Big Joey Magic Showy | Larger-Than-Life Custom Magic Experiences

Joseph “Big Joey Magic Showy” DiPietro is a full-time professional magician, educator, consultant, and recognized authority in magic education, performance, and audience engagement, with more than 30 years of experience serving Florida’s families, schools, businesses, and communities.

His journey began at the age of eight when he discovered that magic could transform the challenges of ADHD and OCD into something positive and purposeful. What started as a childhood fascination quickly became a lifelong calling. While many people learn magic as a hobby, Joseph became captivated by understanding every aspect of the art—not only how magic works, but why it creates wonder, builds confidence, and connects people.

By sixteen, Joseph was performing professionally at Annie’s Costume & Magic. By eighteen, he was managing The Wizard’s Apprentice Magic Shop in Hollywood, Florida, where he spent countless hours studying, teaching, and refining his craft. At nineteen, he committed to magic as a full-time profession, beginning a career that has since included more than 5,000 performances for audiences of all ages.

Alongside his performing career, Joseph spent 15 years in hospitality and guest experience management at the world-renowned Hard Rock Casino organization. Rising through multiple leadership roles—from dealer to management—he developed a deep understanding of customer service, audience psychology, team leadership, and the creation of memorable guest experiences. This unique combination of hospitality expertise and performance artistry continues to influence every aspect of his work today.

Over the past three decades, Joseph has built a reputation not simply as a performer, but as a specialist in creating meaningful experiences through the art of magic. While many entertainers focus primarily on tricks and illusions, Joseph has dedicated his career to mastering the deeper elements that make a performance unforgettable: psychology, storytelling, communication, audience engagement, and human connection. His performances are carefully crafted experiences designed to inspire wonder, create laughter, and leave lasting memories.

That commitment to excellence has allowed him to serve an incredibly diverse range of audiences, including schools, libraries, camps, corporations, country clubs, resorts, community organizations, houses of worship, special-needs programs, and private events throughout Florida. His ability to connect with audiences across generations has made him one of the state’s most trusted and sought-after entertainers.

Joseph is also the founder of the Magic 4 All Academy, an educational program dedicated to making the art of magic accessible to students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Through camps, workshops, after-school programs, private instruction, and specialized educational experiences, the Academy has served thousands of students throughout Florida.

The Magic 4 All Academy uses magic as a vehicle for developing confidence, communication skills, creativity, critical thinking, patience, responsibility, and personal growth. While students learn astonishing effects and performance techniques, the true focus extends far beyond tricks. The program is designed to help young people discover their potential, overcome challenges, and develop skills that benefit them throughout their lives.

Joseph has earned particular recognition for his work with special-needs audiences, adapting lessons and performances to meet a wide variety of learning styles and abilities. His commitment to inclusion reflects the Academy’s core belief that every person deserves the opportunity to experience success, wonder, and self-confidence.

His accomplishments include becoming an International Close-Up Champion, earning multiple Best of Florida awards, receiving more than 120 verified five-star reviews, and mentoring countless aspiring performers. Beyond his work with the public, Joseph is frequently consulted by fellow magicians seeking guidance on performance structure, audience engagement, scripting, psychology, show design, and the development of stronger professional acts. His ability to analyze and elevate performances has made him a valued resource for entertainers looking to take their craft to the next level.

For more than 30 years, Joseph DiPietro has invested in Florida—its children, its families, its schools, and its communities. If most entertainers focus solely on performance, Joseph has dedicated his life to understanding, teaching, and advancing the art behind it. That commitment to excellence, education, hospitality, and service continues to define everything he does today.

Whether he is performing for hundreds of guests, teaching a room full of students, consulting with fellow performers, or inspiring a child to believe in the impossible for the very first time, his mission remains unchanged: to create moments of wonder that remind people that anything is possible.
