When summer heat finally fades, fall drifts upon us and soon… the holiday season begins, starting with Halloween, a holiday which has been one of my favorites since childhood. As a professional magician in based in Burbank, it makes sense why I still love it: magic has always been associated with the supernatural themes of Halloween.
Here are 5 fun things I enjoy (and recommend) doing in Los Angeles during Halloween.
This year, I’ve specifically curated the list down to community attractions and events, because I’d like to showcase the wonderful dedication and hard work these great people do for the public.
I recommend all of these…
Favorite Halloween Events in Burbank…
“Haunted Adventure” at Starlight Bowl
This is an impressive maze constructed, decorated, designed and performed by volunteers of the Parks and Recreation Department. We attend just about every year. https://www.burbankca.gov/web/parks-recreation/halloween
“The Backwoods Maze” at 1912 N. Pepper St.
Imagine a walk-through maze with sets, visuals, props and actors that make you feel like you’re in a Hollywood movie… but in the backyard of someone’s house!
“The Clown House”
A completely immersive horror carnival scene in front of this house, complete with fog, music, animatronics and scares. https://burbankclownhouse.com
“Holiday Fantasies Come to Life” at 1505 N. Valley St.
A yard display that changes every Halloween, from the Wizard of Oz to Classic Monsters and then…. has a completely different display weeks later for Christmas! Check out their stunning combination of sound, lights, mannequins, miniatures and more.
And now, I’m especially happy to recommend something new to me…
Family Magic at Heritage Halloween in Simi Valley
https://www.simihistory.com/
This year, I was especially happy to be invited to present my high-energy Halloween stage magic show at Strathearn Historical Park. This family-friendly event allowed guests to step into the 1800s, and performing for a record turnout of 750 people was an absolute highlight of my season.
As a Los Angeles magician with over 10 years of professional experience, I was astounded by the wonderful gasps and laughter from the Simi Valley community.
I also got to meet Wednesday Addams!
Congratulations to the crew and my clients, Jeannie Liss and Nikki Bim on a successful event.
So, there are just a few of my community event recommendations for this season!

Whether you are planning a community festival in Simi Valley or a private Halloween party in Burbank, I’d love to help make your event unforgettable.
