Magic is Happening in Santa Barbara & Beyond

News From Santa Barbara Magician Gene Urban

Hi Gene,

It's hard to believe that Summer is almost over and fall is sneaking up on us. I hope you are having a great Summer!


Life is good on my end. I got to add lots of magic for people getting married, having birthdays, hosting corporate events, plus at Satellite Wine Bar and Chads. I am a lucky guy!


There have been so many great moments of magic.

  • One was an 8-year-old girl who told me SHE was magic... What a great attitude.
  • Then there was a dog who did an impromptu bit of card magic by sniffing out and finding his master's selected card. You had to be there to see the shock on his human's face!!


Magic comes in many forms.

Live Magic Is Happening


This summer has been so much fun with past clients and friends dropping by to watch the magic at Satellite Wine Bar on State Street and Chad's by West Beach.


Magic happens from 6:15 to 9:00 on Fridays at Sallelite and 10:00 to 12:30 at Chad's. 

One of The Greatest Magicians... Ever


In this edition, I wanted to introduce a great magician you've probably never seen or heard of... Juan Tamariz from Spain 


IMHO, Tamariz is the finest living teacher of magical theory and performance principles. His latest book, The Magic Rainbow, helped me be a much better performer on so many levels.
