"Eric Starkey is one of the real class acts in magic. He is not only great at amazing and entertaining an audience, but he does it with a high level of charm. You can't help but like him. A first class guy and a wonderful performer. You can't do better than Eric Starkey."
- Todd Robbins, Co-Producer of "Monday Night Magic" (New York, NY)
"Eric Starkey performed four classic sideshows a night during our Phantom Fright Nights at Kennywood Park. Eric had a tremendous stage presence and awed the audience by his illusions and feats of danger. He was definitely a great addition to our line up. I would highly recommend Eric Starkey for any company that is looking for a professional and entertaining show."
- Marie Ruby, Kennywood Park
"Eric Starkey was a joy to work with. He adapted easily to our fast changing environment, he was always on time, very dependable, versatile, and made the audiences smile. A pleasure on stage and off."
- Tommy Breen, The World of Wonders Sideshow
"Eric did an excellent job. I would be happy to use him again. He was accommodating, professional, and flexible to our needs."
- James K. Beebe DVM, Northview Animal Hospital
"You more than met the challenge of captivating an audience of 330 Associates whose ages ranged from 17 to 55+. The fact that all of upper management stayed through the entertainment portion (they haven't in the past) proved you were one of our best ever year-end events. Your "creative conjuring" amazed us and your interaction with such a mixed audience entertained all of us – from DC Floor Associates to Vice Presidents!"
- Sue Tylka, American Eagle Outfitters
"I want to thank you once again for performing at our Rapidigm Holiday Party in December. The feedback that I received from our employees and their guests was fantastic. In fact, the only negative comment that I heard from our group was they wished you could have stayed and entertained them longer!"
"As soon as we settle on a date for next year's party, I'd like to talk to you about performing for all of us "Rapidigmers" again."
- Rob Sagwitz, Director of Corporate Communications, Rapidigm Inc.
"Mr. Starkey entertained 450 guests on three floors of the History Center, amazing them with his magical abilities. His talents were greatly appreciated by all who attended our gala. We received many compliments about Mr. Starkey's performance and we are anxiously waiting to hear whether he will join us again next year."
- Cookie Roberson, Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center
"I have booked him as a close up magician for events all over the Washington, DC area. Because of the reputation of my event-services for providing magic performers and magic-related consulting for television, theatre and special events, it is always imperative that my performers are of a high caliber that will not only entertain, but also fully satisfy my clients, by working effectively and professionally within each individual environment. Eric Starkey has proven to be highly entertaining, reliable and fully professional in these situations. He is a natural at dealing with people, and always conducts himself with courtesy and respect."
"When I produced a regular theatrical venue for magic called 'Wednesday Wizardry', Eric was my choice for us as a member of our team. Great stand-up magicians often begin as great close-up magicians, and I see Eric as having a future in both genres. He's prompt, polished, and creative. Best of all, he keeps his audiences riveted. I would highly recommend Eric as an addition to any organization's special event."

"Eric provided a fantastic experience for our high school students attending prom. His performance consisted of two parts. First, he walked around the venue performing "street magic". He then performed a show for the entire crowd. He was enthralling and funny and involved the kids in his act. They loved it!"

"Eric was absolutely wonderful with our group of children, of various ages, at our son's 7th Birthday party! The children and adults were entertained and amazed the entire time that Eric was at the party. This is the day after the party and I have received many phone calls from friends and family saying how much that they enjoyed Eric and how the children are still talking about his show that he put on for us. I highly recommend Eric for children or adults. Everyone will leave amazed, entertained and with wonderful memories! "

"We hired Eric for our cub scout pack meeting for about 45 minutes. Eric arrived early and stayed later than he needed to: he was very accommodating! He did a q&a session for our scouts to talk about how he does some tricks and his own experience as a magician. It was a tough crowd at times but he handled everything with a sense of humor and the parents got a kick as well."
