About Elliot
A modern take on magic and illusion
Elliot Zimet brings a fresh, modern take on magic and illusion, blending close-up sleight of hand, mentalism, and contemporary stage illusion into a single interactive show. His work has been featured on America’s Got Talent, introducing his style to a national audience.
What sets his performances apart is how directly they involve the room. Guests are not watching from a distance, they are pulled into the moment, whether it is a card trick worked inches from their hands or a mind-reading segment that turns a stranger into the center of the story.
That interactive, audience-driven style makes Elliot a strong fit for upscale weddings, corporate galas, bar and bat mitzvahs, and milestone celebrations across New York City, Connecticut, Westchester, the Hamptons, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
What he offers
Four ways Elliot works a room
Modern Mentalism & Mind Reading
Interactive mind-reading routines that turn an ordinary audience member into the center of an impossible moment, delivered with a contemporary, personable style rather than old-world theatrics.
Contemporary Stage Illusion
Illusion built for the full room, staged with a modern sensibility so it holds a crowd's attention from the first reveal through the close.
Close-Up Sleight of Hand
Cocktail-hour magic worked directly with small groups. Cards and everyday objects transformed inches from the audience, up close and personal.
Interactive & Audience-Driven
Every segment is built around real participation from the room, so the show adapts to the crowd in front of him rather than repeating the same script twice.
