People
Blake Vogt
Magician
If you have seen any of Blake’s work you know how ridiculously innovative and fresh all his creations feel. He is not only a magician’s magician but a worker’s worker! From all the incredible creations he has consulted on for others to his own accomplishments we knew we had to have him on this cruise!
Rúbi Férez
Also Magician
We first saw and jammed with Rubi at 4F. From his “Rúbi Cup” to his yogurt routine, his spanish magic chaotic style instantly draws you in. The more you watch you realize just how truly original and creative every one of his creations are. Also, he is a killer hang!
Kyle Littleton
Also Also Magician
Kyle has a unique approach to how he formulates his routines. Besides being a magician he is a stand-up comic. He first tests out his routines (without the magic) and after the material can stand alone, adds in the magic. We first saw him when he MC’ed a gala magic show and he was the absolute highlight of the show. His 5 minute bits between acts stole the show having the audience in stitches with his unique blend of comedy and magic. The comedy perfectly balanced the magic and vice versa. And every time he left the stage, the audience wanted more. Kyle is a genuine joy to be around and we’re just looking forward to forcing him to hangout with us!
John Michael Hinton
Also als— you get the point.
John Michael Hinton does close-up magic for 1000+ people at a time. I’ve seen his show a few times, and I always marvel at the fact that he can do classic close-up tricks on a large stage while keeping the audience completely engaged. You can learn so much about show structure just by watching John perform. He has more experience performing on stages than most working magicians AND he fully supports his family of 5 on a working magicians salary. There is no escaping it either, if you meet John, he will be your friend!
Erik Casey
Idiot, but also a magician
Erik once bought way too many marked decks and went around to every bar he might visit in his home town of Jacksonville FL and asked them to keep it behind the bar. That way when he is out and someone asks him to do some magic he can say, “oh I don’t have anything on me…ask the bar if they have a deck of cards.” Then using a “borrowed” marked deck he can proceed to perform miracles. His desire and passion to create impromptu moments of magic will inspire you to go the extra mile in your own performing!
SLEIGHTED CONSULTING

Your ship will sail into the Bay of Maimon, a short distance to the north-west from Puerto Plata.
