About Goofy Gary
Kansas City's most formally dressed, most overly confident, and most genuinely passionate kids magician.
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 Recurring Flaws That Make the Show
- Mispronounces the magic word: playfully blames the kids, makes everyone say it louder
- Argues with JokeBot: dismisses it, immediately turns back to ask it something else
- Baffled when things go wrong: "This has never happened in Goofy Gary's entire career." Every time.
- Speaks in third person: addresses kids like fellow professionals
The Real Story
Gary got a magic kit as a birthday present as a kid. It wasn't the most exciting gift at the party. It became the one he couldn't put down.
He performs at birthday parties because that's where it all started for him. You won't hear this story at a show. It lives in how he treats every kid helper like a fellow magician in training.
