‘I’m Weird, but I Get Results’: Have You Met This Wizard on the Subway?

Devin Person, 33, works at Squarespace in Manhattan. He also works as a self-proclaimed professional wizard.
"In New York, a city where anyone can be anything, Devin Person is a self-proclaimed professional wizard. On a Sunday afternoon in his Brooklyn neighborhood, Greenpoint, Mr. Person — looking more Merlin than Harry Potter, with his plush robe and scraggly white beard — led about three dozen people in meditation. He encouraged them to 'sample the flavors and energy of each cloud formation as if you were walking around Costco’s different free sample stations,' to float 'like Michael Phelps diving into the pool' and to wear a smile 'like the sun on the Raisin Bran box.' As a modern 'wizard,' Mr. Person, 33, holds group sessions, like the recent meditation and Wizarding Hour in Greenpoint. ... He generally charges $150 for a one-on-one meeting, or $400 to $500 to create a ritual, but sometimes offers services pro bono. ..."
