Description
More positive customer reviews than any other L. A. magician! (And visit the YELP site for even more!) 1st place Grand Prize Winner of the Magic Castle's 2009 "Smackdown" competition! PHIL VAN TEE IS THE ONE THAT WILL MAKE YOU LOOK REALLY GOOD TO YOUR GUESTS (OR BOSS) BECAUSE YOU BOOKED HIM! Hire PHIL, and then RELAX. He is a regular paid performer at Hollywood's Magic Castle; a funny magician who is also a standup comedian! That means he is more entertaining than the average comic and funnier than the average magician! 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE! Phil is the perfect act for mixed age, company or family events ------- No matter what their age, Phil treats all of his audience members to the same really cool tricks (closeup or stage) that the folks enjoy when he works at the Magic Castle- and he is really tall- a 6' 8" guy wearing a 3 piece suit and formal cowboy hat! If you like, Phil can even arrange for several of your folks to be his guests at the Magic Castle, where you can see him perform live (as well as spending the evening seeing many other wonderful magicians!) -------- A graduate of Ringling Bros. College, Phil entertains and fascinates in a folksy, silly, Gary Cooper meets Harry Anderson kind of way. He accompanies each delightful and elegant closeup miracle with funny stories & tall tales. -----------OVER HIS LONG AND NOBLE CAREER (34 YEARS of experience - over 14,000 shows performed), LOOK WHO HAS APPEARED WITH PHIL: Paula Poundstone, Denis Leary, Rosie O'Donnel, Jay Leno, Cheech Marin, Steve Harvey, The Maguire Sisters, Patton Oswald, Mort Sahl, Rob Schneider, Ellen Degeneres, Amazing Jonathon, Sammy Shore, Pauly Shore, John Byner, Dana Carvey, Margaret Cho, Sinbad, Jeff Foxworthy, Janeane Garofalo, Sam Kinison, Emo Philips, Roseanne Barr and countless more!

Feedback
- Phil Van Tee was wonderful. He arrived early and circulated around doing small tricks with the children and their parents, telling stories. During the show he had everyone's attention from 2 to 82. We all had a great time and enjoyed every minute! There were lots of very happy faces. If we ever need a magician again it will be Phil Van Tee that we call. A wonderful evening. -- Margaret Y, West Hills, CA, 10/19/2008
- FUN!! IS THE ONE WORD I CAN USE TO DESCRIBE THE PERFORMANCE OF MR. VAN TEE, MY FAMILY AND I WERE VERY ENTERTAINED PHIL WAS VERY CURTIOUS AND WORKED EXTREMELY WELL WITH NOT ONLY THE CHILDREN BUT THE ADULTS AS WELL. HE DID NOT NEGLECT ONE REQUEST FROM THE KIDS AND AFTER THE PERFORMANCE WAS THERE TO SHOW EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE KIDS HOW TO DO SOME TRICKS I WOULD STRONGLY RECCOMEND PHIL VAN TEE FOR YOUR NEXT PARTY I KNOW WE WOULD LOVE TO USE HIM AGAIN!THANX PHIL -- Roy M, Rialto, CA, 3/23/2008
- Very friendly, funny, and very accomodating! He did close up magic and tricks at my wedding and I heard nothing but wonderful things about him from all my guests. Great guy! -- Lisa S, Fullerton, CA, 3/15/2008
- Phil Van Tee is truly amazing. We had an office Christmas party of about 50 employess. In the years past we have had a DJ. This year we wanted to try something different. We talked to about 5 different magicians. we were really impressed with Phil. So we choose Phil. Wow!!! ALL of our employess loved it. No one left early as in the years past because no one wanted to miss what he was going to do next. If you want some someone who is a true Professional and will wow your event this is the guy. I very much highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Phil for making our event special. -- Kim V, Big Bear Lake, CA, 1/8/2008
- Our corporation booked Phil Van Tee at the VERY last minute; not only was he accomdating, he also went beyond the call of duty and gave us more time. FREE OF CHARGE!!!
Phil is ALL the things you look for in hiring an entertainer: on time, considerate of the needs of the event, entertainingl; therefore, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND him!
Thanks, again, Phil!!
...and Happy New Year! -- Rolanda B, La Canada Flintridge, CA, 12/5/2007
