About Mr. Castle
“Hello! I’m Rudy Castle, a University of Florida Engineering alumnus and Miami native, who found my true calling in magic. My journey from engineering to magic has been nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last decade, I’ve developed a rich repertoire in close-up magic, captivating audiences with expert sleight of hand, intricate card tricks, coin magic, and a touch of mentalism.
My engineering background, which includes designing bridges and working on residential projects in The Villages retirement community, has instilled in me a meticulous attention to detail and a problem-solving approach. These skills beautifully complement my magic performances, adding an extra layer of finesse and intrigue.
The pandemic briefly put my magic career on hold, but I’ve since embraced full-time performing with renewed passion. Today, I’m dedicated to creating unforgettable moments at corporate events, weddings, private parties, and more. My performances are not just about magic tricks; they’re about crafting experiences that connect, entertain, and leave a lasting impression.
As someone who has balanced a technical career with a creative passion, I bring a unique blend of precision and charisma to each performance, ensuring your event is nothing short of magical. I serve as a close-up magician in Florida.”

Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Instead of the conventional stage performances you might associate with magic shows, my specialty lies in close-up, walk-around magic. I mingle among your guests, offering personalized and immersive magical experiences that break the mold of what you’d expect from an evening of entertainment. Each small group I engage with receives a specially curated set of illusions, ensuring that everyone gets to be a part of the magic, regardless of the size of the event.
My magical repertoire covers a range of techniques, from sleight of hand and card tricks to coin magic and a dash of mentalism. This interactive approach not only fascinates but also invites your guests into a shared adventure of wonder and astonishment. No matter the duration of your event, I blend seamlessly into the proceedings, captivating your guests and making your occasion a truly memorable one.
What do you love most about your job?
The real magic for me is in the reactions – the gasps of surprise, the bursts of laughter, the wide-eyed wonder. There’s nothing quite like the joy of bringing people together through the shared experience of magic. It’s these moments of genuine human connection that make my job not just a profession, but a passion.
What inspired you to start your own business?
