At age 13, Oz Pearlman fell in love with magic. While on a cruise with his family, he was brought on stage and witnessed the miracle known as “the sponge balls.” How in the world could one ball transform into three while squeezed so tightly in his hand? That trick, and the sleepless night that followed it, set in motion years of tireless study. For Oz, all things magic became his life. If you bumped into Oz anytime between the ages of 13 and 23, he almost certainly had a deck of cards in hand and coins rolling up and down his fingers. By age 14, Oz landed his first steady gig at a local Italian restaurant in Farmington Hills, Michigan. There, he discovered his passion for amazing audiences with his abilities.
While magic was his passion, Oz earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan in 2003. After college, Oz worked in Merrill Lynch’s global technology services department. At that time, he was only performing magic and mentalism as a part-time profession. However, when he was hired to deliver a corporate entertainment show to upper management within the company, he quit his full-time job at Merrill Lynch to focus on being a full-time entertainer.
Over the years his focus went beyond sleight of hand magic and into mentalism, learning from the legends in the field while also creating his own original techniques. Now, Oz Pearlman is one of the biggest names in magic. His tricks astound corporate and private audiences around the world.
Think of it as “magic of the mind.” Rather than utilizing sleight of hand and fast fingers, mentalism requires a deep knowledge of human behavior. It combines a multitude of techniques including the art of suggestion, subliminal messaging, body language reading, statistical analysis, and neurolinguistic programming. Every show is different because every person is different, adding to the element of excitement and surprise at Oz’s performances.
In the summer of 2015, Oz was featured on TV’s #1-rated show, America’s Got Talent. Week after week, he captivated the country with never-before-seen mentalism routines and quickly became a fan favorite, finishing in third place out of thousands of acts. He also returned as a contestant in America’s Got Talent: The Champions. Oz has appeared on a variety of national and international networks, with over 100 television appearances to his name.
After AGT, Oz joined an elite group of illusionists, including David Blaine and David Copperfield, earning a TV special on a major national network. The NBC show, Oz Knows, was about Pearlman traveling to various tourist attractions and performing mentalism. With its rave reviews, the show earned Oz an Emmy Award.
In August 2023, he appeared on HBO Hard Knocks and performed for the New York Jets. Stories about this appearance were featured in Sports Illustrated, Esquire, USA Today, GQ, ESPN, Bleacher Report, New York Post, and many other media publications. In July 2023, Pearlman was also a featured performer for the ESPY Awards on ESPN.
When he’s not entertaining, Oz is making headline news as an avid marathon and ultra-marathon runner instead. In 2022, Oz was featured on the cover of the New York Times after breaking the world record for most miles ever run around Central Park in a single day (116), while raising over $100,000 for the Save the Children’s Ukraine Relief Fund. Later that same year, he broke the record for the fastest crossing of Long Island by foot, running from Montauk to Manhattan in 21 hours. Oz has also completed grueling races such as the Badwater 135 Miler, Hawaii Ironman World Championships, Western States 100, and Spartathlon.
