Derek was absolutely amazing. Profesional and punctual. Kids and adults loved his show. Kids were engaged from start to end. Parents said that was the best kids party they had been to and we couldn't have made it happen without Derek. Highly highly recommended.

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!

Details: Birthday party • Close up magic show • 11 - 20 guests • 7 - 10 years old • Private residence (indoors)

I combine my two sons birthday parties each year. This year, they turned 4 and 7. I wasn't sure what to do to for the party decided a magician would be a great idea! After researching for a short while, I had come across Derek Raposo. Boy, am I glad I did! Derek was not only very easy to worth with, kind, fun and entertaining, he was also professional and really made my boys birthday party a success. The way he interacted with the kids was perfect - he also had them participate in the show whenever possible! (Which of course they all loved) The show was definitely age appropriate for all range of kids in attendance, including us big kids (aka the adults!). :) Also, my final tipping point was that his website blew me away (being a Marketing professional - first impressions via the internet mean everything). Check out his website if you haven't yet...and you'll see what I mean! http://www.bostonmagicentertainment.com/ Derek - thank you again for all that you did to make my boys happy on their special day! You truly are an entertainer and I am still wondering how those bunnies, that I swear were black and white, turned red and green!! ;) One happy (and stumped) momma, Nikki
