Walt Anthony

Spellbinder Entertainment's Theatrical Magic style integrates captivating mystery with imaginative tales.

Walt Anthony blends the Art of Magic with the Art of Storytelling to evoke astonishment and emotional connection– qualities lost to some of us since childhood.

Since ancient days people invented stories to explain the unexplainable. They understood the power of wonder and the spoken word. Fables and myths arose providing a foundation for communities to explore their world. Share this tradition with Walt Anthony– and you will Believe in Magic again.

Many magic shows are just a series of disjointed "tricks." We offer Theatrical Entertainment that transforms trickery into spellbinding Magic.

We are organizing this year's schedule please contact us for availability
