The Story Behind Mo Magic

More Than Tricks. It’s About Connection.

I’m Mo — a New Haven magician who has spent decades learning that the best magic is not really about fooling people. It is about creating a moment they did not expect, sharing a laugh, and giving them a story they will remember.

Where It Started

It started with curiosity — and became an obsession.

My name is Kevin Mohan, though most people know me as Mo Magic. I grew up in Connecticut and discovered magic as a teenager.

Long before social media, Shorts, or viral videos, I spent countless hours practicing sleight of hand, studying books, working on timing, and learning something even more important: how to connect with people.

Cards and everyday objects were the tools, but the real lesson was always about people — how a few impossible seconds can break the ice, create laughter, and bring a room together.

Then Restaurants.
Private Events.
Real-World Experience.

Magic grew from a teenage passion into years of professional performance throughout Connecticut, New York, and the Tri-State area.

From the Archives

Before the algorithms, there were newspaper clippings.

These are pieces of the original Mo Magic story — years when restaurant performances, private events, word of mouth, and newspaper coverage built the reputation.

The Early Professional Years

Magic became much more than a hobby.

In my younger years I performed professionally full-time for several years, working restaurants, private events, and venues throughout Connecticut, New York, and the broader Tri-State area.

Those years taught me discipline, patience, timing, confidence, improvisation, and how to connect with people from every walk of life.

I also served as Past President of the Danbury Top Hatters, a local chapter of the Society of American Magicians.

Finding My Way Back

Life changed. So did the reason I perform.

Life eventually moved in other directions and magic stopped being the center of everything for a while.

When I found my way back to performing years later, I came back with a different perspective. When I was younger, magic was often about the performance. Today it feels more personal.

Less about fooling people. More about creating moments people actually remember.

That is the version of Mo Magic you see today — relaxed, interactive, human, and built around the people standing right in front of me.

New Haven is the stage.

Today you might find me performing at a private party, working a room at an event, creating a moment on the streets of New Haven, entertaining after church, or filming the reaction that becomes the next Mo Magic video.

Beyond the Magic

I build websites too.

Alongside Mo Magic, I founded CodeBreeze Solutions LLC, a New Haven web development, SEO, and digital marketing company focused on helping small businesses build a stronger online presence.

Magic and web development may look like two completely different worlds, but I approach both the same way: learn the craft, pay attention to the details, connect with people, and keep building.

The Philosophy

Magic is better when everyone feels part of it.

I do not want guests to remember that they watched a magician. I want them to remember the moment their friend screamed, the table started laughing, somebody's jaw dropped, and everyone forgot about their phones for a minute.
