Mark Mitton

Mark Mitton performs magic at private functions and corporate events, and creates singular entertainment and educational programs at festivals around the world. In 2024, New York Magazine named him one of its top “Reasons to Love New York.” He crafts one-of-a-kind experiences for some of the world’s most discerning audiences: cultural icons, global thinkers, and those who prefer their celebrations to remain entirely off the radar.

A master of physical misdirection, Mark uses illusion to illuminate how we perceive reality and how effortlessly science, art, and everyday life can astonish. His talks on perception have taken him to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, the Neurosciences Institute, international conferences on consciousness, and IIT Delhi. Beyond the stage, he has appeared in independent films, a music video for They Might Be Giants, and in Imponderable, Tony Oursler’s immersive 5-D film about Houdini and spirit mediums, which ran for ten months at MoMA.
