As expected, John was awesome again! The adults and kids all loved it. We definitely had some skeptical adults in the group (haha!) but they were totally blown away and thought it was wonderful. Everyone in our group commented on what a lovely family activity this was—some of us are in the US and some in Australia, and we haven't seen each other in real life in over a year due to covid. It was a really fun way to connect. Highly recommend for family groups, friend groups, or coworker groups. Thanks again John! read less

We booked a private event for our family holiday gathering and having the opportunity to interact and be entertained by a professional magician in our own homes isn't something we ever would have experienced pre pandemic.

He performed roaming tricks of all kinds to my guests and not only did he amaze every single person there, he was hands down the most remembered part of the event. People still comment to this day..
Aside from his amazing talent, John is a genuine, charismatic, charming and positive person which brought a new energy to the group. His talents broke the ice amongst groups of people who did not know each other and really adapted his style to all ages and personalities. He seamlessly mingled through the crowds and everyone demanded his attention. The event would not have been the same without him. I highly recommend for any event.
