Robert Strong

Robert Strong has been voted San Francisco’s “Best Magician” three times and “Best Comedian” twice by the Bay Guardian. He is Google’s unofficial Chief Magic Officer and has been teaching magic there for years to stimulate creativity in the people who work there.

He performs at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, consults and invents magic tricks that are performed by other professional magicians, produces conferences for professional speakers and entertainers, and books some of the world’s top talent for live appearances at corporate events.
