The crowd was involved and excited to be entertained by terry. He is a must-see showman! Book terry for everything. You won't be disappointed." Based in Eastvale, California (10 miles from Riverside) Robyn Photo of Combustible Circus Combustible Circus "Ed Jamison is a superb performer. He has amazing stage presence and charisma. Watching him play with fire is purely magical. He captivated the audience of my show within seconds. Off-stage, he is professional, warm, generous, and totally reliable. Ed Jamison is a class-act.”" Based in Anaheim, California (31 miles from Riverside) Amanda Callas Photo of magicIAN show magicIAN show "We had MagicIAN at our son's 8th grade promotion party. We had approximately 35 guests, ranging in age from 10-70. All the guests were enthralled with MagicIAN. He began the evening with small group entertainment as they ate appetizers, and then he moved into a dinner show as the guests at their meals. He was punctual, professional and entertaining! Well worth the money! -Yelp Review 6/25/2021" Based in Anaheim, California (31 miles from Riverside) Caren D. - Grad Party Photo of Chris Ruiz Magic Chris Ruiz Magic "I had the pleasure of being a volunteer for Chris’ show at the koroneburg renaissance festival and he kept me in utter suspense the entire time.
