Magic & Storytelling

Minneapolis magician, Steven Paul Carlson. I love to weave stories and tales into my magic. This photo was shot at the 2021 MN Renaissance Festival by Darin Jensen. The theme of the magical effect I am performing here is the classic Magician vs the Devil. The story is told in the words of a poem. I titled it The Young Lad and the Mysterious Stranger. Captured in this photo is the moment the young lad sells his soul to the Devil in exchange for incredible magical abilities. In the end, he outsmarts and beats the Devil at his own game with some incredible card magic.
Over my many years of performing this style of magic I have found the audience gets drawn into the magic, they begin to care about what is happening, they are engaged, enriched, enchanted.

Producing a lit birthday cake!
My name is Steven Paul Carlson, and I am a professional magician, a sleight-of-hand artist! This is a photo from my first birthday party, and I just produced my birthday cake, candle, and all, with my bare hands! Well… if you play the movie backwards, it looks just like I am producing the cake! It’s sort of an illusion!
I am based in Minneapolis and St. Paul and ready to hire! Oh, I don’t conjure with cakes anymore.
