"So much energy and charm!
Gig Salad hired Eddy to perform during the registration and greeting portion of a conference we sponsored, and he brought exactly the unique twist we were looking for! He danced, welcomed attendees, and instantly elevated the atmosphere. On top of that, he made the booking and planning process seamless and stress-free. Thank you, Eddy, for kicking things off with so much energy and charm.

Baxley the Mentalist
"We had the pleasure of having Baxley perform at our wedding reception, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience! He did a fantastic job combining mentalism and close-up magic, and it was such a great way to keep our guests entertained while they waited for dinner.
His entire set was incredible, and our guests were genuinely entertained, amazed, and thrilled watching him perform. We especially loved the special trick Baxley performed as part of our “Two Becoming One” moment—it was such a unique and memorable addition to our wedding and made the experience even more special for us.
Baxley was a huge hit with our guests, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for something fun, unique, and memorable for their event. We would gladly have him perform for us again anytime!"
