Excellent show. Employees were skeptical of a "comedian/magician", but Rusty delivered. Approximately 70 guests, and feedback across the board was extremely positive. We would book Rusty again.

Rusty was INCREDIBLE!! Quality magicians are hard to come by these days, but I can confidently say that myself, my coworkers and staff, and my campers were blown away by his performance. Not only was he responsive and so easy to work with, but he performed tricks that we had never seen before! It was refreshing to see so much variety in his performance, it really helped to bring the MAGIC back into what a magic performance really is about: the wow factor. We were left speechless and now we can’t stop talking about how fantastic he was! We are ABSOLUTELY having him back. The audience was in tears with laughter and he kept their attention effortlessly for the duration of his performance. Highly recommend Rusty!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As a magician I have a great deal of variety of shows to offer, with a broad spectrum of prices. If you're a band, for instance, whether you do one song, or 100...whether you perform in a garage, nightclub or stadium, performing for 5 people or 500,000...your setup is the same. I my case, my amount of setup is quite different depending on the venue, audience, and type of show. Therefore I have a lot of flexibility on price. So, tell me your budget and expectations, and I'll do everything in my ability to deliver.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Questions, conversation, and more questions. It's of paramount importance that I please the client by providing exactly what they want at a price in their budget. So, it all starts with communication, leading to decisions to perform the best show possible.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My experience is the tens of thousands of shows over a 35 year career. Additional training, that's been remarkably helpful, is the work I've done in radio and television. My work in broadcast media has been a nice set of skills to help round out my on-stage performances.
