Family magic for festivals, parks & private events
Northeastern Wisconsin

Hello, friends!

I'm Muffin the Wonder-Fish.

My buddy Hanneman is an amazing magician, but he doesn't quite believe it yet. That's where I come in to lend a fin! I'm helping him discover the true spirit of magic. Watch out as we make a big splash!

Muffin the Wonder-Fish peeking out of the top of the crate!

He found a crate of mysteries that changed his life. He tells the audience:

“I am on a journey to become a great magician…
and yet I still encounter many mysteries
that make me wonder!”

Muffin says: He's curious, scientific, and a little stubborn. I try to help. Some nights he still treats me like a prop that he found in the crate. We're working on that.

He's a two-time award winner at the time-honored Abbott's Stage Magic Contest. People come up on stage with us. Despite the misunderstandings, we've become a team. Muffin says: That's the real trick.

The crate, and the man who packed it

Muffin says: That box isn't just my dressing room.

It's packed with wonders from the Oaks Magical Company of Oshkosh: catalogs, ropes, and century-old mysteries.

John Harold Oaks, the Mighty Oaks, was a magician, an escape artist, and a traveler. We still attempt his rope escape, and bring other tricks back to life from over a hundred years ago. He left us too soon at twenty-nine, serving in the U.S. Navy during the Great War. Sharing these crates is how we rekindle his magic.

Muffin says: If you want to learn about his journey, swim over to oaksmagical.com.

Three years later

“This was SO fun and the kids still talk about it!”
