A Magician & Mentalist at Home in the Capital
When an Ottawa event calls for more than the usual entertainment, companies bring in Bao: a magician and mentalist with 160+ five-star reviews and a show that moves between English and French as naturally as the capital does. National sales meetings, association galas, year-end parties: Ottawa is a regular stop on his calendar, and the reviews on this page were written by clients who watched him work their rooms.
At scale: a magic & mentalism show for 600 guests at RBC’s gala. Budgeting? What actually drives the cost of a magician and mentalist.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Bao Magic perform at our National Sales Meeting dinner in Ottawa, and it was nothing short of extraordinary.

Why Bao
Why Ottawa events book Bao
-
01
Scale When It Matters
Bao has headlined a 600-guest gala and performed on arena floors. Whatever the size of your Ottawa room, it will not be his first at that scale.
-
02
Bilingual for the Capital
English, French, or both in the same room. For Ottawa and Gatineau audiences, Bao switches languages guest by guest, so no table gets a lesser version of the night.
-
03
Always Early, Fully Self-Contained
Bao arrives well before your first guest with everything he needs. You book the entertainment; the logistics are his job, not yours.
-
04
Cocktails, Stage, or Both
Roaming close-up magic while guests mingle, a stage show that headlines the night, or the two combined into one seamless evening.
What Does a Night With Bao Look Like in Ottawa?
Most Ottawa bookings start during cocktails: close-up magic and mind reading performed for a few guests at a time, until word travels across the room. For seated evenings, the stage show gathers every table into one audience and gives the night its defining moment.
The rooms have ranged from arena floors to hotel ballrooms and private dining rooms. Every space is scouted before your guests arrive, so the show fits the venue instead of fighting it.
Bao did an amazing job entertaining our general manager conference of about 350 people.

Both, fluently. Bao performs professionally in English and French and moves between them mid-room, which matters in the National Capital Region more than almost anywhere else.
