The Gen Z Magician That’s Captivating Orlando Audiences: Noah Fay

Meet Noah Fay, a rising star in the world of magic. Based in Orlando, Noah has been captivating audiences with his mesmerizing performances and his passion for card magic. In this interview, Noah shares his journey into the world of magic and how he’s making a name for himself in the industry.

Noah’s interest in magic began in fifth grade when a friend showed him a rope trick and a card-to-plastic bag trick. “I then spent hours on YouTube learning,” he says. The first “move” he learned was a flourish by magician Lennart Green, an advanced sleight-of-hand technique that he admits was difficult for a beginner. But he persevered, and as he continued to learn and practice, every trick after that seemed easy to him.

Two magicians who were instrumental in Noah’s early years of learning magic were Eric Yuhasz and Kostya Kimlat. Eric Yuhasz was Noah’s teacher in middle school and led the school’s magic club, so Eric became an early magic teacher and influence for him. Eric is now also a member of the See Magic Live team. As for Kostya Kimlat, he is the CEO of See Magic Live and the team’s magician-leader. Noah says that he learned stage presence, structuring routines, audience management and so much more from both of them.

Noah’s time on the See Magic Live team dates back to 2016. “My dad reached out to Kostya on LinkedIn and asked him if we could meet,” he says. Kostya was impressed with the teenage magician and began inviting him to join the team at their charity appearances. Noah quickly proved himself as a professional, talented performer and soon was appearing at all kinds of business and social events.

Noah’s favorite kind of magic to perform is card magic, which he says he connected with the best. “It helps me connect to the audience better,” he explains. Since joining the team, Noah has had numerous live performance opportunities which have significantly improved his magic.
