Shock Illusionist Dan Sperry: The Anti-Conjuror is a world-renowned performer whose signature fusion of strange magic and hilarious mayhem has captivated audiences across the globe. Beginning his career as a teen, Sperry quickly stood out from his peers, winning national magic awards in Las Vegas and becoming one of the youngest magicians ever invited to headline a full week at the members-only famed Magic Castle in Hollywood with exclusive performances for famed guests such as Judge Judy, Heidi Fleiss and a special show for Johnny Depp’s children’s birthday party. By the age of 21, he had already established himself as a standout talent, regularly flown into Las Vegas as a special guest act in casino showrooms while touring colleges across the USA and slowly gaining a cult following for his edgy, original style.

​

Sperry’s career skyrocketed with his breakout television appearance on America’s Got Talent, shocking millions of viewers as the first act to ever approach the judges desk, freaking out Howie Mandel while causing the remaining judges to burst into uncontrolled laughter, and launching him into mainstream fame. He went on to make further memorable TV appearances on shows such as The Today Show, Cake Boss, and star in 11 consecutive seasons of The CW’s Masters of Illusion, while also headlining his own off-Broadway show in Times Square and selling out theaters on multiple international tours across Europe, Mexico, Canada and the USA. A founding cast member of the global touring phenomenon The Illusionists, Sperry performed to standing ovations around the world for five years, including The Sydney Opera House, The Kennedy Center, and two blockbuster seasons on Broadway, where the show became the best-selling magic production in Broadway history.

 

With a resume that includes international awards, viral online fame, and critical acclaim for his darkly original twist on classic magic, Dan Sperry has earned a reputation as one of the most in-demand and unforgettable performers in the world. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, HuffPost, and dozens of media outlets worldwide, cementing his status as a pioneer in modern magic. Whether on stage or on screen, Dan Sperry continues to push boundaries and redefine what a magic show can be.

- a true original and an artist."
