Children's Magician in Kansas City
Goofy Gary is a children's magician in Kansas City — formally dressed, overly confident, and genuinely passionate about the work.
Who Is Goofy Gary?
Goofy Gary is the most accomplished magician in Kansas City, a fact he will tell you himself, repeatedly, in the third person. He is overly confident, formally self-important, occasionally forgetful, and genuinely, completely, sincerely in love with magic.
"Goofy Gary is not trying to make money. Goofy Gary is trying to make a lot of money." — Goofy Gary
JokeBot, Gary's Colleague
Gary performs alongside JokeBot, a bluetooth speaker he treats as a real professional colleague. JokeBot mishears commands, gives deadpan responses, and regularly stirs up hilarious mix-ups that Gary addresses with complete bewilderment.
The Real Story
Goofy Gary started doing magic at age 4 after seeing a magician at the Mall of America and getting a magic kit. His grandfather had always fooled him with a removable thumb — and Gary needed to learn how.
Through his college years and his twenties, Goofy Gary performed close-up magic for children and adults alike. After relocating his lab from Austin, TX to the Kansas City area, he made it his mission to give at least one child the same moment he had at the mall that day.
You won't hear this story at a show. It lives in how he treats every kid helper like a fellow magician in training.
