When I hired Eric Giliam as a surprise magician for my bachelor party weekend, I had high expectations based on his reputation as Arizona's #1 magician - but he exceeded them all! Eric isn't just any performer; he's an award-winning magician with international acclaim, including being crowned World Teen Magic Champion in Las Vegas at 18 years old. Now, he's established himself as a master of his craft with a show that combines world-class illusions with engaging entertainment. The tricks he performed left us all speechless, wondering "how did he DO that?" Eric's professionalism was outstanding from start to finish. It definitely got the boys buzzing! If you're looking to make any event in Arizona truly memorable, Eric Giliam should be your first call. He's truly earned his place on the Mount Rushmore of magicians with a show that combines technical brilliance with genuine entertainment value.

yes. a million times yes. if you're thinking "would a magician be a nice touch?", the answer is YES. i had a birthday party of a dozen late-20 to 30-something-year-olds and all of them had a BLAST. eric was extremely responsive, professional, punctual, entertaining. he really catered his performance to the group and is obviously talented and passionate about what he does. he was interactive with the group and everyone was cracking up and amazed. i was so stressed out trying to plan a surprise party and had to tweak some details but eric's cool and flexible demeanor really put me at ease about trying to sneak a magician into the house, lol. he even incorporated a special request for me. his performance was truly the cherry on top and the best end to the night. i can't explain how happy i am with the experience. thanks so much eric!!
