Hired on Thumbtack

Wow! I don’t even know where to start. From the very beginning and finding John through thumbtack for my daughters 8th birthday, we first had a pleasant phone call where he was able to answer all of my questions, got to know what we were looking for in a magician, and he answered questions that in that moment I had not even thought about. After that conversation, it was a no brainer, we had to hire him. After that conversation and days leading to the event, he kept in contact with me & provided me with some great recommendations to make sure my daughter & guests could experience a great show. On the day of the event, he was on time, kind, engaging, and a great performer. The show was for kids, but he was able to not only draw in all of their attention but he was able to attract the adults as well. We were ALL engaged and he was able to connect with the audience. I also appreciate how he took the time to give each child a souvenir at the end of the show. He truly made a huge positive impact on my daughter who also loves magic& aspires to be a magician. Since the show, she hasn’t stopped talking about the amazing tricks and woke up the next day imitating John’s tricks. So again, Thank you Magic John for truly making this an easy process & for a memorable experience!

We hired, Magic John, for my daughter’s 10th birthday party with a mixed crowd of tweenaagers and adults and we could not have be happier with him. He is not only a talented and super entertaining magician, he’s personable, funny, and great company! We got so many compliments on a job well done by him. Tweenagers and adults were impressed with his magic and their interactions with him. After talking to several magicians, I’m glad I went with my gut and trusted he’d be the best fit. He’s a great hire for events of all ages and venues. Would highly recommend.

John came to my office (Film & TV production company in Los Angeles) and performed for a group of 40 people... He was a MASSIVE hit. Not only is he an incredible magician, he is an amazing performer, comedian and storyteller. The audience was super engaged the entire time, and we all found ourselves laughing incredibly hard but also completely stunned with his tricks. Everyone was lining up to get 1x1 time and stuck around for the entire two hour event. We couldn't recommend him more. He is perfect if you want to host a large group event or a small one. Thank you John for making our office happy hour event so incredible and memorable. People have been talking about it all day and have been asking for your information for future events. 10/10 recommend and we can't wait until he can come back!!!

John was truly MAGIC! His walk-in performance at MetDaan's Cloud 9 room was an absolute delight. His exceptional skills, engaging personality, and ability to create an enchanting atmosphere made it an unforgettable experience. Thank you, John, for sharing your magical talents and making our time at VidCon Anaheim truly extraordinary! If you have the opportunity to see John perform, I highly recommend it. Prepare to be amazed and entertained!
