Congratulations to Wayne for winning the 2006 "Best Novelty Artist of the Year"


The Show

Wayne's show can be summed up in one sentence: "If a mind reader and a magician would have a kid, feed him nothing but caffiene, home school him with Girls Gone Wild videos, and put spiral contacts in his eyes, you would have Wayne Hoffman." Get ready for a wild ride! Wayne Hoffman has performed for hundreds of colleges across the United States and continues to be ranked one of the top entertainers in his field. Wayne performs an insane show that involves mind reading, magic, and his infamous "Just because I can" stunts where students can win cash for completeing crazy challenges.

One of the activity directors that hired Wayne put it perfectly by saying “our students have seen the best of the best. So when they stood up and gave you a standing ovation...that says something. ”Wayne Hoffman does not perform your standard magic/mentalism show. In fact, that couldn't be further from the truth. Wayne wanted to provide a different form of entertainment, so he started performing a show that is a unique blend of illusion and mind reading. He combines unparalleled sleight of hand with unforgettable mind reading abilities to create a spectacular journey into his audiences mind. A reporter from the Chicago Tribune once wrote “If Copperfield had a kid with The Amazing Kreskin, they would name him Wayne Hoffman.” 

Wayne has been nominated as ” The Best Novelty Entertainer Of The Year”  Enough said. His show will be a guaranteed hit at your campus. In fact, you don't pay for the show if you're students aren't entertained.

You can choose a show to fit your event. Looking for a show for sibling weekend, welcome week, spring fling, or a showcase night? Have Wayne entertain!

    FREE Teaser

    Are you sick of teasers that don't work? Wayne will GUARANTEE a huge crowd at his show. He invades your campus before each show and freaks people out (while mentioning the location and time of the upcoming show! If you build it...they will come. Here's a description of what to expect during your FREE teaser that Wayne will perform to help you promote his stage show:

    Imagine a guy in a black suit approaching you in the student center during dinner, seemingly from thin air. The man introduces himself as “the entertainment for the day”. He then asks you to think of the name of a person who is important to you. As you think of the name he looks at you intently and says “David”. Your jaw drops. He read your mind. You were thinking of your father whose name was David. Your friends freak out. You want to see more. He then asks you what time it is. You look at your watch and answer “8pm”. The guy then asks your friend to name a number between 1 and 100. Looking puzzled, you friend says 43. The man in the black suit tells you to look at your watch again. You look at your watch and it now says 8:43! Your watch moved 43 minutes into the future without it leaving your grasp! Your friends can't believe it. You want to see more. And that's just the beginning.

    Wayne Hoffman's teaser is perfect for promoting his larger stage show. With the teaser there are no special requirements or stage area needed. This type of entertainment is the perfect way to make sure you have a crowd. Wayne travels around performing a 3-5 minute act that your students will never forget. Wayne Hoffman's abilities are far from any “rabbit out of the hat” magic tricks. Some of his most talked about effects include levitating a borrowed finger ring, putting a half-dollar inside of a beer bottle, reading your mind, moving the hands on your wristwatch without touching it, bending any borrowed coins and keys with his mind, and even levitating himself off the ground! Wayne's teasers are guaranteed to bring the crowd!

    Plus, students always leaves with a memento of their night. These things leave an impression that will make sure they pack the venue the night of the show. For example, he may ask a guest to hold a quarter in their hand and concentrate on it. Then they actually feel the coin bend while its in their hand! They leave astonished and get to keep the quarter to go and show their friends. Wayne would be more than happy to give you a live demonstration if you don't believe it. We have to stress that Wayne can help promote his own show without any added effort on your part.
