Kostya Kimlat is the founder and CEO of See Magic Live and one of the most accomplished corporate magicians working today. He has performed in hundreds of cities across five continents, entertaining audiences at Fortune 500 companies, major conferences, and high-profile private events. His signature blend of close-up magic, mentalism, and audience interaction creates the kind of moments guests talk about long after the event is over.
Kostya fooled Penn & Teller on their hit CW show Fool Us, a performance that went viral on YouTube and earned him the closing act in the duo's legendary Las Vegas show. He also established a partnership between his team of magicians and the NBA's Orlando Magic team in 2010. Whether performing sleight-of-hand at a cocktail reception or commanding a stage of hundreds, Kostya tailors every performance to the audience in front of him.
His deep understanding of psychology and perception also makes him a sought-after keynote speaker. Organizations like Sysco, AT&T, Siemens, NASA, and Disney have brought Kostya in to teach their teams how magicians read people and shape experiences, lessons he delivers through live demonstrations that are equal parts entertaining and instructive.
When he's not on stage, Kostya is running See Magic Live, the company he built to connect clients with vetted, professional magicians for events of every size, anywhere in the country. He founded this company because he believes every event deserves a great magician, and that hiring one should be simple and stress-free.
