5/5 from 1,545 reviews
Photo of Edd Fairman, Wizard of Sorts 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 Katie K - 6 year old Birthday Party Photo of Elijah Edwards #1 Google Comedy Hypnotist 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" Based in Perrysburg, Ohio (208 miles from Chicago) 6th April 2026 Ziggy Rose Photo of Magic by Eric Bedard Magic by Eric Bedard "Eric performed strolling walk around Magic during cocktails, which blew everyone away. Eric is charming, funny and his light hand is impeccable. I thought we only could see this level of magic on America’s got talent. After our sit down dinner, Eric at the stage for a fast paced one hour show that was full of comedy, razor, Sharp, wet, and mind-boggling Magic. Highly recommended."

I heard laughter and sounds of surprise and delight in our lunchroom that I have never heard before. He was on-time, professional, and extremely talented! I would love to have him back again." Based in Columbus, Ohio (276 miles from Chicago) Mary Strout - Corporate Event Photo of Brian Masters | Magician Brian Masters | Magician "Oh my goodness, Brian is amazing!!! I booked him for the cocktail hour at my wedding 8/20/22 to have him moving around interacting with guests. I can’t tell you how many people complimented me about how mind blowing Brian’s performances were. Everyone thought he was professional, king and highly entertaining. He was SUCH a unique touch to our wedding day. I also really appreciated that he stuck around until the bridal party finally arrived and sat down and gave us our own little personal performance. He may have been my favorite part of my wedding day (aside from getting married of course lol)."
