Not only was Tommy super easy to work with prior to the event, he went above and beyond during the event. He showed up early. He had props and music and activities. He was very flexible on timing during the event, he needed no instruction or reminders from me, and he went with the flow...even reminding me about some things I needed to do! He knew my son's name and remembered the names of our guests (amazing). He even came with a birthday song to play for my son. I received so many compliments during and after our party...people were mouthing "he's really good" to me during his show. He made the most amazing balloon animals (and guitars and shields and spidermans and pumpkins and softballs and hearts...) for our guests, taking every request from every child--including the ones who asked for several. And when a child asked for another creation after he'd packed up to leave, he set his stuff down and made another balloon creation happily! This guy really knows how to make kids smile and laugh, and was great entertainment for the adults too. His magic was so good...I could hear some of the parents mumbling "how does he do that?" or "I've never seen that before." And he engaged all of the children with lots and lots of magic tricks. He was incredibly professional, an enjoyable personality and friendly guy, and I will definitely call him again for our next party. All our guests had a really good time...he definitely made our event.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I perform highly entertaining magic shows for adults, family and children's audiences. The shows feature hilarious comedy, amazing magic, music, and audience participation. Upon request, I can include funny puppet skits featuring professionally made puppet characters like Claudia the Hippo or Petey the Possum. I also am an expert balloon twister, who can make everything from the classic dogs and swords to amazing hats, space aliens, flowers and even a guitar that really plays music! When I twist for a festival or other big event, the line is the longest of any at the event! People will stand in line for a long time to get one of these balloon creations!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    When looking for a magician or balloon twister for your big event, don't just buy based on price alone. Ask for and check references. Find out if there are events where the performer is asked to come back year after year. I always say that it's good to be invited, but it's GREAT to be invited back! Always compare references on a couple of different performers. One may get a good reference for their job, but after you talk to someone else's references, you may discover a much more enthusiastic satisfied customer. Look for credentials like membership in local magic clubs, number of years as a performer, and if they specialize in events like yours. Be wary of anyone who says they can entertain all ages and in all situations. The best magician for preschoolers may NOT be the best for a corporate event, and vice versa.
