"Thanks, Judy! This was a daytime show for a law firm that planned fun activities for National Administrative Professionals Week. At 3:00 pm each day, they had a break with entertainment and snacks, and the staff really enjoyed it. The staff were in a fun mood and the informal setting allowed for lots of audience interaction and banter during the show. I had a blast! This type of in-house activity is a great idea for staff appreciation events and much more cost-effective than lunch (and drinks) at a restaurant. "

"Thanks, Georgie! This was a surprise 40th birthday party for her husband, with perhaps two dozens guests. After "SURPRISE!" they served appetizers, I did a 45-minute Parlor Magic Show, and then they served dinner. She planned it thoroughly and the whole thing went off perfectly. I really enjoyed meeting the guests, and the atmosphere was very relaxed, with lots of banter during the show. This style of magic is perfect for dinner parties of up to 50 people. Fun gig!"

"Thanks, Yong! This was a very special gig. Yong planned to propose to his girlfriend, and wanted me to do some close-up magic and then magically produce the engagement ring. We planned it very quickly, and the whole thing went off perfectly. Sherry was stunned when the ring appeared in her own hand, and thrilled to say yes (after nearly fainting)! They have asked me to perform at their wedding reception, and I can't wait! It is always a privilege to be involved in special moments, and something I take very seriously. What a fun way to cap off the year!"

"Thanks, Miguel! You arranged everything perfectly and made my part much easier! This was a very small corporate holiday party, perhaps a dozen people, in a private dining room at Co Co. Sala in Washington, DC. These very sophisticated, high-level executives and partners with Booz Allen Hamilton really enjoyed my Parlor Show and participated enthusiastically. I knew they'd be a fun group when they sang Christmas carols with gusto! This was a great experience and a perfect match of the right show for the group. "

"Thanks Anna! Anna's mother was celebrating a birthday ending in "0" and graciously turned it into a church fund raiser. The community is very warm and welcoming, and made me feel right at home. The children ranged from toddlers to teens and they, along with the adults, enjoyed the stage show. The stage version of my "That Was Amazing!" show is designed for an "all ages" family audience and this one included a special piece featuring the "birthday girl." Stage or platform magic shows for church, temple, school and Scout groups are great fun and can be an effective fund raiser - ask me!"

"Thanks, Bonnie! This was a party for a girl turning 8, which is a challenge because at this age, their sense of humor is still developing and they do NOT want to be treated like "kids"! Bonnie and I coordinated by phone and email to create the best party flow, and everything went smoothly. It is also worth noting that the children were very bright and full of energy, yet very well-behaved and focused during the show."

"Thanks, Allison! Your son is delightful and I'm sure he'll enjoy the magic book. You made sure we were in a room without food, decorations or toys during the show, which helped the children stay focused. You also had outdoor games and indoor crafts (magic hat decorating, "potion" making) going before the show and more activities after, which kept things flowing and directed the kids' energy in a positive way. Well done!"

"Thanks, Larry! You know it's going to be a fun backyard party when you arrive and you can hear the blues band (Flatfoot Sam) warming up, see the barbecue truck and smell the pig roasting. Nice people who work together and genuinely enjoy each others' company are a pleasure to entertain, and this was a great pleasure indeed. I look forward to performing at the school where your daughter teaches!"

"This was a picnic for families in an Air Force unit at Joint Base Andrews. What a fun bunch, and some of these airmen are incredible cooks! (I'll be watching for your BBQ restaurant in a few years!) Both of my parents were Naval officers, so I know what military families go through. That is why I do so many military events, especially for the families. If you are active duty or reserve military or know someone who is, I am happy to serve you!"
