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%"
Mooncalf Magic
"Dynamic, Reliable, and Crowd-Ready Performer
Mooncalf Magic brought high energy and strong crowd engagement to the Seafarer’s Beergarden at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. 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.

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"
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!"
Magic of Joseph Young
"We do large events every year with 100-200 clients. Joseph was by far the best entertainment we have ever had. There is always a “risk” with hiring an entertainer you have never seen in person – and we have had other entertainers (singers, magicians) go poorly in the past. Save yourself the trouble of working with other people and hire Joseph, you will be EXTREMELY IMPRESSED! We look forward to having him back!"
Hilarious Magician Sam Pearce
"Thoroughly enjoyed working with Sam on VersaBank's Virtual Staff Christmas Party. A very professional production, Sam was very flexible and genuinely concerned with meeting our needs, all staff enjoyed the event. If your team can't meet in person, Sam's your guy. Recommended."
