New York City Magician for Hire
I'm Zach Waldman. In 1997, I was a college intern on The Howard Stern Show. He fired me for streaking the studio live on the radio. It aired on his E! show. Extra did a whole segment on it. After that, I went to work for Kenny Kramer, the inspiration for the Kramer character on Seinfeld. I opened his theater show doing stand-up while he basically kept me alive as an open micer in New York. If you're planning a corporate event in New York, call me.
1997. The year I got fired by Howard Stern for streaking live on the radio.
The day Extra came calling. This is what happens when you streak Howard Stern's studio live on the radio.

New York City Magician - Shows
I do three things. Stand-up comedy. Magic. Mentalism. All in one show.
Close-up magic during cocktail hour for groups mingling and networking. Stage show after dinner for the full room. I walk in, set up in minutes, and perform. No trucks, no crew, no all-day production.
I've performed for two people and for several thousand. The show scales to your event.
