Hi and welcome. My name is Rob Mendell.

For over 50 years, I've entertained people with interactive close-up magic, primarily using playing cards. Since 2005, I've been officially licensed as a Street Performer in Chicago. I work at all kinds of events and gatherings: corporate, public, private, and educational. I love what I do.

My unique repertoire includes a pleasing and strong variety of effects I've simplified, expanded, created, mashed, and honed for decades. I continue to explore the art, theory, practice, and science of interactive close-up card magic to bring wonder to contemporary audiences through live performance.
