Rafael and his assistant Diana are fantastic performers. I would give them a 10 stars review if I could.
I invited them to perform at my husband 50th Birthday. We had a great time. Rafael is not a boring performer. He is a magician and comedian. He engaged a lot of people from the audience in his performance. For days after the show people were calling me and talking about it.
Rafael is very punctual as well. It was easy to schedule and discuss all the details. One phone call and the show was planned.
Thank you Rafael and the Diana for the great time and laugh.

Rafael performed at my Daughter’s 10th birthday. He exceeded my expectations! The fact that he is bilingual Makes it even better. Not only did the kids have fun but the adults had a great Laugh as well. He came in an hour early to set-up and was kind enough to wait for other kids. Thank you Rafael!

Children love him and his a natural. A bit of a dry humor but over all kid friendly. I really was not expecting much but my entire fifth grade students were engaged for an entire 45 minutes. That is incredibly impressive! We loved him and we hope to see him again. He comes with all his pigeons and all the classic numbers of magic you expect for a kid. You do not need to do much as an adult except sit back and relax. He showed up on time and that is golden for a school site. He is professional and yes funny. We are fans and we hope to see him again behind the OC curtain.
PS. Great music set!

I've seen Raphael and Katia perform in Yuma, Az a couple of times.
I love their chemistry.
The illusions are a lot of fun to watch, and they always seem to have fun when they perform.
Raphael does card magic, he's so good!! He engages with the kids and families so wonderfully. He's got the best laugh, and he's just fun to watch.
The sword basket is amazing.
So is the twisty magic illusion.
I like their show a lot!

Rafael and Katia are amazing. Our clients and our staff really enjoyed their performance. Rafael and Katia are very well spoken and professional with everyone. Rafael and Katia showed a genuine interest ensuring everyone had a great time. What we appreciated the most was Rafael and Katia's patience with improvising with our event's schedule and having the willingness to work with everyone. The illusions are absolutely of the hook and hands down one of the most impressive we've seen. We are looking forward to booking Rafael and Katia again for our company events.

Rafael and Katia were AMAZING at my son's Harry Potter 7th Birthday Party. They arrived to the party really early to set up everything which came out great. They had their own props and sound system which went well with our theme. They also brought a really cool snake which the kids loved. The entire show was bilingual which was perfect for my guests. I asked them if they can start the show a little later than what we had agreed on because not all my guests were there yet and I didn't want them to miss the show. They totally agreed to wait for the rest of my guests which made me very

Rafael and Katia just performed at our daughter's 6th and son's 10th birthday party and they were a blast! They were also nice enough to wait to start the show after more kids showed up. They performed to a full house so that was great.They had both the kids and adults fully entertained for the hour! Quite a few people got to be part of the show too so that was extra fun and funny. Highly recommended for your next party!

About 14 years ago, I hired a local Magician to perform at my daughter's birthday party, then i saw Rafael and Katia on Despierta America morning show and i decided to call just to see if the local magician was reasonable in price. Came to find out there was not much of a difference in price I went ahead and booked Rafael and Katia to also perform at the birthday party. The local magician came in and performed a few tricks in the living room and it was ok. An hour later Rafael and Katia came in, and even it was kinda raining Rafael said we don"t mind getting a little wet and performed outside under

Saw Rafael and Katie perform their magic show at the Manhattan Beach library and they did a wonderful job!
They had the kids totally engaged and rolling with laughter throughout the show. A big variety of magic tricks and tons of fun props and sound effects made the show enjoyable for all ages. They did a great job of involving the kids as assistants and participants in the different tricks.
