Feedback
- I booked Phil Van Tee for a party at my home. He arrived early and stayed beyond the time we had agreed upon. He was incredibly professional yet friendly and the magic he performed was amazing! I am very glad to have hired Phil and if I am ever in the need of a magician again, there is only one choice as far as I'm concerned - Phil Van Tee! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a magician. Thanks, Phil! -- Stephen N, Laguna Hills, CA, 8/1/2009
- 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
