Kayla Drescher is talented, clever, intelligent, funny and creative.  David Copperfield stated, “she’s obviously very, very good” and David personally choose Kayla to be his choice for “the Search for the Next Great Magician” on NBC’s the Today Show in 2013 – which is no minor feat.

Kayla was destined to be a magician.  Early on, magic triggered something in her DNA where the precise formulas and mysteries of science and the suspended reality and performances in magic intertwined. 

At age seven, she watched the cut and restored rope trick for the first time at a magic shop.  She quickly learned the trick and was soon performing it in her school talent show and has not stopped since.  She has a strong technical foundation and the creativity to create unique versions of magic that fit and compliment her quirky personality.  Pre-pandemic Kayla was one of the Champions of Magic stars touring nationally and abroad.

Kayla created SHEZAM which she hosts and which produces regularly scheduled magic podcasts creating a reliable, responsible source and voice for women in magic and entertainment, embracing diversity and change. 

In her Magical Women talks Kayla provides much insight and humor about coping with the unexpected, working abroad and of course, performing magic in heels.  We hope that you enjoy her talks as much as we did chatting with her.
