Illusions By Vick show menu -
Drawing Room Magic- Dynamic entertainment in a sophisticated atmosphere. Drawing Room Magic allows for enchanting illusions in an intimate setting. Original illusions, "classics" of magic, interactive presentation, audience participation and a good time for all is the order for Drawing Room Magic. Recommended for Adult Birthdays, intimate gatherings and events where a unique, entertaining presence is desired.
Mobile Station Performance - Innovative alternative to strolling (or walk around) magic that encourages guests to enjoy magic at their leisure while adding to the elegance, intrigue and festivity of your event. Recommended for receptions, large parties where the event is taking place in various areas simultaneously or venues where there will be more than one performance or act performing simultaneously. Please contact Illusions By Vick for details about this uncommon performance style.
Stage (or Platform) Magic - Similar to Drawing Room Magic, usually on a stage or raised platform and of a slightly broader performance scope (Can include Houdini's Metamorphosis, Strait Jacket Escape and other large illusions). Stage Magic can be incorporated into many venues and is recommended for larger parties, events and banquets.

Feedback
- It's not often I give a review about a service but Vick was really, really good and perfect for our event! He performed magic none of us had seen before and worked elements of our affair into his magic. We are still mystified how he did the things he did and knew what he knew about all of us. All in all an amazing performance from an amazing performer. After his show he made time to speak with us about magic (he is extremely knowledgeable) and the performance. I highly recommend Illusions by Vick to anyone looking for professional entertainment -- Leslie N, Laurel, MD, 10/31/2009
- HE captivated the audience immediatley! I a great personality and interacted with the residents wonderfully! Would have him back and recommend to others. Thanks Vick you made it an extra special day for our residents and families!!!! Debi Wolfrey -- Heather R, Mclean, VA, 10/31/2009
- Vick performed one of the best shows we have ever seen! Almost as many parents as students were in the class that day and the show amazed us all! Vick weaved stories around the illusions that had us entranced the entire time. I held a pouch he put a necklace is (I saw in go in and could feel the necklace in the pouch) only to have in vanish right out of my hands and show up on a stand across the room.
Am still getting compliments (and requests for where I found Vick, another family already hired Vick to perform for them). We certainly will have Vick back in the future to perform again at our school. -- Irene A, Annapolis, MD, 10/30/2009
- Vick is an excellent entertainer. He came highly recommended and we are very happy with his performance. It really felt like we stepped into the golden age of magic while Vick was on stage. Totally amazing and very entertaining!!! -- Rick B, Washington, DC, 9/15/2009
- Vick was great. Everyone had such a good time. Vick created a perfect blend of illusions and we were all having such fun that the time flew by.
Vick really crafted his act to match the size and character of the audience.
Plus, Vick arrived on time, was absolutely game for anything, and did such a great job entertaining.
I highly recommended Illusions by Vick to anyone looking for professional entertainment. -- Joanne P, Baldwin, MD, 6/21/2009
- great enjoyed the show -- Kristy W, Washington, DC, 6/6/2009
- Vick is absolutely amazing! This is the second time we had Vick perform for us and as great as he was the first time, he came up with different ways to astound us in his second performance. Highly entertaining and totally professional. I highly recommend Illusions By Vick! -- Rebecca C, Elkridge, MD, 4/3/2009
- His performance was spectacular and mind racking. I loved every bit of It!!!!!! -- Javon B, Aberdeen, MD, 2/7/2009
- Vick is outstanding! I can't thank him enough or say enough great things about him and his performance. I threw a very special party for new clients, friends and family and wanted something fresh, stylish and unique and for them to be entertained (and impressed). Vick exceeded even my expectations. I asked for an illusionist (like Eisenheim from the movie) and am thrilled with the results. He was great working with me before the event too. Everything was perfect, if I could give a 10 star rating Vick I would! -- Rebecca C, Elkridge, MD, 1/6/2009
- Vick was fabulous! He made my son's Harry Potter party a truly memorable event. I can't rave about him enough! -- Donna R, Media, PA, 11/1/2008

was eye catching.Lots & Lots of compliments from all attendees of the party. Can't wait to see the next adventure- Vick is GREAT! -- Melissa C, Baltimore, MD, 10/4/2008
- Illusions By Vick is absolutely amazing! One of the best magicians we've ever seen!
A consummate professional, for our 24 guests, ages 17 to 59, Vick had something for everyone.
Vick's unique illusions, thoughtful presentation and captivating style charmed my entire party. It made for a very special (and dare I say magical) experience. Friends and family members are still calling and commenting about how much they enjoyed themselves. Vick definitely was the highlight of our party. My employer was in attendance and inquired about booking Vick for our company Holidays Parties. We WILL certainly have him back!! I highly recommend Illusions By Vick! -- Christina V, Clarksville, MD, 8/29/2008

Performer was very accomodating and was a very successful entertianment element for an After Prom party event at a local high school. Despite the hour he maintained his calm and entranced a decerning high school audience.My own son has studied some magic, attending the party and confirmed that Vick was "a big hit".
We will consider hiring him agian as a strolling entertianer at other functions. -- Sue S, Ridgely, MD, 4/26/2009
