The facility that I hired Met-Man for LOVED his show. The residents thoroughly enjoyed the performance and I will be using him again for other buildings. He definitively brought smiles to the Long Term Care residents.

Mer provided a Magic show for my 8 year old granddaughter and her cousins ages 2-10 in my home. 50 minutes of age appropriate entertainment was provided. Mer's personality was a hit by children and adults alike. I was very pleased that he did enclude all the children in his performance along with the Birthday Girl. He arrived right on the time ask and was very pleasant to work with, so easy going. I hope to be able to employ Mer in the future for a longer Adult version of his Talent. It was My pleasure to work with him. I received many compliments of my "Great Idea" to hire him. Thanks for maklng me one Happy Grandma with a finicky 8 year old Granddaughter! Thank You So Much!!!!

James and his troop of entertainers were a great addition to our neighborhood block party. Anyone who can keep 40 children engaged for 30 minutes gets my vote! The magic show was a real highlight of our event this year. The skills of the balloon, face painters and tattoo artists were enjoyed by all. We will definitely consider the MerMan agency for future events. Thanks for being part of our successful day!

I was attempting to plan a block party for my sons 3rd birthday. For 2 weeks I'd searched for face painters and balloon twisters in my area but came up empty. My friend, in an effort to assist me, created a Thumbtack inquiry and James responded. Once James and I connected, he made it so easy for me to book with him and his team. He asked good probing questions to determine what my vision was and collaborated with me to make sure he would provide the experience I was looking for. James arrived early to set up and was ready to go before the official start of the party. The lady providing the face painting, her name escapes me, was wonderful as well. She was so patient and kind with the children and above all she produced wonderful work! James twisted balloons to the kids liking. I saw dogs, swords, belts, hats, etc. The kids had a blast and at the end that's what it's all about! I can't thank MerMan's Entertainment enough!
