Feedback

  • Mr. Kellogg was extremely professional and was wonderful working with our military community. His willingness to ensure his performance was available for our event was truly amazing. The audience enjoyed his show tremendously and I would highly recommend James for other events needing a fun and unique show. Thank you James for everything. -- Peggy N, Fort Irwin, CA, 7/4/2010
  • Ms. Theresa Smith was very good at handling logistics for the show. She answered emails timely and made sure that everything was taken care of to have the show on Hopi. From the many comments I have had from those who attended, it was very entertaining and funny! Everyone seemed to have a great time and are still laughing about this great show! To Mr. Kellog Jr. I want to thank you personally for a great time and for lifting our spirits! As people we always need a great laugh to keep us going in our daily lives. Thanks for closing our cancer conference out with much laughter and happiness! -- Lori J, Kykotsmovi, AZ, 3/31/2010
  • James was extremely professional and accommodating. I booked him for my wife's 30th birthday party. We had all age groups in attendance and James did an excellent job directing a show that was appropriate for all ages. His performance was wonderful and my guests had a great time. Thanks James. -- Ryan E, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, 6/21/2008
  • James was perfect for our audience. He kept the show moving and everyone laughing. We couldn't believe it was over so fast. James was very professional and took care of everything including the sound. This was a big change for our family night from bingo and everyone really enjoyed the show. We will definately have him back again! -- Linda B, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, 3/25/2010
  • James is a great hypnotist and tailored his show to our most conservative parent's wishes for grad nite. The audience was totally engaged with the performance and didn't want the show to end. Almost everyone who went on stage was able to be hypnotized along with a couple of kids in the audience. I'd hire James again in a minute for any event -- Carol M, Fremont, CA, 6/20/2008
  • Everyone loved the show, He performed in front of several hundred high school students at a time and kept everyone entertained the entire show. I would definitely consider having him to do another show in the future. -- Lauren H, Valencia, CA, 2/10/2010
  • James was an amazing performer - professional, organized, friendly, and accommodating. We had a problem with our sound system, and he generously offered his equipment, then worked with us to set everything up. We expected him to go on at 9 p.m., but the kids were ready to go 40 minutes earlier. James enthusiastically offered to fill in the time and go on earlier. He also provided a list of "topics" for the show and gave us examples of the language and "humor" used in the show so there were no surprises. We would absolutely recommend this performer for a school event because you will have a full understanding of the show contents before he even takes the stage. -- Lynette C, Manhattan Beach, CA, 6/19/2008
  • I was very satisfied. Not ever haven seen his performance, and only relying on the website and comments,I was a little scared. It turned out great. The hardest part was to get people to volunteer. Theresa, James secretary, was very very helpful, and was a big part of why I chose James. -- Katie H, San Diego, CA, 12/6/2009
  • James was very personable and professional. James had a TOUGH crowd full of Police detectives. Not many volunteered to go up. He worked hard to get them to relax and the few that went were fun to watch! He put on a Great show! -- Tammy W, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, 5/31/2008
  • The show was awesome the kids loved it. He made it so much fun. -- Rebecca D, Gilroy, CA, 6/11/2010
  • We loved the show, and would recommend him to anyone needing entertainment. -- Randi B, Tustin, CA, 5/27/2008
  • The kids had a great time! Evan after the adrenalene let down of graduation an hour long bus drive food and entertainment for 2 hours before James performed he left them yelling for more! He did a great job and was very accomadating for our group. Job well done! -- Laura M, Jefferson City, MO, 5/22/2008
  • Mr. Kellogg was extremely professional, both in manner and appearance. He was thorough with his explanation about the preparations and the initial induction process. He was open to suggestions and flexible with adapting to the ballroom's set-up. His performance was outstanding. He began with a quick narrative of the process and then went to work immediately with the volunteers. He was very alert to the signs given out by volunteers and if any person gave off an indication that s/he was uncomfortable or was not able to "go under," Mr. Kellogg immediately responded as needed. He was sensitive to the audience and played well to the crowd. He was aware of potential subject limitations and was good with his time. We would definitely consider Mr. Kellogg for future corporate events. -- Michael G, Pasadena, CA, 12/16/2006
  • James is extremely professional and very easy to deal with - he also has an office assistance who is very responsive to any questions that may come up. A. -- (Unspecified) K, Vista, CA, 4/30/2008
  • Mr. Kellogg was a pleasure to work with, he was professional and fun! He was great, and seemed to adapt well to the audience he was working with. -- Courtney P, Fairbanks, AK, 4/17/2008
  • James performed at my husbands 50th surprise birthday party and was absolutely wonderful. We had many more people come to the party than we were expecting which caused his performance area to shrink but he was very kind and accomodating about it. He just took a tiny area and made it into a wonderfully hilarious show. He was professional and patient and very easy to work with, as well as his assistant Theresa, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again so much, James. -- Kim F, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, 4/12/2008
  • James Kellogg performed for a our Mandalay Travel Club motorhome rally in Hemet,Ca on March 4,2008. It was the funniest evenings entertainment that we have ever had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- James L, Hemet, CA, 3/4/2008
  • Great! thanks so much! -- Hailey H, Salt Lake City, UT, 2/9/2008
  • James was a great performer, not only that he made the hiring process easy. The crowd loved him and we are definitely thinking about hiring him for future shows! -- Suki C, La, CA, 1/31/2008
  • We had a great time! James provided us a very hilarious show. We didn't have as big as a crowd for the show that we had for dinner, but I can tell you he made it so worth staying and for those of us who stayed, well we had the best time of the evening - the show Janmes put on for us! I think we will be talking about this performance for years to come, even at our future company events!!!!!!! -- Rose F, San Diego, CA, 12/16/2007
  • Great show and great guy- hope to use him again... -- Leslie W, San Diego, CA, 12/15/2007
  • James'show was engaging, funny, and very entertaining for our audience, which ranged from young 22 year old engineers to our senior management. With a group as varied as this, his show was the perfect solution to capture everyone’s interest and provide entertainment that I’m still hearing discussed at our office! I would definitely recommend James'show for other corporate venues, and would be interested in having him provide entertainment for future events. -- Tracey C, Carlsbad, CA, 12/15/2007
  • James was great. He was very entertaining and kept the audience laughing. I would highly recommend him. -- Krista M, Pomona, CA, 12/9/2007
  • James Kellogg put on an AMAZING show for 2 dozen 17-18 year-olds in my home! He was incredibly accomodating and entertaining. The very jaded crowd of teenagers still hasn't stopped talking about the party. No alcohol to fuel their fun, and these teenagers were MESMERIZED! I'm hoping for an excuse to throw another party for this crowd, because I am the hero mom who gets all the kudos for throwing a great party, and I owe it all to James Kellogg Jr! -- Mary G, San Diego, CA, 12/4/2007
  • James was Great!! He was a wonderful touch to a great evening. Would be sure to use James talents again if we have the chance. He made our party the talk of the week. -- Kimberlee H, Carlsbad, CA, 12/2/2007
  • My friends loved the whole show! They were talking about how they were going to go to school and tell everyone about. It really made my birthday. -- Darcy G, San Diego, CA, 11/17/2007
  • FABULOUS -- Monique N, Riverside, CA, 10/17/2007
  • James was very proffesional and put on a great show. He was very easy to talk to and was very friendly. I recomend James Kellogg Jr. for your event. -- Ed W, San Bernardino, CA, 10/2/2007
  • I would definitely recommend. His office staff is professional and helpful pre-show. I hired for my daughter's Sweet 16 show. James Kellogg interacted so well with all ages from 10 to 76! I want to have another party so we can hire him all over again! -- Tammy D, Corona, CA, 9/28/2007
  • He was absolutely fantastic and was a great performer for our sorority. His humor was just perfect for our age range and really got everyone laughing histerically. I would definately recommend him for any event. He was very flexible with our venue and the amount of people we had. Thanks -- Angela G, Alta Loma, CA, 9/22/2007
  • James provided card tricks at an exhibit that we sponsored. Our objective was to attract as many individuals to our booth. He did a terrific job of accomplishing our objective. He was punctual, professional and delivered 110%. -- Paula K, San Diego, CA, 6/25/2007
  • James Kellogg was the highlight of our grad night event. Just when the graduates were getting restless, Mr. Kellogg showed up and put on a hysterical show. His show was tasteful as well as funny. He was on time, and was able to perform his show in a very limited space. And when our teens would heckle and get a little unruly, he handled them with grace and respect. We have already received requests from the kids to have him back next year, and some have requested his performance at their own parties. I highly recommend James Kellogg. We will be scheduling future dates with him! -- Tracy S, Anaheim, CA, 6/3/2007
  • My experience with James Kellogg Jr. was extremely organized and pleasant. The students really enjoyed the show, and I would recomend him very highly! -- Danielle H, Mission Viejo, CA, 4/27/2007
  • James Kellogg is not only one of the most entertaining people an event planner could ever put on a stage, he is absolutely the most gracious, accommodating, low-maintenance and genuinely nice artist! Performing for over 2,000 Marines and their families, Mr. Kellogg adjusted his show so that he could use more guys on stage (from 15-32!) and managed to grab the attention of everyone away from Dunk Booths and Bounce Houses and all sorts of other distractions, with the most hilarious hypnosis show I've ever seen. He was, without a doubt, the highlight of our event and I would highly recommend him, as well as use him again at the next possible opportunity. I truly cannot think of enough wonderful things to say about him! The feedback from guests has been amazing! Bravo!!! -- Cindy C, Oceanside, CA, 3/10/2007
  • Everyone really enjoyed the show. We've hired him for a second event in a couple of weeks and, since I was hypnotized last time, I'm looking forward to watching the show the second time around. GREAT SHOW!!! -- Stephanie C, Birmingham, AL, 2/22/2007
  • Our Hypnotist was wonderful. He was easy to work with and I only heard possative comments reguarding the show. Everyone was amazed and totally entertained by the show. We would recommend this entertainment to everyone and we will do it again! -- Mavis M, Parker, CO, 2/22/2007
  • Mr. Kellogg is an excellent performer and hypnotist. Our daughter will have wonderful memories of her sixteenth birthday that she will never forget. Two days later , she is, and her friends are still talking about it. Bravo to Mr. Kellogg. -- Jeannine M, Carlsbad, CA, 2/16/2007
  • James Kellog Jr. was the key to success at my event. His hypnosis brought tears to the audience because it was so funny! If I were ever to have another gathering like this, there is no question of who I would want to be my entertainer: James Kellog Jr. Oh and I would like to leave my experience with this final note. At first I was a skeptic of hypnosis, NOW I believe! -- Chris M, Tustin, CA, 2/7/2007
  • I've seen James twice now and I absolutely love the show! We had him come for a sorority bid night and the whole chapter was very entertained. The show is a great, fun, comfortable environment for all ages. I definitely recommend him to anyone! -- Christina I, San Diego, CA, 1/28/2007
  • He was outstanding! He was professional and absolutely entertaining. We appreciate his accommodations to the crowd and sensitivity to the event. We would love to have him again. Monday morning buzz is still out there about how great his show was. Thanks! -- Joseanna T, Brooks, CA, 1/27/2007
  • I was very nervous in coordinating our Annual Awards and Motivation Seminar for my very first time for a group of 500. I was asked to look into finding a Hypnotist so I went on line and started my search. The very first website I clicked on was GIGMasters. I called two different people and both responded very quickly through GIGMasters site. I called Mr. Kellogg and spoke with his secretary who was very polite and easy to work with. When I mentioned the company I work for, she said, "You know, we're performing at Knott's Berry Farm next week for your Marketing Group's Christmas Party." What are the chances?! I had no idea we had booked Mr. Kellogg for another division of our company. I had the privilege of seeing his stage performance before I booked him. I came back to work the next day and let my boss know that I thought it would be a good idea to book him. I didn't get a response from my boss until two weeks before the event and called back to speak with Mr. Kellogg's secretary and though it was short notice they were able to work with us. When Mr. Kellogg arrived I was frantic trying to get everything worked out for the next part of the event and he immediatley put me at ease. I sat directly behind my boss and his daughter during Mr. Kellogg's performance and they laughed the entire time. In fact, the entire Performing Arts Hall was in hysterics. I was nervous because my boss was very clear in what he wanted and what he didn't want and I knew he meant business. After the show I had several people asking for his phone number. Even the stage production company asked for his number. Needless to say I took a stack of his cards which I'll be sending out to all of our offices and the vendors we booked for the event. It was a huge success! I couldn't be happier. The feedback I've received from our 15 offices has been that this was the best seminar out of the 11 that we've had. Everyone really like him. Thank you so much for bringing him to us. -- Brandy B, Irvine, CA, 1/16/2007
  • James was totally professional and extremely accommodating. He was always smiling and he knew how to handle the audience and the volunteers. He looked like he was having more fun than we were, if that is possible--I could tell how much he enjoys his works. And I cannot express how much the party goers enjoyed him and his show--we were laughing the whole evening. I would definitely recommend him to others having a similar event. Because I had spoken with James prior to the event, I would have expected him to be as he was on the phone---delightful. Thanks so much, Michelle Sarnoff -- Michelle S, Newport Beach, CA, 12/8/2006
  • James Kellogg, Jr's performance exceeded my expectations in every category. He was easily accessible by phone or email, his scheduler was very efficient and warm, I was able to speak with James Kellogg on the phone several times regarding the special circumstances of my venue and special needs. He arrived very early for my event, and handled all of his equipment and setup so I didn't need to stress in any way, he was very professional and just a great guy...the list goes on and on! Most importantly, he put on a spectacular performance for my husband's 50th Birthday Party, which was an intimate group of friends and family I've heard nothing but "rave reviews" from all who attended and volunteered. The most amazing thing to me was that he actually had complete control over my 3 kids under hypnosis, that I could only DREAM of! I need to learn his tricks! I would hire him again for any event! And I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good time. The best part is that it's obvious that he loves his job, and loves to entertain! A satisfied customer, L.Kaufman -- Lory K, Mission Viejo, CA, 11/10/2006
  • James had the funniest show ever! We had a huge sports assembly and everyone just loved it! I never laughed so hard in all my life! Rikki -- Rikki A, Palm Desert, CA, 9/29/2006
  • Great Show!!!!!! -- Roberto R, Temecula, CA, 9/28/2006
  • James Kellogg Jr. is talented and halarious! He was wonderful to work with and kept the audience laughing throughout the entire show. He promised me that my friend's and family would love the show, weeks have passed, and they are still ranting and raving about how awesome he was! He has a perfect balance of being professional and funny. He was on time and was flexible in waiting for the birthday boys to arrive for their surprise party. I will definitely be passing the word around about James Kellogg Jr. and plan on using him for future parties and events!! -- Cherisse L, Riverside, CA, 9/16/2006

  • I want to express my complete satisfaction for the performance of James Kellogg. My previous feedback should be recanted and this feedback put in it's place. I am sorry if this caused any problems for Mr. Kellogg as he was a true professional and I will not hesitate to use his services or Gigmaster for a future events. I really appreciated the quick response to all of my questions or concerns from Mr. Kellogg's office and staff. -- Cheryl H, La Mirada, CA, 6/18/2008
  • James was absolutely WONDERFUL!! He had the audience in hysterics for the entire show!! I received numerous phone calls and emails the next day from friends who attended the party and they ALL raved about James' show and starting giggling all over again!
