5/5 from 952 reviews

Zack Percell of TnZ Magic "Zack came to our Elementary School today and performed for our 400 students ages 5 to 10. The kids (and staff) LOVED his show! He was very engaging with the kids, and they were amazed by his magic! He interacted with the kids in the audience, and a few lucky students and teachers were able to assist with the magic tricks, which they all loved! Thank you for the wonderful entertainment!" Based in Rockford, Illinois (280 miles from Minneapolis) Courtney Coulthard - School admin

Edd Fairman, Wizard of Sorts "Edd performed for my daughter's birthday party (6yo/kindergarten). The kids and the adults enjoyed the show. It was funny, interactive, and interesting. The kids laughed throughout and had fun participating in the tricks. He was easy to work with, prompt to set up, and even stayed longer to accommodate all of the kids and their balloon animal choices. I highly recommend Edd and his magic show!" Based in Chicago, Illinois (355 miles from Minneapolis) Katie K - 6 year old Birthday Party

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."
