CLIENTS INCLUDE:
The Artifice Group was founded in 2008 by Prakash Puru and Matthew Holtzclaw.
Our aims were twofold.
First: Provide irreplaceable magical entertainment for private parties & corporate events.
We don’t advertise. Our bookings come solely from referrals and repeat clients.
We’ve performed at The Super Bowl and at The Museum of Modern Art - repeatedly. We’ve disguised ourselves as “motivational speakers” for a breakfast meeting in Zürich and as blackjack dealers for a gala in Istanbul; picked pockets for a TV commercial in Washington Square; conducted a séance for CEOs in a wine cellar; and turned rose petals into wriggling goldfish while locked in a bank vault.
We’ve also been the magic consultants for David Blaine, Penn & Teller, and a few other magicians whom we can’t name. (Because NDAs.)
So: What can we do for you?
Frankly, almost anything. Let’s talk.
P.S: We currently have a number of shows in New York City. Some are ticketed, others are invitation-only. If you’d like to come to any of them, we’d be happy

Second: Create magical solutions for impossible problems.
What the hell does that mean?
Well, it means one-of-a-kind experiences.
We’ve made cellphones float in midair for a high-profile product launch and made the Witches disappear from centre-stage during a live production of Macbeth; engineered secret pop-up shows for Social Media Week and created immersive magical experiences for speakeasies and craft breweries; taught 3-Card Monte for
a Pulitzer-winning play and designed illusions for
Tony-winning musicals.
We invented The Mystery Schoolbus®.
Along the way, we’ve also used our powers for good.

Hello.
You might be expecting the usual barrage of flashy videos and colorful photos.
