* ''Webcomic/CirqueRoyale'' has Kingston Klownikov. His tricks aren't just for show, though he has some of them; because of his being mixed with both mime and clown, he has talents of both races and can make illusions of anything he thinks of with his voice and mind.

Almost AlwaysMale -- at least, the person whose name is on the marquee. However, the [[LovelyAssistant assistants]] (almost AlwaysFemale) are also trained professionals. Woe betides anyone who tries to RummageFail through their possessions. A skilled one will usually perform tricks that [[ImpossiblyAwesomeMagicTrick are impossible in real life]], which is handwaved by simply saying a magician never reveals his secret.

* ''Film/LostInAHarem'': Peter and Harvey's act at the Café of All Nations is as a pair of stage magicians. Unfortunately, they aren't very good at it, and the audience hates their performance (in part because Harvey keeps insisting on doing the same trick, covering two items with a pair of identical canisters and "magically" switching them back and forth, over and over again).

* Michael Carbonaro of ''Series/TheCarbonaroEffect'' is a sleight-of-hand artist with a twist -- instead of being on stage, he performs his tricks while in disguise on the streets or in various businesses and pretends to be as shocked and confused by his own antics as the people he deals with.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': The Fontaine Archon Quest introduces Lyney, an up-and-coming stage magician who's already made quite a name for himself in Fontaine, with his twin sister Lynette acting as his LovelyAssistant. While the twins both have [[MagiciansAreWizards real magic in the form of their Visions]], their performance at the Opera Epiclese opens with both setting their Visions aside, making it clear that the {{Impossibly Awesome Magic Trick}}s being performed are simply clever sleight of hand and carefully hidden props. Years prior to the game's events, the two were {{Street Urchin}}s who used their magic tricks to earn enough Mora to survive and kept their skills sharp even after being adopted by "Father" (actually [[spoiler:the Fatui Harbinger Arlecchino]]).
