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!

Derek gave our daughter a truly magical 8th birthday party. She has been all smiles for hours afterwards, and the grown ups who attended the party were truly impressed with his performance. He had the whole room smiling and laughing! He handled a bunch of rambunctious kiddos very well, was extremely professional to work with, and gave my daughter a birthday she will remember forever! Thank you so much Derek!
