Sophisticated, never cheesy
No capes, no doves, no drumrolls. Clean card work and a straight face.
About Kevin Haggard
A CFO who kept a deck of cards in his desk drawer.
Two careers, one skill set: reading a room and knowing exactly when to stop talking.
The story
Kevin Haggard is a close-up magician specializing in elegant, modern card magic for corporate events and private gatherings.
The style is interactive and sophisticated — clean sleight of hand, smart structure, and a warm, dry sense of humor that keeps things fun without ever hijacking the room. It started at the age of four with a deck of cards, and no more sensible hobby ever took its place.
Before devoting himself fully to performance, Kevin spent years as a CFO in Corporate America. That experience shows up in the best way: he reads rooms quickly, understands professional dynamics, and knows how to complement an event's purpose — client connection, team celebration, or a high-touch experience for VIP guests.
Based in Houston, Texas, and travelling for select engagements. The magic is ideal for cocktail hours, dinners, hospitality suites, and events where you want guests to feel genuinely engaged — memorable, photo-friendly, and tailored to the flow of your evening.

The vibe
Fluent in corporate
If your event has objectives, a run of show, and someone who needs the product mentioned — I've been on that side of the table.
Easy to plan around
No stage, no sound system, no setup window. I work the room and stay out of the caterer's way.
Nobody gets embarrassed
The joke is always on me. Your guests are the ones who look clever.
