Amazing, funny, and a little bit out of his mind, Nathan Allen performs a highly-caffeinated blend of magic and comedy. Whether he is coughing up a deck of cards, playing with fire, eating razor blades, or trying to escape from a straitjacket, Nathan delivers one side-splitting, jaw-dropping show!
Yes, Nathan Allen is a magician, but don’t be fooled – you will see NO rabbit, NO tuxedo, and NO sparkly boxes in this show. Instead, Nathan combines his tightly-wound (yet down-to-earth) stage presence with sleight-of-hand, wise-cracks, and hilarious audience participation. Onstage volunteers have been seen doing outrageous things, such as tying Nathan to a chair, giving him the Heimlich maneuver, burning their own cash, and even running across the stage in a slow-motion instant replay!
The best trick up Nathan’s sleeve is his ability to connect with a crowd, and it’s a trick he can pull off whether he is at a corporate event or a biker bar. With a knack for being a bit naughty and tons of fun, without being offensive, Nathan’s personality-driven performances have been described as...“A guaranteed evening of amazement and laughter” (Comedy Crossroads; Des Moines, IA), “Edgy, funny comedy and magic at its best” (Naturally Funny Entertainment; Chicago, IL), “Funny, fast-moving, unique, and very entertaining!” (Vetesnik Power Sports; Richland Center, WI), and “Action packed, funny, and unpredictable!” (Iowa Emergency Management Association; Des Moines, IA).
The International Brotherhood of Magicians recently presented Nathan with the Iowa Magic Award, based on his technical skills and entertainment value. He was the only magician featured in “The Grassroots Comedy Tour” and in “The Super Bowl of Stand-Up.” His entertainment services won him a full-ride business scholarship to attend college. Of the dozens of magicians in Iowa, Nathan was the only one selected to perform onstage at Iowa Governor Culver’s Inaugural Gala. And yet, in a typical example of his priorities, he insists that he is most proud of being elected Class Clown.
More than just something out of thin air, Nathan’s slow-but-steady rise in the entertainment industry is the result of a 15-year, love-hate obsession with his work. He started learning magic when he was only 8 years old and did his first paid performance when he was just 12. Now, at the age of 24, Nathan has a long list of performances under his belt, for companies including 3M, Alliant Energy, Ford, Honda, RadioShack, Swiss Valley Farms, and Wal-Mart, to name just a few. In addition to countless corporate engagements at banquets, awards nights, and holiday parties, Nathan also works at nightclubs, casinos, class reunions, clubs, colleges, golf courses, festivals, proms, and private parties throughout the upper Midwest.
Nathan is currently based in Des Moines, Iowa. He drinks way too much coffee, and in his spare time, he enjoys arguing with the television. When it's turned off.
