Close-Up Magic of Randy - Randy Snedden

With so many forms of entertainment to chose from and so many performers out there, it's often difficult to know exactly what will work for your party or special event. Lets face it, you're on the hot seat to provide a diversion for your guests that is compelling, engaging, and designed to leave them with memories that will last.

Is there a magical answer to solve the above problem? Fortunately there is: a comedy magic show with renowned magician and entertainer Randy Snedden!

Really? ... And that's a big deal why?

Because Randy specializes in making your party or event a very special and memorable one by performing high-energy, comedy-magic shows specially tailored just for you and the specific audience you're expecting. Randy is not a hobbyist who does magic in his spare time. He's a full-time professional magician who makes a living by combining:

o Hilarious Audience Participation! o Clean, Wholesome Humor! o Entertaining for All Ages o Your Guests Are the Stars! o Free Giveaways! o Hassle-Free Entertainment! o Affordable Pricing!

If you can't supply your own laughter, we'll make it for you!

Many entertainers are interested in giving you a laundry list of venues they entertain for. That's fine. It's nice to know where someone performs, but who really cares? What's more important are the benefits you get from hiring a certain entertainer, such as the ones listed above.

The benefits are the real reasons people want to hire a certain entertainer. They are the fine points that assure you you're getting bang for your buck. They're what the entertainer provides that can help fill your needs.

Sounds logical ... are there other benefits?

Well, since you asked ... Randy is not a "briefcase" magician. He won't walk into your home, business, or rented facility with a small case, open it and start the show. Randy uses numerous props & stage sets to create a very theatrical atmosphere that brings the magic of the big stage environment right to your audience! Imagine a professional production of that magnitude entertaining your guests!

The downside for Randy is longer set-up times and, unfortunately, not as many double-booked days as he'd like. The upside for you is a much nicer presentation that works in concert with his hilarious comedy magic performance to create memories that are guaranteed to keep your guests raving about the entertainment YOU hired!

Plus, the Close-Up Magic of Randy is a Better Business Bureau Accredited Business and features his unbelievable 100%, Iron-Clad, No Questions Asked, Like-It-Or-Lump-It Money-Back Guarantee. That's a mouthful, but Randy practices the best customer service in the Milky Way (or any other darn galaxy!) because his philosophy is not only to adopt an attitude that the customer comes first, but to put that tenet into practice. It's an ideology he was raised on and trained to do since he was a child.

Randy's motto, simply put, is to under promise and over deliver! All that combined makes the bottom line this: if you can't afford David Copperfield, you need the Close-Up Magic of Randy!

Perfect! But does Randy do my type of event?

The answer is: more than likely. Randy performs in a very wide variety of venues and can accommodate you with a stage or parlor magic performance; or can stroll your event "Las Vegas style" to entertain your guests in a more intimate small group or individual setting.

The Close-Up Magic of Randy offers the very best in premium yet affordable entertainment and can entertain audiences from 2-102 (and sometimes even 103)!

Here's the laundry list we discussed earlier. Randy can customize a show for many different types of events or occasions. A few of them are: Adult & Child Birthdays * Holiday Parties * Corporate Dinners & Meetings * Scouting Events * Childcare Celebrations * School Red Ribbon Themes & Fun Day Events * Wedding Receptions & Showers * Family Reunions * Fairs & Picnics * Libraries * Church Groups & Bible Schools, etc.

It's best to give him a call to discuss your event and find out more about what he can do to help make it a memorable one; or even if a magic show is the right entertainment for you.

Randy is in business to pay the bills like anyone else, but he also realizes there are a lot of differing needs out there and magic isn't always just the ticket to fill them. Give him a call and let his valuable experience as an entertainer who's performed at literally hundreds and hundreds of special events and shows advise you. It's a free resource of entertainment knowledge for you from someone who has a firm handhold in the business!

Sounds great! Where do I sign up?

• I hired Randy based on the fact that he had so many 5 star reviews, boy were they right! He entertained a group of 50 children ages 3-5 along with teachers at my daughter's daycare center. They were laughing from the start and truly amazed with his magic. He really gets the group excited and provides lots of opportunities for the kids to participate. And the favors he distributes add a nice touch along with the memories the children will carry with them for a long, long time. My daughter came home that evening with her very own magic wand, compliments of Randy. She keeps trying to make things disappear, hopefully it will work with the mess in her room! -- Jennifer B, Strasburg, PA, 4/28/2009
• We hired Randy to perform for the children at our reunion and, due to inclement weather, he was unable to perform as planned. Instead of losing our entertainment, though, Randy saw to it that we got TWICE the entertainment!! He did strolling magic for all our guests and then made some really awesome balloon hats for the kids. Everyone was impressed with his magic and balloons alike, making it plain to me that my entertainment dollars were well-spent. I had people asking me all day how he did this thing with a special card just for our reunion! I'd hire Randy again in a second and recommend him to anyone who needs superb entertainment! Thanks Randy!!! -- Judy G, Flinton, PA, 4/11/2009
• Randy Snedden was incredibly professional, prompt and organized. He performed a children's show and then did some tricks for small groups of adults. The kids (ranging from 2 yrs to 10 yrs) were in awe of his magic and laughed at all of his jokes. The adults really appreciated his "strolling magic" and are still trying to figure out how he did those tricks! I would highly recommend Mr. Snedden to anyone seeking a magician for their event. -- Erin G, New Cumberland, PA, 12/31/2008
• Randy was great at our son's 4th Birthday party. He kept a room full of children ages 3 to 6 captivated and completely entertained.

Jill Lawlor -- Jill L, Glenmoore, PA, 4/24/2009

• Randy was great with all the kids/young adults at Camp Pennwood! We will be calling him again for next year! He did every well at being able to really capture the kids and it is VERY hard to keep the kids at camp sitting and watching something/someone that long, after 10mins they are moving on to the next thing but not with Randy! Thanks So Very Much!!!!! -- Jackie R, York, PA, 7/24/2008
• I was pleased with Randy and the magic show he did for us. He arrived early and was ready to go before the first guest arrived. Everyone was impressed see the magic displays. Randy's performance was funny, quirky, and used the 17 boys and girls, ages 4-13, very well. He dealt with the unruly kids with a smile, jokes, and even got them into the show. The tricks were somewhat on the traditional side but I thought played very well to the kids. Overall, a really good birthday party performance for the younger kids. Most of the tweens had seen similar tricks before but still enjoyed the show. Thanks Randy & Richard...Gavin had a great time! -- Lee R, Allentown, PA, 2/21/2009

• Randy was very accomodating throughout the entire process of contacting him and booking him for our Children's Carnival. His show was very entertaining and kept his audience, both young and old entertained and involved. I heard a number of very favorable comments after his performance and have no doubt that his services will be recommended by both our church as well as members of the audience. Probably the best endorsement is that "the kids loved him." -- William B, Millersburg, PA, 8/9/2008
• Randy performed at our son's first birthday party. He and his assistant (son) did a great job with his magic show - which was thoroughly enjoyed by both kids and adults.

Alysa bought his magic kit & her cousin Kristin taught her how to do the tricks, she has'nt stopped.Randy touched my heart when my card changed from an ace to a card that said "PFC Moke Kahalehoe, United States Marine Corps" with the marine logo on it, he gave me that card to keep. A truely genuine man & great magician. OUTSTANDING! Thankyou C.Lubinski -- Carol L, Fairless Hills, PA, 8/10/2007
• Randy's show was very entertaining, and he did a great job engaging our scouts and keeping them interested in the program. He did a wonderful job having the kids participate in the magic tricks, and was able to have each child assist. His humor was good enough to keep the adults smiling, while keeping the kids in stitches. We got many complements on Randy's performance from the parents that attended our Blue Gold banquet with their scouts, and the kids just loved it. Randy Mower Pack 300 -- Randy M, Mechanicsburg, PA, 4/12/2008
• We booked Randy to perform at our son's 5th birthday party. Not only was he extremely accomodating to our request of having his rabbit (Peanut Butter) as part of the act, but he designed a special act that centered around the rabbit. He was very professional (arrived 2 hrs prior to his performance), funny, related well to the kids and rolled with the punches when the kids didn't exactly cooperate with the act. He also did a great job of involving the kids and adults into the act. He also made my job much easier by providing the magic treats for the kids. Overall, I would highly recommend anyone looking for a magician to consider him. -- Valerie S, Honey Brook, PA, 2/17/2008
• I was so happy with Randy Snedden and I would recommend him to friends...and I already have. It was everything I wanted it to be and my little girl was so happy. It was definitely a "magical" 5th birthday for Hannah. Ashleigh -- Laura L, Harrisburg, PA, 9/21/2007
• Randy was wonderful with our group of preschoolers. They absolutely loved the whole show. He was able to capture their attention for an hour. He was very good about being patient with them and just making the show very fun for them. Randy and his assistant were clean, curteous and organized and very personable. It is not easy to relate to young children sometimes but he really made an effort. He made the children feel like he really wanted them to be happy and enjoy the show. The reason I rated a 4.5 was due to a small "smoking break".(in terms of professionalism)Smoking is a personal choice but do it where you are not visible to children. -- Jen G, Quakertown, PA, 7/16/2008
• Randy performed at our COmpany Christmas party. He was a great entertainer and we had a delightful time. He integrated folks into his magic with wit and sensitivity. Everyone had a Great Time. We can highly recommend him! -- Tom R, Hershey, PA, 12/6/2007

• Randy Snedden of Close-Up Magic of Randy performed a one hour magic show for my daughter's first communion and 8th birthday at our home on Saturday may 5th. The show was spectacular and he kept the audience involve during the whole hour, and this was very important to my duaghter Kendra and her friends. The magic show made kendra's day a memorable one which she will remember for a long time. They had such a great time, that the children did not want to go home. Randy and his son Richard were very professional,funny, and excellent. My 8th year old daughter who was a big part of the show is still trying to figure out the tricks. I will give out Randy's number to my friends and families who need to add a magical moments to their parties. Thanks Randy for helping us make Kendra's day magical as the princess that she is.

• Randy Snedden was extremely easy to work with and was very adaptable to any situation that arose, such as the payment method and the room in which he was to perform. I was very impressed with his professionalism and was delighted to talk with him with any concerns or questions that he had. Everyone that attended the performance was very happy with the show and those that actually participated in the act had a blast. Randy's show made our holiday party very enjoyable and I hope we can use his services again in the future. -- James B, Hershey, PA, 12/13/2006
• Randy was extremely accomodating, he showed up almost an hour prior to the show for set up and was very professional. As with any engagement we had some attendees that were slow to show, Randy was willing to wait close to a half hour for guests to arrive which was greatly appreciated by my family. I would certainly recommend his show. -- John H, Jessup, MD, 11/8/2008
• I'm glad we had Randy perform at my daughter's first birthday party. The kids sat quietly and enjoyed his show and that gave me a lot of time to do other things at the party. It was a very good entertainment for both adults and kids. -- Soumya K, Mechanicsburg, PA, 7/26/2008
