Who Is Gary the Great?

Gary Ferrar is an acclaimed mentalist and magician who's as comfortable headlining for multi-billion dollar companies (Facebook, Morgan Stanley, Ralph Lauren) as he is performing for a casual rooftop event. He draws on his love for theater and improvisation in more than 300 performances each year, from live national TV appearances on Fox News, to performing for Howard Stern, Sharon Osbourne, and Howie Mandel on Season 7 of America's Got Talent. Clients including Google, Facebook, and Spotify call on Gary to produce entertainment that is both theatrical and mind-blowing for their corporate events, product launches, and digital marketing, such as his “Drunk Magic” Buzzfeed video which has been viewed over 1 million times. Gary has served as a magic consultant for television commercials for Samsung and a publicity consultant for Lionsgate's “Now You See Me” franchise. In addition to performing, Gary has lectured for the oldest magic society in the U.S. and provides private lessons on magic theory to celebrities and influencers such as Ivanka Trump and Ralph Lauren.

Gary has a degree in Performing Arts from Hofstra University and his love for theater and improvisation is highlighted in each performance. Gary loves hiking the midwest, skiing in Vermont, landscape photography, and raising his incredible kids, Wesley & Stella, who often dominates his Instagram feed.

What To Expect

He wakes up every morning craving to go to work, which makes him (officially) the luckiest man in the world. He absolutely loves what he does and it shows in every performance.

Since you've made it this far, here's a rare photo from my very first PAID appearance, juggling for a friend's birthday party. Luckily my sense of fashion has improved as much as my magic has. I promise I won't wear these shorts to your event (unless you want me to...)
