Ventriloquist DC Mickan
"Doug Mickan is AMAZING!
Doug had visited our Church in June, after performing at 2 local libraries earlier that day. He provided such quality Christian entertainment that evening that we booked him for our BIG outreach event of the year...FAMILY FUN DAY. Doug not only ministered that morning to our entire Church through worship and his gift of ventriloquism, but then stayed to be the main attraction at Family Fun Day that afternoon. We would highly recommend Doug Mickan to any organization or ministry. 100%"
Michael J Mayosky Studios
"We hire Michael for our Annual Holiday Gala to paint at the event to be auctioned at the end of the night, and his work raises the most bids out of all our donated items. His spinning easel is incredible and he is so fast at painting an amazing image that always matches our theme. I HIGHLY recommend Michael for any high end charity events for entertainment that is pretty impressive."
Magic, comedy, geek
"We've booked him several times, and the crowd loved it every time!"
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"
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)."
Richard Passaro Mentalist and Psychic Ente
"We have contracted Richard several times over the years. His act is always amazing and entertaining. He always leaves our guests with plenty to contemplate."
