Question and answer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. I've done Children's Birthday parties.... Grad Nights!
Adult Private Parties! Holiday Events! Bar & Bat Mitzvah's! Chabads! Corporate Teambuilding Events! Retirement Parties! Family Reunions! Company Picnics! (my specialty) and more!

You name it... I've done it!

I've even M.C'd weddings (as Magician featuring "The Magic of Matramony" walk around magic during reception)

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Without question you can "Shop Price" and find people who learned a few "Tricks" and want to make a few bucks doing "Magic Shows" for kids (or adults) but have no true experience... OR... you can call and speak to a "Pro" and immediately discern for yourself the difference! (You get what you pay or don't pay for)

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Children can tell when someone is "faking" an entertainment character! They get bored very easily!

High energy (and energized music) is the key ingredient to my presentations!

Just Children? Just Adults? Family? It makes no difference to me! Everyone loves to laugh and play!

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. Experience! Experience! Experience!

Who are some of your clients?

Ask a lot of questions! There are no dumb questions!

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. Am I entertaining just Children? Just Grown-ups? or Both?

If I'm throwing a "Game-Show Party".... will I need to purchase prizes?

Can I use your Sound System for after Game-Show dancing or activities?

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Nobody in Southern California does what I do in the "Audience Interactive" entertainment arena. There are many "Magicians" in the region but Magical "Game-Masters"... NO!

I combine my magical skills to enhance my personality! Will usually memorize the names of all attending guests at coctail parties! And feature the very popular "Puzzle Bar" where guests try to solve physical puzzles to win tickets for prizes!

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. In this "Depressed" economy... the family needs to come together in "Laughter & Play" as never before!

I feel "Blessed and Honored" to have devoted my life to playing an important part in offering my talents towards this effort!

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. In forty years of performance... I could do a "Stand-Up Comedy" routine telling of the hysterical situations that occured while getting people to play and be entertained by me.

Call me and I'll share at least one that would be associated with your type of event!

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. I was 12 years old and already pretty good at sleight-of-hand. I was introduced to an old Vaudeville performer who was traveling the " show biz circuit" with Harry Houdini! This man recognized my devotion to the craft and took me under his wing and I was from that time forward emotionally hooked. (As many are at this age)

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. I have created an "Assisted Living Community" gameshow where the age of my audience is no less than 85 years of age! Getting them "cognitively thinking" again while getting them to relate "POSITIVELY" with each other as a TEAM... is a reward that cannot be described!

One must attend this type of event to appreciate it!

Q. What are you currently working on improving?

A. I've created a "Math-e-Magical" multi-media classroom program to get kids (8 and older) to think outside the box incorporating "MATH and MAGIC" together!

The reward that kids receive for "LEARNING" is the "EMOTIONAL RESPONSE" (or WOW!) they get when presenting a "MATH TRICK" to their peers that appears to be magical!!
