We hired Phil to perform for 21, 4-5 year olds at my son’s 5th birthday party. Phil worked with me to develop an appropriate plan for the show that took into consideration the age and attention span of the kids, and the theme of the party — Star Wars! Phil knew his audience — he played to the silliness of the kids and they loved him. My son had a wonderful time and we’re all still trying to figure out his tricks! Thanks so much.
Details: 11 - 20 guests • 4 - 6 years old • Party host • Birthday party • Private residence (indoors) • Close up magic show • Balloon twisting • $$ (standard) • Need some more information before hiring

Our entire experience from booking to performance was top notch. Philip worked with us in all phases from a last minute date change, to a slightly fluid start time, etc.
As an Event Sales Manger for a very busy golf resort, I greatly appreciated Philip's professionalism in arriving well ahead of time and dressed appropriately to entertain corporate clients.
Philip performed an hour of roving magic during a Cocktail Hour. As I told Philip afterward, I never saw him perform a single illusion. Instead, I was judging him from the guests' reaction that I watched from a short distance away. The crowd reacted as I had hoped and more.
As Philip worked his way around the room, I observed both men and women looking at each other in disbelief and heard shouts of surprise and laughter all around in response to his illusions and on-going chatter. An impressive reaction from a veteran corporate group.
I would not hesitate to recommend Philip based on my experience. We look forward to welcoming him back to our property again.

Phil was absolutely incredible! He transformed what would have been a typical run of the mill kids birthday party for our daughter to the event of the year! He was entertaining, hilarious, professional and beyond impressive! What an incredible day thanks to Phil! “Magician” is the new “Bounce House”! 20 million times better, entertaining and interactive!
Thank you for the wonderful memory Phil!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
2 Styles both very different pricing;
Strolling/roaming Miracles are per hour!
My Show is a flat fee ranging from $500-$1750 depending on # of attendees, date, time morning/afternoon / or evening; & type of event :)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It depends on the event & client's needs; i.e. trade shows (for me) are all about marrying their key sales message visually with magic illusions! So I learn about their company, any new products/services they are trying to get the word out at those upcoming trade shows they have hired me for. They it's all about rehearsing, rehearsing to deliver a top notch performance and drive traffic, leads, and buzz to that company!!!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
B.A. in theater , intensive workshops with master magicians: Jeff McBride, Bob Fitch, & Michael Ammar!
