Photo of S. Patrick Magical Entertainment S. Patrick Magical Entertainment "Hello Patrick, Thank You!! Everyone really enjoyed the show. We will definitely keep you in mind for future events. Jessica - Event Coordinator - Split Rock Resorts" Based in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania (71 miles from Philadelphia) Jess Kratzer - Coordinator Special Events - Split Rock Resorts - Poconos PA. - Stage Show Photo of Midetush Xperience Midetush Xperience "You were an absolutely brilliant MC at our wedding. You kept every segment running seamlessly, and we truly enjoyed your humour, quick wit, and ability to improvise. Your excellent communication skills showed through in the way you engaged guests of all ages from start to finish. Your timing was spot-on, and you handled transitions and unexpected moments with such ease. You even went above and beyond by stepping in as a hypeman after the event, keeping everyone in high spirits and creating such a joyful atmosphere. Thank you so much for being a big part of making our day so memorable!" Based in Baltimore, Maryland (90 miles from Philadelphia) 12th November 2025 Adediran - Private Wedding Photo of Corporate Event Magician Corporate Event Magician "Jordan, thank you for providing top notch service for our annual corporate BBQ. Our colleagues loved your magic tricks, and you had our colleagues engaged throughout the event. We will reach out for future events, great job!" Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (332 miles from Philadelphia) 11th September 2026 Bill Keegan - Mondelez International Photo of Illusionist Ken Margoe Illusionist Ken Margoe "Thank you Ken Margoe for an incredible night of comedy magic. You were an absolute delight to work with and produced a high caliber and interactive show that engaged the audience." Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (339 miles from Philadelphia) 22nd October 2025 Derek Young Photo of Dr. K Dr. K "I've seen Kemin Zhang perform literally dozens of times, in a range of different settings and venues. He's equally at home doing close-up magic, playing music (in a range of styles and forms), or MC-ing a show. He possesses his own very special ability to transcend genres, forms, cultures, and creative roles to reach out and connect with an audience. He effortlessly bridges the worlds of Magic and Music, sometimes combining the two, often with a healthy dose of humor thrown in. He is a magical, musical Jack-of-all-trades, capable of assuming the throne of a King of Comedy, very comfortable playing the role of Joker when appropriate, and who is always a true on-stage Ace in the Hole." Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (339 miles from Philadelphia) Dan Friedman - Magic Show Photo of The Circus Arts Society The Circus Arts Society "Jesse and his Circus-In-A-Suitcase workshop were an absolute highlight of our Downtown Cambridge BIA event! Jesse's communication was seamless, making planning a breeze. He captivated the children with his engaging and interactive performance, leaving them smiling and excited. Beyond that, he has an incredible ability to energize the entire crowd, creating a fun and lively atmosphere. Jesse's talent and professionalism made him a wonderful addition to our event, and we can't wait to work with him again! - Jasmine Percival, Admin Coordinator, Downtown Cambridge BIA" Based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada (366 miles from Philadelphia) 11th August 2026 Jasmine Percival - The Circus Arts Society
