Professional entertainer with over 20 years of experience. Teaches the handling and psychology of magic and mentalism in various forms. Fully customizable course depending on YOUR needs.

I’ve had the chance to learn from Eric, and honestly, he’s one of the most knowledgeable and passionate instructors I’ve met. He’s been performing for over 20 years, and it shows—not just in his technical skill, but in how he breaks things down and teaches the why behind the magic, not just the how. That deeper insight really sets him apart.

During my six years working as a stage manager, I saw a lot of performers come and go—but Eric is one of the very few who fully captivated me. His presence, timing, and ability to genuinely engage an audience are exceptional, and it’s something you can feel even in a one-on-one session.

I also come to him any time I have questions about show creation or choosing material—his encyclopedic knowledge of magic makes him an incredible resource. He’s the kind of person who can point you to the perfect effect for the moment and explain the history, psychology, and performance angle behind it.

Whether you’re just getting started or refining advanced skills, Eric meets you where you are. His teaching style is clear, encouraging, and easy to follow, but also really intentional. Sessions with him are always fun, but you leave with real insight and applicable skills.

If you’re serious about learning magic or mentalism, Eric’s the real deal. Highly recommend.

Ya baby!

You cannot go wrong with Eric Stevens!

I have known Eric for 15 years. I have purchased books he's written and tricks he has invented. His instructions are clear, concise and easy to understand. He has a way of breaking down a process to its simplest steps. He has helped me through some pretty complex sleight of hand magic. I would not hesitate to recommend him. ~Jon

I've known Eric Stevens for over a decade, since he began his journey as a young magician. Even back then, he was already a highly skilled performer and inventor of original magic effects and sleights. Since then, Eric has authored numerous books on magic, sharing his knowledge with other magicians, and has become a prolific creator of new tricks and effects. He is a professional magician with years of experience doing close-up and parlor magic shows. He has personally taught me several of his effects and sleight-of-hand techniques, and I can attest that he is a natural instructor. His approach to teaching is methodical, detailed, and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Eric Stevens, whether you're just starting out or looking to elevate your magic to the next level.

Eric spends hours breaking down the basics of an effect. He then has an uncanny knack of being able to teach the illusion in a way that is easy to learn and understand!

Eric has taught me so much over the many years that I’ve known him. He is an excellent communicator and has a calm and pleasant demeanor. Eric is a very capable teacher who easily and effectively explains even the smallest details yet does so in a way that maintains your interest. He is very patient and listens carefully to any questions or concerns that you may have and then readily adjusts his explanations to help you more easily learn the material. Highly recommended!

Eric Stevens is one of the most brilliant thinkers and creators in all of magic! Having revamped such a classic like the Hot Rod and taken it to new levels, Eric's deep understanding of how and why magic works is top tier in the world of prestidigitation.

Eric is an amazing teacher. He does a really good job breaking things down and explaining them in a way that is easy to understand. He is very patient and makes sure you fully understand the material before moving on! Highly recommend!

Eric does a lot of things well, but he does a few at a level few can reach. One of those is performing and creating magic. The other is teaching those skills to others. I’m a professional magician and make my living performing for others and I CONSTANTLY turn to Eric for help and advice. He’s an 11/10 teacher!

He is an amazing teacher, whose skill, mastery, and teaching ability in magic is extraordinary. He meets you where you are and teaches more than tricks, but techniques and ideas. He will see that you start performing and support you through the whole process. He encourages you to create tricks of your own and provides great input.

Eric is extremely insightful, kind and knowledgeable. He's helped give tailored instruction and made sure it was clear and accurate! Can't recommend him enough!

Eric has a passion for magic that is only found in the greatest magicians and conveys that in his teaching. His experience and knowledge of magic make him a truly excellent teacher!
