Matthew Haicken is the greatest magician the world has ever known. Don't believe it? Just ask his grandmother.

That's right. Esther Grossman, age 100, lives at Menorah Manor Assisted Living in St. Petersburg, FL, and would be happy to tell you all about Matt. Here are two of her recent quotes on the matter:

  1. "Who is Matthew Haicken?"
  2. "Matthew is a great magician. But I'm still glad he went to law school."

Matt specializes in delivering results by strategically adding value to events. He acts as your emissary; welcoming your guests, facilitating interactions, and when appropriate, incorporating your organization's message into his interactive presentations.

While strolling through the event, Matt breaks the ice by reading minds and performing miracles with objects like coins, silverware, and playing cards. Yet another soporific cocktail hour is transformed into the most talked about segment of the occasion.

People don't hire Matt just because of his magic skills. Fortune 500 companies and elite Manhattan socialites consult him because of his ability to flawlessly integrate himself into each affair and unlock its entertainment potential. Matt engineers innovative, event planning concepts, and provides customized, turnkey solutions that maximize client satisfaction.


While a college student at Brown University, Matt made ample use of the world's largest public collection of magic books, located at the John Hay Library in Providence. Matt insists that his college grades would have been much better if only he hadn't found out about the library's existence.

During his junior year in Spain, Matt became the first and only American to be inducted into the Spanish Society of Illusionists. David Copperfield, David Blaine, and Chris Angel are still waiting for their invitations.
