Both.  Ryan David Joyce is a multi-disciplinary performer. He tours the world as Ryan Joyce for grand-scale magic and illusion, and as Ryan David for comedy hypnosis. This duality allows organizers to book a "dual-threat" headliner—often utilizing a magic production for a daytime matinee and a comedy hypnosis show for an adult evening audience.

Ryan Joyce is based in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, but he is a frequent world traveler. From cruise ships, national theatre tours across Canada to "fly-in" corporate banquet shows in Vancouver or Halifax, his productions are engineered for easy travel and global reach. No matter where your event is located, Ryan’s shows are designed to be a seamless, turn-key addition to your schedule.

Ryan David Joyce specializes in high-stakes environments where the pressure to deliver a spectacular guest experience is high. His productions are engineered for Corporate Galas, Awards Banquets, and Professional Theatre Tours.  He primarily performs for audiences ranging from 400 to 1,100+ guests, with the capacity to scale up to massive 5,000-seat arenas. Please note that while he specializes in sophisticated variety arts for the stage, he does not perform at birthday parties or child-centric events. For select high-end galas, an exclusive strolling "walk-around" magic experience can be integrated into the cocktail hour prior to the main stage production.

Yes. While Ryan is often on tour with theatre productions or headlining international engagements, he frequently integrates corporate performances into his Ontario schedule. Because he is based in Southern Ontario, he is ideally positioned to provide high-impact entertainment for galas and banquets in cities such as Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, Ottawa, London, and Hamilton, as well as the Greater Toronto Area. If you are planning an event in large city in Ontario or small remote town in Canada, it is recommended to reach out as early as possible. Even during a busy tour season, Ryan often has availability for corporate bookings between his public tour dates, offering a unique opportunity to bring a "theatre-quality" production directly to your private or corporate stage.

While the Ryan Joyce Illusion Show and the Ryan David Comedy Hypnosis Show are distinct world-class productions, they can be strategically paired. In the Theatre and Performance Arts world, it is common to host a family-friendly magic matinee to build community buzz, followed by a sophisticated comedy hypnosis show in the evening. For corporate events, Ryan can act as your Master of Ceremonies, integrating magic throughout the evening and closing with a headlining hypnosis performance. Important Note: To ensure the highest impact, all stage performances are scheduled as after-dinner entertainment. Performances are not held during active dinner service to ensure your guests can fully engage with the spectacle.

Despite the "spectacle" on stage, the shows are designed to be a seamless, turn-key addition to your event logistics. Standard requirements include: Audio: A simple connection for computer-based audio cues (wired or wireless). Microphones: A handheld microphone for hypnosis or a wireless Shure-compatible pack for magic (Ryan provides his own professional DPA headset). Video: The magic production is highly video-integrated, utilizing both prepared content and live-shot integration to ensure every seat in the house is the best one. Duration: Typical banquet performances run 45–60 minutes, while full-tour productions are 90 minutes.

Yes. Ryan is deeply committed to the growth of the magic arts within Canada and internationally. He is the current President of the Canadian Association of Magicians, a FISM World Championship judge, and the founder/organizer of the Ontario Magic Festival. While he does not offer private workshops, he maintains a comprehensive Resources for Magicians hub.
