We hired Mr. Smith for our small wedding reception hosted in Astoria after researching several magicians through Thumbstack, Gigsalad, and Google. Guests loved him, everyone had a great time! He did a mixed show with parlor magic and more casual walk-up magic, making an effort to mingle with all the guests during the show and doing a variety of tricks. Communication was easy, Ethan was responsive and patient while we figured out the exact time to start the show and how the layout of the venue was going to be (we planned the whole reception in a month in a half, so everything was kind of last minute). Overall, 5 stars!

We decided fairly last minute to have a magician for my brother’s graduation lunch, and I’m so glad we found Ethan. Our guests ranged in age, and he managed to put on a show that everyone loved. He even got some of the shyest people involved! To this day, everyone is still talking about his tricks. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for fantastic entertainment!

Ethan was a great crowd magician. I hired him for my engagement party and all my friends loved him. He was timely, cordial, and had such great sleight of hand and mentalist tricks. Would love to hire again for a future party

Ethan Smith the Magician was extremely professional in all our encounters. Setting up the reservation and explaining what to expect was easy and very flexible. Ethan entertained the 40 guests at my Birthday party for one and a half hours. He was kind and very courteous to all guests making everyone enjoy his amazing acts of magic. I guided him to those guests he had not interacted with and all my friends and family were impressed with his skills. I highly recommend Ethan to entertain at your event. What he adds to the party is worth the cost.
