Description

DON'T HIRE A BIRTHDAY PARTY MAGICIAN TO ENTERTAIN YOUR IMPORTANT CLIENTS AND EMPLOYEES- HIRE SOMEONE WITH THE RIGHT EXPERIENCE!

"Terry was great!! He WOWed us with his card tricks before dinner and his 45 min show was wonderful. There is always a concern when it is a business event that a performer will not be appropriate for the group. Terry was perfect. He got rave reviews from both our managers, which was a wonderful thing. I would recommend Terry to any group make-up."- Janice B., 3M Economic Conference, Old Saybrook, CT

"Terry Parrett absolutely made our company holiday party a success! Our staff was mesmerized by Terry's performance, and positive feedback continues to pour in days after the event. He was extremely personable, exhuberant, and talented, and we would enthusiastically invite him back again!"- Saro B., YAI, New York, NY

"The party was a big hit. Thanks to Terry and his unbelievable magic and mind-reading."- Meghan C, Cablevision Corporate Function, Piscataway, NJ

As a former MBA, I understand the demands of the corporate market, and my program is designed to surpass your needs and expectations. My act is squeaky-clean and business-appropriate. There's lots of fun and humor, but all done with your company image in mind. No raunchy comedy-club humor, no flaky/spacey looks or attitude- just good clean fun. While my specialty is performing banquet and after-dinner programs, I can make almost any type of event you are planning truly memorable.

I present a high-energy comedy mind-reading and magic show that will keep your audience laughing and applauding. Your group will enjoy amazing magic, mentalism, and as a grand finale, I present Houdini's famous Straitjacket Escape. It's the perfect act for banquets, sales dinners, client appreciation events, holiday parties, and employee nights.

When you book me, you're getting a professional- no alibis, no excuses, no surprises. If you are not 100 percent delighted with my show, you can tear up my check. Read my client feedback, and see what past clients have to say about my work. I've performed for audiences all around the country; have lectured for other professional magicians at annual conferences in New York, Albuquerque, Tennessee and Toronto; just finished consulting on the upcoming feature film "Splinterheads"; have published over 80 articles in various national magic trade publications; and was seen on the VH-1 program, "Rock of Ages".

If you're searching for the lowest-priced performer for your event, keep searching. My prices are a bit higher than the other magicians on this site for a reason. When you book me, you are getting the attention you and your guests deserve. I arrive at your party ON TIME, relaxed, and ready to entertain. While I understand why some clients may want to spend as little as possible on entertainment, I can't give my clients the service they deserve if I undercharge and overextend myself. So if you want to GUARANTEE your next important event will be a smashing success, let's work together and make it happen!

PLEASE NOTE- Unlike some other performers on this site, I am NOT an agency. If you book me, you get ME. Please make sure that whoever you book sends you the performer you want, not just whoever is available.

Available For:

Anniversaries, Awards Nights, Banquets, Casinos, Celebrations, Christenings, Christmas Parties, Community Events, Conventions, Corporate Functions, Country Clubs, Cruise Ships, Dinner Dances, Festivals, Fraternity Functions, Fund Raisers, Graduation Parties, Grand Openings, Hotels, Picnic, Private Parties, Proms, Resorts, Restaurants, Reunions, Showers, Ski Lodges, Sorority Function, TV Soundtracks, Weddings

I would deffinately recommend him for any type of family or buisness party. -- Samantha K, Beach Haven, NJ, 12/6/2008
  • Terry entertained us at our holiday lunch event. Terry was extremely professional working amongst a very small group with a very large age gap. Terry went over & above to accommodate us & made everyone feel comfortable. He was definitely an asset to our holiday event. Best wishes for the New Year. -- Lauren B, New York, NY, 12/14/2007
  • Very accomodating and excellent with crowd. -- Andrea C, Blue Bell, PA, 5/22/2008
  • Terry Parrett was wonderful for our event. As we had a college-aged audience to impress, we were nervous about hiring a magician (concerns over it being too childish), but his act was absolutely age appropriate and impressive. He made everything easy to deal with and most importantly, he was good! -- Catherine M, Hamilton, NY, 3/30/2007
  • Terry was awesome with the kids, he was worth every penny and then some. Seriously, the balloon he made my son was unbelievable. I cannot say enough good things about his show, to have about 34 kids attention for that long is a miracle . -- Pat H, Rockville Centre, NY, 5/16/2009

  • Terry Parrett was wonderful at our daughters communion party. He kept the children very entertained. They were all laughing and in awe of his magic.

  • Terry was a superb performer. We booked him for my son's bar mitzvah party, which we held in our home. We were nervous about entertaining this large, mixed-age crowd so wanted an excellent performer who would be appropriate for kids, teens and adults alike. We made a great choice with Terry Parrett. Terry arrived promptly, and began mingling with our guests (from ages 2 to 92), doing close up magic routines. Everyone enjoyed this and I heard many excited comments even before he set up for the show. The show was fantastic. Everyone raved about it for hours afterwards. We finally figured out his secret -- just plain magic. Highly recommend. -- Cheryl E, Chappaqua, NY, 12/1/2007
  • Terry was very accomodating and he was a hit at the shower. Everyone waited to have their palms read and enjoyed the experience. He was a great addition and talent to my daughter's bridal shower. -- Judy R, Haverstraw, NY, 9/23/2007
  • Terry entertained our scouts at our annual B&G banquet. We had previousely learned that Terry had experience with this type of event and spoke personally to several scout leaders who sang his praises. We were not disappointed. The boys absolutely loved his show, and he did everything we asked him to do. We would recomend him to any group young or old to make their event a success! -- Susan K, Seymour, CT, 3/3/2007
  • When initially contacting GigMasters, Terry was one of the first people to respond to my request. From there Terry answered all of my questions, replied in a timely matter, and sent me information so I could better understand the service he provided. Terry was very flexible and easy to work with. He was early to our party and completely set up when our guests arrived. Terry was not only professional, but accurate with his palm readings. All of the guests enjoyed the palm readings, it was the talk of the party. I would absolutely recommend Terry to anyone, and I will hire him for my own party in the future. -- Gina C, Sparta, NJ, 12/22/2006
  • Terry Parrett performed at my daughter's 16th birthday party. His performance captured and held the attention of the group of 70 people, ranging in age from 5-6 year olds to 50. His magic tricks were intelligent, and entertaining as well as thought provoking. Additionally, Mr. Parrett was punctual, accomodating and highly personable. I'd highly recommend his show to those who are seeking something lot more than balloon blowing, face-painting, rabbit disappearing magic. -- Avi N, Princeton, NJ, 11/18/2006
  • Terry was the perfect entertainment for our party. He enthused our guests with his talents. He was personable, funny, accurate, and professional while entertaining us as a group (with a ESP/mind power demonstration), as well as individually (with personal palm- readings). Terry showed up on time, was easily accomadated, and gave MUCH of his time and talent to our guests. All of our guests (adults and children) had wonderful things to say about Terry and his talents. Thank You Terry for a fun filled night of entertainment! -- Sheri C, Robbinsville, NJ, 10/28/2006
  • We haven't laughed like that in a long time! Terry I wish I had time to write more, but rest assured, we loved your act! THANKS SO MUCH! -- Kelly G, Latham, NY, 4/25/2007
  • Terry did a great job for us. It was a tough crowd and at our meeting the next day nobody had any complaints...Amazing! I would reccomend him to anyone looking for a good, clean, laugh out loud kind of time. Mark Merritt Marlborough Fire/EMS -- Mark M, Hebron, CT, 4/14/2007

  • Terry did a great job and was the highlight of my wife's party. I would recommend him to both friends for personal events or professional events as he has braod appeal in his approach. -- Aaron D, South Salem, NY, 3/10/2007
  • He was great, very personable and professional. His mind reading really captured the audience attention. He was funny and engaged the audience members, using the information we had provided before the event. The only part of the act that was hard to follow was the "traps". We couldn't see well, the trick is performed on the floor, which made it hard to follow. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend Terry for future events. -- Dawn C, Glen Cove, NY, 12/7/2006
