The Magic of Adam Trent
Direct from Broadway, Adam Trent, the break-out star of the world’s best-selling magic show,
The Illusionists, brings his signature brand of magic and illusion to this high-tech spectacle. Adam
shatters stereotypes and brings a new generation of magic to fans fusing technology illusions, dancing
and comedy with classic techniques. Adam looks to change people’s perception of magicians with
his refreshing approach to magic; entertainment rst and tricks second. He doesn’t want people to
remember “tricks” as much as the laughs and memories made with the performance.
Adam has mesmerized live audiences around the globe, in person and as a featured guest on America’s
Got Talent, The Today Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Rachael Ray Show and Disney Channel
among countless other television appearances. He also stars in his own recently launched 10-episode
television series The Road Trick on Red Bull TV.
Adam doesn’t remember a time in his life when he wasn’t performing, starting with birthday party
shows at age nine and bigger events when he was 13. At age 14, he started street performances
which he says, “was the most amazing and brutal training a performer could ever have.” Through
this experience, he discovered an audience’s true attention span and when he was 18, went to a Los
Angeles college for a degree in nance and entertainment marketing. “Apart from learning that a tiger
would be tax-deductible, I got a crash course in LA’s music and comedy scene. I realized that the most
important element in a show is the performer’s connection to the audience, and without that, even
amazing skill can fall as at as a bad boy band.”
