Gary Flegal - VOTED BEST ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR by the readers of Nashville Parent Magazine! AWARDED FIRST PLACE in the Tri-Cities Magicians Society BATTLE OF THE WIZARDS STAGE COMPETITION!

*** MAKE YOUR EVENT AMAZING!! MAKE IT A MEMORY!! ***

An award-winning entertainer whose performances have been called "charismatic, professional, and truly dynamic," "the best we ever had," "a rare find in today's sophisticated world," and "a masterpiece."

I am a Full-Time Professional Magician who lives and breathes magic. I have been doing magic since age 8. Entertaining is my vocation and has been a sacred privilege for over 30 years. I remind myself every day that the tricks I do are NOT the magic ... the REAL MAGIC is the laughter and smiles - the relationship I develop with each and every person in each and every audience. I treat EVERY PERFORMANCE as if it could be my last, hence client ratings! My goal is to create real magic for my audience - to make the tricks seem so real that the only thought is about the fun and mystery we are sharing together. Please allow me to share a magical event with you that you will look back on and speak of fondly for decades to come. To me, the small things all add up to a big picture: punctuality, cordiality, and full attentiveness are the only things you'll receive other than the magic.

HARDEST-WORKING: I am very confident that You simply cannot find an entertainer who delves into the most minute detail and pours every ounce of their energy into Your Event the way I do. The keys to my success are passion and dedication.

"This was our second children's MAGIC party with Gary. The first one was for our son's 9th birthday, and two years later, we hired Gary again for our 6 year old's party! Both events were so memorable and we have Gary to thank for that! Gary is professional, organized, prompt, friendly, great with kids of all ages, and is very enjoyable to work with. Compared with other magicians, his prices are reasonable, and he always calls to check in prior to the party to talk about last minute details and to answer any questions. His magic shows were filled with excitement, awesome tricks, music, audience volunteers, and live animals! He makes the birthday child feel extremely special! The kids and adults were all fascinated by his tricks and always full of smiles! They could hardly believe it when a table went floating up in the air above their heads! How cool!!!! Even the grown-ups were amazed by his talent! Both my sons' friends are STILL talking about the parties!!!! Gary filled these children's hearts with a love for magic!

* "I hired Dr. Gary Flegal for a public show that was held at the Double Tree Inn in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. What an inspiring show! Gary Flegal is totally professional and the quality of his magic is outstanding! Several days after the event, while shopping in the community I encountered one of the families who had attended Dr. Flegal's show. They shared many words of praise regarding his show, but what made me smile the most was them sharing about how much their little boy now wants to become a magician. What a completely special event for all involved! Without reservation I recommend hiring Dr. Gary Flegal for your next event!" ~Carol Householder, Oak Ridge, Tenn. (ThumbTack Recommendation)

* "As General Manager of It's Magic! (a magic shop) I was responsible for finding talent to provide magical entertainment for our children's birthday parties we hosted at the shop. I worked with a number of different performers, but none of them had the level of professionalism that I received from Dr. Flegal.
"Gary is a master of his craft. His show is designed for all ages (I heard from a lot of parents that they were more amazed than the kids). He deviates from the standard fare of magic tricks, and performs effects that have taken him decades to perfect.
"He always involves the audience, and if requested has a special effect for the guest of honor. Unlike a number of magicians, he always treats his assistants with a level of respect unparalleled in the field. No one has ever been embarrassed on stage with him, and everyone leaves his show with a smile on their face.
"Gary is also one of the most punctual magicians I've worked with. I have never been worried about him showing up late, or unprepared for a show. If you decide to have him perform with his animals (I'm not ruining any surprises...) he will stay after the show and let the kids interact with them.
"I can't recommend Dr. Flegal enough for your night of entertainment. Not only does he excel as a children's entertainer, I've watched him perform for corporate audiences of over 1,500 people and amaze every one of them.
"If you ever have any hesitation about hiring a magician to entertain for your next event, hire Dr. Flegal, and your only regret will be not doing it sooner." ~Jeff Bjorklund, General Manager of It's Magic!, Hermitage, TN (Linked-In Recommendation)

* "Dr. Flegal's performance was the hit of my twin's birthday party! The entertainment captivated the attention of all age groups represented -- 1 to 86!!!!! From mind-reading to fire tricks to doves turning into rabbits ... the performance was personal, fun, and nothing short of PERFECT! I encourage you to invite Dr. Flegal to be a part of any occasion you want to be a masterpiece!!!!! The Magic of Smiles will simply leave you amazed!!!!!" ~Monica Blake, Shelbyville, Tenn. (ThumbTack Recommendation)

* "I took a chance by hiring a magician online a few days before our Christmas Party. I could not be happier with how it turned out. At the end of the party and for days afterwards, my wife and I got many compliments about the magician. I recommend Gary with no reservations." ~Lewis Thompson, Brentwood, TN (ThumbTack Recommendation)

• Dr. Gary Flegal meet all of my expectations and exceeded them. He keep an audience ranging from 1 to 90 entertained. The children of the school loved him. They even lined up to get his autograph and my 15 year old son said he saw a post on Face book from one of his friends saying "FLEGAL RULES". That says it all right there, to get a 15 year old excited is something. The children at the school got so excited they started moving closer and closer, but Dr. Flegal never lost his cool and just ask them to move back a little. He is a super nice fellow and had wonderful communication with him before the show. Thanks for everything. Carla Clay, President Pelham PTO. -- Carla C, Pelham, TN, 11/4/2011
