Illusions Manager

New World Stages, 2025-current

Direct from London’s West End, Jamie Allan’s Amaze is New York City’s must-see magic sensation. Bold, heartfelt, and unlike anything you’ve experienced before, Amaze blends 80s nostalgia with jaw-dropping, high-tech illusions to create a show that doesn’t just amaze - it moves you.

Built around the audience and driven by story, Amaze weaves together theatrical storytelling, dazzling visual effects, mind-bending sleight-of-hand, and moments of pure wonder in an unforgettable experience for ages.

Currently the highest-rated magic show in New York City, Amaze has wowed critics and audiences alike, shattering box-office records and selling out runs in London’s West End. The Chicago Tribune hailed it as a “masterclass in magic,” The Times named it a Critic’s Pick, and even Penn & Teller were blown away: “You will love this show. We did!”

Ryan is the Illusions Manager sub for the Drama Desk Award winning magic production by Jamie Allan. He is responsible for setting up, operating, and maintaining all the magic backstage during the show. Bodies levitate, a motorcycle appears from thin air, Natalia vanishes! An enormous Luck Dragon flies across stage. The intricate and detailed operation of this production showcases Ryan’s expertise in managing a large scale commercial magic show running continuously for over two years Off-Broadway in New York City.
