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's show was OUTSTANDING! He has incredible stage presence, hilarious (yet appropriate) jokes for both kids and adults, and magic tricks that leave the audience captivated. Derek performed for a little over 100 4th graders, and had everyone on the edge of their seats. His tricks are family-friendly, fun for all ages, and make you wonder, "How can he do it?!" Our audience of 9/10 year olds LOVED it, so any age group would truly love his show. He had incredible command of everyone's attention and has young kids of his own, so he could handle a crowd of young children easily. Working with Derek was an absolute breeze. He was incredibly accommodating and came fully prepared with all of his own equipment. His communication was clear, consistent, and timely, keeping us informed every step of the way. Derek is very personable and easy to work with, which made the entire experience seamless. He truly goes above and beyond! If you're thinking about booking a magician for a party or a special event, don't hesitate in booking Derek! He's as talented as he is easy to work with. Thanks for the wonderful show, Mr. Raposo!!! We all had the best time!
