Dreaming is the real magic.
Dreamcatcher-First People Stories
Dreamcatcher, is a one man show of Magical Adventures and Wonder Tales told through the lens of movement theater and modern storytelling. Leland is a tribal member of the Bad River Band of Chippewa and is proud to share stories given to his care by the storykeepers Tsonakwa, Whippoorwill Thompson,and the Anishanable oral tradition.
World of Wonder-A Family Concert
World of Wonder starring master mime, magician, and storyteller Leland Faulkner who has been hailed by presenters as a top ranked artist for more than twenty years. Hold on to your hats in preparation for an exciting, fun, and magical parade of wonderful characters. Imagine a fisherman on a comical quest to catch his dreams, watch shadows come to life using only a pair of hands, see the wise fool Nasruddin puzzle a shopkeeper with an invisible chicken, and journey to Old Japan with The Paper Folder.
This is your chance to witness the power of story, prestidigitation, and imagination in a performance that will fill audiences hearts with delight, and wonder.
Story and Magic join forces to share
Visions of Peace
In this performance you will hear soul expanding stories fabulously illustrated with visual mime, mask, and magic. From a boatman who argues with himself, to a magical tale of a place where people are never hungry, or in pain, a paradise with many names, Shangri La, Xanadu, Elysium, or even Shinriko. Then experience the teaching tale of a miser who loses his heart and compassion to satisfy his own greed in The Heart of Glass. Leland Faulkner has collected many of these stories from years of travel and meeting with storymakers and magicians from around the world, and although the cultures in different countries may have different points of view, in this performance they all share the concept of peace. Leland is happy that he can bring life to the stories that are a legacy for all of us, and honor the power of dreams, imagination, and peace no matter what we look like or where we are from.
Your Master of Ceremonies
Wally Wiggins!
The host with the most, the most hilarious, ridiculous, and sensationally silly. If Jerry Lewis and Jackie Gleason had a love child it would be Wally Wiggins, the most magical misfit in show business!
The perfect host for variety shows, conferences, and corporate events.

Testimonials
Leland Faulkner…. he was great. He did Troublewit, the art of creating designs and characters out of multi-layered folds of paper. He also knocked’em dead with Chapeaugraphy, the art of taking a ring of black felt, a few props, and impersonating many characters from a pirate to a cowboy to a baby and literally dozens of others. Don't miss a chance to see him if you can.
Thomas Ewing-NEMCA
Leland Faulkner…breathtakingly brilliant. I love his work; it's simple but not simplistic, driven by talent and personality rather than apparatus
Suzie Patterson-Anthropologist/Educator
Leland Faulkner was the highlight of the MAES Convention for me - better than any magician, better than any lecturer. He is the embodiment of true entertainment. I made it a point to tell him so and he was most appreciative. He is very talented, humble and most congenial.
Peter Cuddihy – Attorney and Magician
You are The Man of 1000 Faces! I had to convince a presenter that all the different characters were you! They had to be sure that they would get you, and not one of the other characters… which are all you!
Betsy DuBois-Betsy DuBois Talent Agency
Leland offers a performance that is unmatched and impeccable in its quality and uniqueness. He is a true artist that entrances all ages and audiences.
Marge Ghilarducci-The Ghilarducci Agency
Leland is perhaps one of the most entertaining and inspiring individuals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. A great performer and mentor, there are few people who manage to enjoy life and work the way Leland does. It was with great pleasure I worked directly with Leland on a project called Dark Tales, a large team-effort production and easily the most fun I've ever had on stage. Leland's abilities as a leader, director, instructor and team-player are outstanding and remain a constant source of inspiration to those of us who have worked with him
Emil Lamprecht - CMO at CareerFoundry, Berlin, Germany
Leland Faulkner belongs to “The World of Art” all the way. He is an incredible entertainer in one hand and a deep artist with an enormous imagination on the other. His views in visual arts are simply spellbinding. Besides, he is a very inspiring and an eye-opening mentor. With his huge intellectuality and cultural richness, he helped me to realize some things that I couldn't so far about my job. His perfectionism brings him great success in what he does. Moreover, he is completely an easy-going professional who constantly gives positive energy to his environment.
Anil Sepetçi - Actor, academician, Ankara University, Turkey
Your performance yesterday was a true gift to the young people and the adults in the audience. It was a tremendous experience for them and one they will remember it for the rest of their lives.
In terms of education, your performance provided so many possibilities for both educators and students. If so inclined, teachers may find sufficient materials on your website and examples in your performance for a year's worth of instruction. (The word "exciting" is overused, and I resist using it; but--Yes!--you offer some exciting educational opportunities.)
I am satisfied that my 42 years as an arts educator in classrooms, performance venues and administration lend credibility to my comments. I am qualified to say that your work is a model to which other artists and arts educators may well aspire. Thank you for what you gave our children yesterday!
Claudia N. Davidsen - Hillsborough County Public Schools, Performing Arts Field Trip program, Tampa, FL
The Friday night gala was perfectly hosted by Leland Faulkner. Leland is a highly talented performer and made the perfect MC sharing display of his shadowgraphy, the most logical presentation of Professor Cheers Comedy Rope” and the most beautiful Chapeaugraphy act I have ever seen.
