An hilarious, clean, family style comedian who just happens to be really good at performing award winning sleight of hand magic with rope, coins, rings, and lots of gentle audience participation.
50 years experience - over 20,000 shows
El Ropo is an hilarious character act with 25 years experience in comedy clubs performing clean standup and now performing as an award winning magician as well. VERY funny, and lots of gentle audience participation. You get a double edge here - more fascinating than any other comedian and funnier than any other magician. And, as an added bonus, if you become my client by booking El Ropo, you will always have guest passes to the Magic Castle in Hollywood (-;

Phil is a national treasure!
He is a true master at his craft.
He's one of the few people that can be placed in front of any audience from kids to board members and he will absolutely amaze them and delight them. Book him for any of your events and you will never be disappointed.

El Ropo is not only an incredible magician and comic, but an even better person to boot. His geniality, verve, kindness, and craft are in a class of their own. Truly a one of one performer who delights with hours of original material ranging from card tricks, rope magic, sleight of hand, comedy and so much more. I kid you knot, El Ropo performed for our party for four straight hours without repeating a bit. I can't wait for my next visit to the magic castle to see the man, myth, and legend again. As they say in the biz, El Ropo is a god!

El Ropo came out during LA Fleet Week to entertain the troops and he was great! He brought so much fun and energy to the pier and the service members absolutely loved it. We can't wait to have him come to another event!!

I've had the great pleasure of watching El Ropo perform on 3 separate occasions. If you've never seen him perform you are in for a treat. For starters, El Ropo is bar none the best rope magician I've ever seen in person or TV/internet. On top of his elite sleight of hand, El Ropo is also among the funniest magicians I've come across. His super dry witty humor made our group laugh out loud several times throughout his set. He's got the perfect lackadaisical tone to go along with his charming humor and incredible skill set. That tone makes him very unassuming, but don't be fooled, he is an A+ trickster haha. Although the ropes are his specialty, El Ropo is also fantastic with other magic mediums as well, such as cards, cup and balls etc. Taking a look and his enormous hands, and it's no wonder he chose magic as his profession. Last thing, El Ropo is an extremely friendly gentleman, both adults and kids will love his humor and genuine kindness.

Phil Van Tee, "EL ROPO", was the hit of our work celebration. I am a Director of Technology for a local school district and wanted to do something special for my crew. I had seen El Ropo at the Magic Castle previously and he made his business card magically appear in my pocket after I enjoyed a great show of magic and humor at the Castle.
As mentioned, I wanted to do something special for my team, but I must admit I was a little apprehensive because hey, "you never know with techie adults" what is going to go over well. As soon as Phil arrived, my apprehensions disappeared. Phil went from small group to small group winning each group over one-at-a-time like... can I say it.... magic. He is funny, engaging and enjoys sharing his craft. He even had the crustiest technicians on our team laughing and mystified.
I would proudly recommend Phil to anyone that wants to do something special for someone special to them.

If you're thinking of hiring a magician for an event or a wedding, THIS IS THE GUY FOR YOU. We hired El Ropo for our wedding day, and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. He was hilarious, so clever with his magic tricks, and knew how to work a room. Everyone was thoroughly entertained and amazed by his performance. He is a magician who knows how to put on a great show. We met him first at the Magic Castle earlier this year, and since then, he has been very professional and excellent in communication prior to our event. He was very easy to work with, an absolute hit at the wedding, and just all around a great genuine human being. You won't regret hiring him, and we look forward to seeing his shows again. Thank you again El Ropo!!!
