Hosting an event in San Francisco? Make it unforgettable with Magic & Cocktails. Our bartenders are not only skilled mixologists but also professional magicians and illusionists. Every cocktail becomes part of a live performance, combining flair bartending, smoke effects, and sleight-of-hand magic that keeps your guests entertained from the first sip to the last.
Cocktails That Come With a Show
Unlike traditional bartending services, we deliver a complete entertainment experience. Guests don’t just get drinks — they get magic, laughter, and memories that last long after the party is over.
Our Magic Bartenders prepare hand-crafted cocktails on demand while performing sleight-of-hand illusions right at the bar. Fire garnishes, flair moves, and smoke effects add theatrical touches, all wrapped in professional service with a fun, engaging vibe.
What makes us different from other San Francisco bartenders?
Most bartenders only serve drinks. At Magic & Cocktails, we go far beyond that by turning every cocktail into an interactive experience. Our team blends mixology with live magic, giving your guests something they’ve never seen before.
- Magicians behind the bar: sleight-of-hand, illusions, and close-up tricks while preparing cocktails.
- Signature drinks with a twist: crafted menus and theatrical reveals tailored to your event.
- Visual effects: smoke bubbles, fire garnishes, levitation shakers, and flair performances.
- Complete service: from mobile bars and glassware to custom extras like champagne towers or edible cocktail wafers.
No other bartending service in San Francisco combines premium cocktails, professional hospitality, and magical entertainment the way we do.
