Illusionists Markus & Angelique Steelgrave Magician from Portland, ME

"Exquisite magic entertainment!" (Caron Engineering, ME) "An exciting mix of magic and humor...among the best to work with and most professional of ensembles...a pure pleasure to have them as part of our lineup." (Schoodic Arts for All, ME) "Magnificent!" (Assembly Theatre, RI) We'll Bring The Magic To You! STAGE MAGIC SHOWS: 30-75 minutes and include magic with live animals, clean comedy, and good-natured audience participation! Larger shows also feature one or more of our stunning "grand illusions". "I couldn't believe what I saw whenever The Steelgraves came onto the stage. They were so fabulous!" (Gloucester County Legal Education Association Fundraiser at Broadway Theatre, Pitman, NJ) "As an event producer for the past 20+ years, I have worked with hundreds of acts and wouldn't hesitate to hire The Steelgraves to entertain any family audience. They are energetic, fun, and go out of their way to make sure everyone has a great time. They treat their audience with respect, present a clean show, and work exceptionally well with other entertainers on the bill, adjusting their show as necessary for maximum impact. If you are looking to add some fun and magic to your event, The Steelgraves are an excellent choice." (Ron Porter, Magical Events, Costa Mesa, CA) CLOSE-UP/STROLLING MAGIC is also a specialty; Markus will delight your guests one-on-one or in small groups. This type of entertainment puts the magic right into the hands of your spectators! It's perfect for Banquets, Hospitality Suites, Project Graduations, Company Parties, Receptions, and other social events. "Thank you! Thank you! We are so grateful to you for lending your incredible talent to our recent York Hospital event....The only complaints I've had from people is that their sides hurt too much from laughing! Our guests were delighted with your extraordinary magical abilities. We all appreciated your sense of humor and it was a pleasure to work with you!" (KC Christensen-Lang, Former Dir. of Development, York Hospital, ME) BALLOON TWISTING is another option; perfect for Grand Openings, Festivals, and other events where you need something fun to entertain the crowd for hours at a time. Both Markus and Angelique are accomplished balloon twisters, so you could hire two twisters for efficient coverage for large crowds. The Steelgraves were the producers of a convention for magicians, Oceanside Magic International (2014-2017), and co-creators and Entertainment Coordinators of the Cape Cod Festival of Magic (2011-2014). Their event-planning experience means they're sensitive and responsive to your needs. We are "real people" and not high-ego prima donna types. Super easy to work with, we don't have a long list of demands; fees are reasonable; we can be counted on not to cancel your show for a "higher paying gig"; we don't "double book" events and leave you in the lurch at the last minute; AND weey can perform almost anywhere, depending on the show you select. Experienced, friendly, and adaptable, we will work with you to create the BEST magical entertainment for your event! "One word: WOW! Markus and Angelique absolutely amazed and astonished us ALL. We booked the show as part of our recent Grandparents Day Event, aiming to please both the residents and their young grandchildren...The Steelgraves did NOT let us down. The show engaged both the young and the young at heart, and I can honestly say my jaw dropped in awe on numerous occasions. I have brought in a number of talented entertainers, but this is the first time I've ever sat right down and enjoyed the whole show because I simply couldn't walk away! Markus and Angelique are wonderful entertainers, and were an absolute delight to work with...great people both on stage and off. We look forward to bringing them back again and again!"
