About the Performer

Patrick Thernes is a Cincinnati-based producer, emcee, and magical entertainer known for

blending classic vaudeville flair with modern show craft. Onstage as Sir Pat-Trick, he co-creates and headlines The Variety Tricksters, a fast-paced act that weaves clean comedy, deft sleight-of-hand, and live vocals into a tightly paced cabaret experience, where the duo’s audience-forward format has become a local favorite.

A classically trained actor turned comedy–magic vaudevillian, Patrick’s craft was spotlighted at the International 2013 MAGIC Live! convention, where a dramatic reinvention of his stage persona drew industry attention and helped him achieve his longtime goal of performing at the world-famous Magic Castle in Los Angeles. Today, he balances performing with producing and consulting on show flow, pacing, and audience experience.

Offstage, Patrick co-produces Cincy Magic Night, a monthly series that showcases top magicians and introduces new audiences to live variety arts across the Cincinnati region. His work emphasizes collaboration, polished presentation, and welcoming, all-ages entertainment.
