Digital Deception Biography

Digital Deception is a cutting-edge magic duo that merges the world of illusion with the technology we use every day. Created by renowned magicians Doug McKenzie and Ryan Oakes, the show offers a highly interactive and engaging experience where audiences don't just watch magic—they become a part of it. Since March 2020, McKenzie and Oakes have performed in over 800 virtual events globally, captivating audiences through text messaging, emails, phone calls, and digital imagery. Their innovative magic works seamlessly across any virtual platform, making it an ideal entertainment option for online conferences, meetings, and social events.

In addition to their virtual performances, Digital Deception continues to wow live audiences across the nation with their customizable stage shows. They specialize in using modern technology—mobile phones, social media, GPS, and even drones—to create mind-bending illusions that feel fresh and relevant. Whether performing in-person or virtually, McKenzie and Oakes are experts at capturing attention and keeping participants engaged, a skill that is increasingly valuable in today's hybrid and virtual environments.

Digital Deception’s virtual magic show is designed to engage large audiences, whether as a meeting kickoff, session break, or integrated throughout a webinar. From their offices in New York, Doug and Ryan produce memorable, fast-paced, and family-friendly shows that bring people together in shared, interactive experiences. They have become a go-to choice for corporate hosts looking to differentiate their virtual events and keep clients, customers, and teams fully engaged. With magic that takes place on-screen and in participants' hands, their performances guarantee audience involvement and entertainment.

The duo’s expertise in hybrid events, which engage both in-person and virtual audiences simultaneously, has made them industry leaders in this space. Doug and Ryan were even invited to speak at Zoomtopia, Zoom's annual user conference in 2021, where they shared their approach to making hybrid meetings a success. Digital Deception offers a creative solution to the challenge of keeping diverse audiences engaged, ensuring that no one is just watching—everyone is a part of the magic.
