"We have hired two magicians from Gigmasters in the past. The first one was pretty good(just OK) and the second one was lousy so we were a little hesitant hiring another one. We just had John Carlson at our Family Picnic/birthday party and I can not tell you how pleased we were. He performed for all the different ages and adults. Today, the day after my party two of my guests called and asked for his phone number. Everyone was amazed at his performance and my sister inlaw was crying she was laughing so hard. John was very professional as he called me and emailed me to reconfirm(setting my mind at ease). I can't say enough...don't hesitate to hire John Carlson!"

"The magic show was a HUGE success! The interaction with ALL of the guest; the humor from beginning to end was well worth every bit of the price! John arrived promptly as we discussed and the SHOW was a HUGE hit! I will use him again "forsure"! My sons first birthday party was an experience that NO ONE will forget! I am so happy that I did not hire a "clown". John did everything that he spoke about and then some! My husband and I will not perform another event without searching for John or someone else on Gigmasters. Thank you for making our sons First Birthday a huge success!"

"John Carlson's performance in one word: AWESOME!! His presence and show made the party extra special, the kids loved him!! And the parents equally did as well, he was wonderful with all the children, and at the end of his performance made them all animal balloons that they simply were thrilled about. He arrived and set-up on time and was very professional and thorough. I received many compliments from both the children and the adults. Everyone really enjoyed his show and I appreciate his work very much. I would highly recommend him for any event that you would like to add some fun entertainment to. "

"Great performance. I hired John to perform magic for my five year old daughter's birthday party. We had lots of young children and their parents. The children had a wonderful time and were facinated with the magic tricks, animals, puppet, and balloon creations. (Although some were afraid of the "invisible" flea. Go figure.) The parents raved and enjoyed John's humor geared towards the adults. John helped to make the party a great success. Most importantly, he made my daughter feel extra special by making her part of the show and she had the best time. Well worth the money and I would highly recommend.
The party was two weeks ago, and people are still talking about it.

"We had John perform at our duaghter's 1st birthday party on May 20, 2006. He was a big hit!! Everyone loved him from my daughter to the older guests. He is a very funny entertainer who gets the crowd involved. It was so nice that he let the kids go up an assist him while doing his show, they loved feeling like they were helping perform the magic!! Everyone commented on how great he was. I would definitely use him again for a future party and would highly
recommend him to anyone!! Thank you John!!

"Everyone enjoyed John's magic show. He had all the childrens and adults complete attention during the show. He was very funny. He gave each of the children some recognition. The older children (ages 11 & 12) were especially excited when he produced a live rabbit. He was wonderful. WE thoroughly enjoyed him. "

"John Carlson performed at our daughter's 6th birthday party and the experience was truly "magical." He kept all the kids and adults amused and laughing and having a wonderful time! His act included everything - ventriloquist, magic tricks, jokes, balloon characters, audience participation, extra special attention for the birthday girl and the "piece de resistance" - the live rabbit, "Oreo!" It really was a birthday party our daughter will never forget. Thank you, John! You are the best!"

"We reached out via telephone and email at least six times in the weeks prior to the event to confirm and find out what equipment he would need and he never returned a call or an email. Went on his website and he had us on his schedule so I was hoping that meant he would show up. He didn't. We had no entertainment for this event and everyone was very disappointed, obviously. Horrible experience, can't believe how unprofessional he was to not even reach out to us. Would never recommend this act."
