Magic has a way of bringing people together—and Geno Ploeger knows how to make that happen. For him, magic isn’t just about tricks; it’s about creating real moments of wonder that people remember forever. As a magician from Phoenix, AZ, Geno has performed for all kinds of audiences—from private parties to large corporate events—always aiming to make each show a personal and unforgettable experience for the audience.
Recently, Geno achieved a major milestone by winning first place in the Adult Close-Up competition at The International Brotherhood of Magicians conference in Tacoma, Washington—becoming one of the youngest magicians to ever earn the award. His mix of creativity, skill, and stage presence has made him a standout in the world of magic.
Now finishing his senior year at Arizona State University, Geno is double majoring in Acting and Marketing. He’s always working to grow as both a performer and a professional, balancing his passion for magic with his academic goals.
Geno also believes in giving back. He mentors young magicians through programs like the Lance Burton Teen Seminar, helping them grow in confidence and technique just like others helped him when he was starting out.
He has performed at the Customer Contact Week gala at the Mirage in Vegas for 3 years in the past which is where he has met so many CX leaders and professionals. When COVID-19 hit, he had to innovate to continue to perform – creating a virtual interactive show for companies like Comcast, Target, USAA, Santander Bank, Salesforce and over 50 more to provide engagement and fun for their teams. He now applies his knowledge and performance experience to create performances for any style of show or event.
Whether he’s performing for a crowd or teaching the next generation, Geno creates magic that connects people, surprises them, and leaves them talking long after the show is over. Get in touch today to bring Geno’s unforgettable magic to your next event.

Why Magic?
The one thing that I love the most about performing magic is the joy people feel after a performance. Entertaining people has always been an amazing feeling for me because I love knowing that people are happy and are enjoying the show. When I hear laughter at my jokes or applause at the end of one of my routines, I know that I am bringing joy to the audience and that people feel happy. During performances, the audience reaction fuels my energy and my passion shines even brighter.
Audience Experience
The things that I want people to remember about me and the performance is the happiness and wonder that they felt. I want people to remember that my show was engaging and entertaining all the way through, and hopefully put a smile on their face. I also want people to remember specific effects that I perform that truly mystified them and left them baffled. The combination of entertainment and the art of magic are the two main things…with a side of wonder and a smile is what I want people to remember from my show. I want people to remember me as the kid who found his passion very early in life, spent a monumental number of hours mastering his craft, paying it forward to those coming up from behind and sharing a whole lot of magic with the world.
