"Tom Ogden was AMAZING! My husband loves magic and I wanted to have a strolling magician for his 40th birthday. Tom was better than I could have hoped for. His comedic timing kept the crowd laughing and his magic skills kept them in wonder He moved through the crowed and kept the party light and fun. Several novice magicians there at the party as guests and everyone of them commented on how skilled Tom was. One who is a member of a club at the Magic Castle said, "I know how that trick is done and I couldn't see when he executed it, he's awesome." I would HIGHLY recommend Tom Ogden!

"Tom was a big hit at our company party! He dressed the part, was friendly with guests, and his magic tricks amazed the crowds! Outside of being very entertaining Tom was also very professional. He discussed the details of our event ahead of time, showed up on time (a few minutes early even!) and his performance(s) were tasteful. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone considering adding a little magic to their event!

"Tom Ogden is professional, talented, accomplished, and proficient. His performance completely captivated everyone’s attention. Tom was very flexible. He was set to perform after we ate, but the caterer was late. Tom stepped in and entertained us, just as if it was planned that way. I know I got more than my money’s worth from Tom. He definitely made my mother’s 80th birthday party a memorable occasion. I would recommend him to everyone interested in having a magician entertain them and I’d hire him again!"
