away.

You definitely made our meeting special and I wouldn't hesitate to use you at future conferences and tradeshows.

Regards,

Gordon Seabury
CEO, Horny Toad Inc.

"I enthusiastically recommend Zach to anyone looking for a first class performer!"

To Whom It May Concern:

I asked Zach to perform at my law firm's 2005 Holiday Party. His performance captivated an audience of approximately 100 guests for about an hour.

Above and beyond that was that Zach showed the utmost professionalism at all times and was a pleasure to work with in scheduling our event.

I enthusiastically recommend Zach to anyone looking for a first class performer!

"Your creative magic and engaging personality really lent to a memorable experience for everyone."

Dear Zach:

Thank you for entertaining our guests at the Anheuser-Busch bartender's event on June 12, 2006. Your creative magic and engaging personality really lent to a memorable experience for everyone. Thanks again and I look forward to working with you again in the near future.

"You had a great stage presence and act considering the space limitations within the tradeshow booth."

Hi Zach,

Thank you for your wonderful display of magic and showmanship at our recent industry trade show. The tricks were great, but the way you intertwined our message and product was even better.

You had a great stage presence and act considering the space limitations within the tradeshow booth. I appreciate your good work and look forward to working with you again in the future.

If you need a reference, please don't hesitate to contact me personally. Thank you very much for your time and help with promoting our product and our message.

Warmest Regards,

Winslow Chou

I'm always on time and ready to perform (you don't want a performer that makes you wait nervously).

Booking me is easy (you'll get the show you expect without any hidden surprises).

You have a partner in promotion (immediately after hiring me, you get professional promo materials so you aren't up all night trying to make your own posters, flyers, etc.)

My show is hilarious and original (don't worry, students won't say they've seen a show like mine before.)

I'm easy to reach, my cell phone number is 310-922-6244. If you call it, you won't get my agent or manager, you'll get me. If something comes up and you need me, you don't have to go through a million people or voice mail systems.

Your college or university's community standards will be respected (why risk getting in trouble by hiring an inappropriate performer).

Block bookings are available. I've performed for celebrities and corporations all over the country, but you can get me much cheaper and save your school money in the process.

My show is GUARANTEED! I've never had to give a refund. Why risk hiring entertainment that can't make the same promise?

Who Do You Want Performing at Your College or University?

I want to make one thing very clear. I love my fellow entertainers. From the face painter at a kids party to the jazz trio at a wedding, I have an enormous amount of respect for all artists.

As artists, we're all very different. However, there is ONE thing that's universally true with entertainers that's separate from art. The higher the fee the entertainer commands, the better the show is.

If a comedy-magician in the college market is only asking $1,000.00 for a show, he must think that's all his show is worth, and he might be right!

I'm not bragging, but when corporations hire me to perform at their events, my fee is $25,000.00 a day. Companies are willing to pay me such a high fee because I deliver exactly what I promise. Actually, that's a lie. I consistently over-deliver for my clients. They know when they hire me, I'm going to go the extra mile for them and give them a fantastic show.

If you read my testimonial letters and saw the celebrities I've worked for, you know I perform nationally for the most demanding clients in the most competitive markets.

I live in Los Angeles and there's a lot of talented comedians and magicians here. When celebrities and the movers and shakers want to be entertained, they call me.

When clients want me to perform walk-around sleight of hand magic, I charge $1,500.00 an hour; and that's for a local event! If they want me to do an actual show, my fee (locally) is $4,500.00 for a 45 minute stand-up comedy magic show.

So, if you're looking for the cheapest comedian or magician to come to your college or university, I'm not your guy. That being said, if you want the BEST entertainment for your dollar, you're in luck!

First of all, my college/university show is an hour long (15 minutes longer than my local show).

Second, my isolated fee for performing at your college/university is $3,500.00, a full $1,000.00 cheaper than what I charge locally!

So, here's your simple rate card:

Side splitting one hour stand-up comedy and magic show: Isolated - $3,500.00
                                                                                                                 2 of 3     - $3,000.00
                                                                                                                 3 of 5     - $2,600.00
                                                                                                                 5 of 7     - $2,300.00
                                                                                                

                                                                                     

Ironclad, You-Can't-Lose-Money-Back-Guarantee

Because I'm so confident you're going to love my show, I'm willing to extend an ironclad, 100%, you-can't-lose money-back guarantee. Book me today. If you aren't 500% thrilled and more, I don't want your money. If you aren't satisfied with the performance just let me know and I'll refund every dime of your money. Fair enough? The only reason I can do this is because I'm supremely confident you're going to love working with me and use me again and again. You won't see many performers or agencies giving this kind of guarantee.

How to Book Zach Waldman for your College or University

Pick up the phone right now and dial 310-922-6244, send an email to: zach@zachwaldman.com or fill out the booking request form below.

I can overnight promotional packages to you. Also, if you'd like to speak with any of my clients I can put you in touch with them. Many of my happy customers actually "sell" a lot of my shows for me, that's how great my performance is.

I look forward to traveling to your college or university and providing your school with a lot of fun.

Regards,

Zach Waldman

P.S. - Would you like an even bigger show? In addition to my stand-up comedy and magic show, I perform a show with legendary sax player, Stan Waldman, better known as One Night Stan. It's called S & M, Sax and Magic. Not only does Stan provide a live musical soundtrack to the show, he's also an accomplished magician. Stan is a graduate of the University of Miami music program and has toured the country playing with and opening for some of the best bands in the world. The Sax and Magic Show incorporates comedy, magic, mind-reading, and live music! If you're interested in this show, call me and I'll give you the details.
