The kids were a group of second graders in an elementary school setting. There were about 115 of them regular education and exceptional children. They all had fun. The magic was amazing, Derek was engaging, and he understood how to keep things moving to keep the students from being bored. The price was a great value for 45 minutes of entertainment. He entertained the whole time, no fillers. The kids talked about the magician the rest of the day. Highly recommended.

Derek was the star of my son’s birthday party! Working with him was a wonderful experience. On top of being extremely flexible as we tried to navigate a back-up plan after some unexpected rain, he arrived exactly when he said he would, and was both professional and compassionate every step of the way. He also knew how to navigate and entertain a group of rowdy 4-yr olds with grace. Everyone had a great time, and we are very grateful for all he did to make the celebration such a success!

Thank you, Jana! It was a joy to celebrate your son's birthday, and I'm so glad the back-up plan still made for a memorable afternoon. Wishing your son a happy birthday and a wonderful year ahead! 🪄✨

We recently had the pleasure of having Derek Raposo perform a magic show for our members at the Wake Forest Loading Dock, and what a fantastic experience it was! The illusions were absolutely incredible, the laughs were nonstop, and Derek brought such amazing energy to the room! His combination of magic, humor, and audience participation makes his show a fantastic choice for audiences of all ages. He kept everyone engaged, laughing, and amazed from start to finish. We're still trying to figure out how he pulled off some of those tricks!
If you want to add a little magic, a lot of laughter, and something truly memorable to your next event, Derek is the perfect choice!
