I cannot tell you enough how happy I am that I hired Mark for my daughters 5th birthday party. The temperature outside was a humid 92 degrees at 10 AM. and we had early guest arrive to the party with a list of demands to make themselves feel at home (who does that?).
Mark also arrived early and expected little to no maintenance for set up and he was more than flexible with the room he needed to set up his props for the "stage show".
When the party did not start on time Mark kindly asked who his target audience was and then got right to work. He probably did not know just how helpful it was to have all of the kids sitting in one area and having them all engaged in an activity. What more could one ask for while trying to set up??? I was so happy! Even more, he caught the attention of the lingering parents too! Well, 1 hour into the start of our party food was finally ready. We migrated everyone outside of the house for food and a magic show. The amount of time it took to finish serving food became an-ordeal too considering I only hired Mark for two hours and by the time everyone was finished getting their plates and ready to start the show we had only 26 minutes left until the party was scheduled to be over!
Mark did not seem to mind and he explained that as a professional he agreed to see his performance from beginning to end and if we went over our time he still felt that it was not only important but right to finish his craft. You do not meet many people who want to do good business these days and I again felt confident that things were O.K! The heat outside was too much and our tent ended up blowing away into the neighbors yard so, we moved the party back inside to my now very messy living room and kitchen area. Our party guest filled the room. We had one fan to circulate the air of the A/C unit and still, it was hot. But when I looked around I saw smiles on everyone's face and after the party a few friends stayed late to talk about how great of a show Mark put on.
Overall I could not have made a wiser choice when I decided to hire Mark.

We hired Mark to entertain about a dozen kids at our housewarming party. We wanted to give the parents a couple hours of to have 'fun' while their kids were amused. As soon as he came to our home, he was friendly and quickly involved the few guests that arrived early. He was so good that at one point the adults were all into his act. We even moved the party to the basement for more open space because the children AND adults were enjoying his show.

Mark did an outstanding job at our corporate event! We had 150 people and he was able to captivate the crowd during Cocktail Hour, and at each dinner table showcasing creative, magical tricks. All members of the event were certainly impressed by his talent and sense of humor. Thank you Mark for making our annual dinner a memorable magical night! Highly recommended for all.

Mark was wonderful with our 6 year old grandson and 3 to 15 year olds and adults. He is very entertaining and held everyone's attention. He is professional and very talented. It was a great show. We highly recommend him.

Mark was engaging, funny and a real "Pro" at his craft. We hired him for our daughter's high school graduation party and it was the icing on the cake. The high school guys were amazed with his talent and we all enjoyed his witty sense of humor. Outstanding!
