5/5 from 154 reviews
Photo of Elijah Edwards #1 Google Comedy Hypnotist Elijah Edwards #1 Google Comedy Hypnotist "We teamed up with Elijah to offer our guests and visitors here at Waubeeka Family Campground something "New" in style to what we normally offer. We were concerned that skepticism might prevent our guests from enjoying this type of show but pleasantly, we found the exact contrary to be the result! Elijah's professionalism and attraction glared obvious immediately upon him taking the stage. He made all in attendance comfortable and thus willing to partake and the results were amazing. The show was fantastic and ALL accounts were favorable to the experience and toward a desire to have him return. Elijah performed multiple shows throughout His weekend with us and each, increasing in attendance because of the first hand recounts of the spectators of the previous shows. We are appreciative of the connection We made with Elijah and without concern, will be going forward including his show into our offered events. Thank you to Elijah and Jack for a great weekend and in advance for the relationship that will continue into the future! - Jim" Based in Perrysburg, Ohio (208 miles from Chicago) 6th April 2026 Ziggy Rose Photo of America's Fastest Hypnotist America's Fastest Hypnotist "America's Fastest Hypnotist was the highlight of our Donor Thank You Party! Scott's charm and mind-blowing skills were outrageously entertaining - forgetting names, numbers, and even meeting their favorite celebrities. It was an unforgettable evening for everyone. Bravo Scott! Highly recommended!" Based in Detroit, Michigan (238 miles from Chicago) Brian W. - Outstanding Performance Photo of Ventriloquist DC Mickan Ventriloquist DC Mickan "Doug Mickan is AMAZING! Doug had visited our Church in June, after performing at 2 local libraries earlier that day. He provided such quality Christian entertainment that evening that we booked him for our BIG outreach event of the year...FAMILY FUN DAY. Doug not only ministered that morning to our entire Church through worship and his gift of ventriloquism, but then stayed to be the main attraction at Family Fun Day that afternoon. We would highly recommend Doug Mickan to any organization or ministry. 100%" Based in St Louis, Missouri (260 miles from Chicago) 9th April 2026 Jon Brown - Grace Church Ministries, Chester, IL Photo of Hilarious Magician Sam Pearce Hilarious Magician Sam Pearce "Thoroughly enjoyed working with Sam on VersaBank's Virtual Staff Christmas Party.

Danny consistently connected with guests through humor, presence, and interactive charm. His flexibility in performance style made him a great fit for the unique rhythm of our themed festival environment. Behind the scenes, Danny was dependable, professional, and easy to work with. His time with us added great value to the Beergarden’s entertainment lineup, and I’m happy to recommend him for future bookings seeking an experienced, engaging performer. — Brandi Ogier Entertainment Director, KCRF" Based in Kansas City (412 miles from Chicago) Brandi Ogier - Kansas City Renaissance Festival
