Randy performed a virtual magic party for our 7 year old son. 45-50 kids tuned in. Everyone was engrossed. They loved every minute of the show! If you want to make your kid’s birthday special and unique during these quarantine days, Randy is the perfect fit! My son felt so special, even without seeing everyone in person.

Randy did an outstanding job at our Halloween Party this evening. His show was extremely engaging and was quick witted, entertaining and created an interactive and memorable magic show performance. We hired a different magician over the last five years or so, and this was by far the best performance and stood out over the others. Randy is a class act, and I would highly recommend him for your party or corporate event. Thanks again Randy for creating such an unforgettable experience for our friends and family! It was great!!

Randy was the perfect entertainment for my 6 yr old daughter's Birthday party in the park. All kids from 5-9 year olds, including adults were entertained and loved the show. He is very engaging, getting the kids (sometimes adults) involved throughout his show. He is funny and everyone loved it. My daughter says it is the best birthday gift ever! Highly recommend Randy. He is awesome.

Randy was a performer at a school event in my community recently. While his energy was decent and many of the jokes got a positive reaction from the crowd, he just seems off his game. For example, he made a few comments (during a show for kids) about how he does team building for adults and has a lot of "things from companies" to hand out. Strange. There were also several times when he couldn't seem to find one of the supplies he needed for a trick (like a magic marker). He was searching his supply table during the show. A little awkward for a professional magician. But my biggest

We had Randy perform at our home for a party. He was worth every penny. We had a variety of people, 25 adults, 24 kids (ages 4-12) and he had everyone's attention the ENTIRE time. His magic was outstanding and his jokes were perfect. He knew how to make the kids laugh and entertain the adults the same time. He really set the mood for the rest of our party. Working with Randy to schedule and communicating during our initial contact was also very easy. I highly recommend him!!

Randy was the PERFECT entertainment for my 8 year old's birthday party. He and his friends LOVED the magic show. Randy makes the show funny and enjoyable not only for the kids, but the parents too. Our adult friends enjoyed it almost as much (maybe more) than the kids. If you are looking for a great birthday party for your kids -- Magic by Randy is the way to go.

We loved Randy! I hired Randy to entertain at my annual Witches Brew, a Halloween party for 30-40 ladies/moms. Randy was perfect for our group - he mingled doing close-up magic for an hour, then put on a magical show. He got to know all of the guests (remembering every name!) and made everyone feel included. Randy was professional from our first phone conversation and throughout the event. I had complete confidence that he would make my party even more FUN - and he did!! Bravo, Randy!

We invited Randy to perform a magic show for our son's 3d birthday party. He performed for 45 minutes and then made balloons to the kids for the next 15 minutes. Randy was fantastic! He provided a very age-appropriate show for 2.5 to 7 year-old kids (e.g., no card tricks) and ***was able to keep everyone's attention for 45 minutes.*** Time flew by, and we were laughing the whole time (and ooh-ing and aah-ing). His show included not just magic tricks, but also part ventriloquism, part voice imitation, and part comedic acts. It's hard to describe - but I can say that we were absolutely

Randy performed at our 7 year old's birthday party last weekend. He arrived "in character" and started engaging the children right away, even while setting up. His show is a great mix of magic and comedy, he had all of the kids captivated the entire time. He was an expert at knowing what jokes and tricks to use with what ages, as we had a bit of a range. My three year old nephew was laughing as much as my 10 year old son. Also, as stated in other reviews, he was very professional in appearance, punctual and all around easy to work with. We were very pleased!

Hired Randy to do a magic show for over 100 families at a school event. He was professional, timely, confirmed event the day before- left me very at ease.
The show was great! One of the best I've seen. All children ages 2-10 were engaged for 45 minutes- show was funny, exciting, and all around fun! Appropriate show for children with just enough adult humor for all to enjoy! Would highly recommend Randy for entertainment any party, work function etc!!!

Randy just did a party for my son's birthday. He was absolutely phenomenal, made the adults and kids laugh alike and kept the kids so entertained for an hour. He had such a sweet theme and great jokes and tricks. He is truly magical and wonderful. I called/emailed around 8 other magicians and am so pleased that I went with him. He's definitely a creative genius! I highly, highly recommend him!

We saw his performance at Lisle Eyes to the Skies summer event - children's area - a show for children with my husband and two children. We should have left about 5 minutes into it but the kids didn't know any better and wanted to stay. We had to explain to them afterward a few things about Randy so they understood.
Here is my impression after watching the full act - 45 minutes worth:
1. Randy is an unhappy man
2. Randy's act is out of date
3. Randy is inappropriate for children
4. Randy is cynical and sarcastic
5. Randy is insecure and caustic
And now for the bitter detail

Randy created an amazing show for 500+ students - ages 5 - 12 - at our last school assembly. Considering the wide range of ages, he did a fantastic job holding the students' attention and had segments that catered to all. Randy is very easy to work with, communicates via email, phone, and text, and is punctual. Our students thoroughly enjoyed the show and we look forward to the possibility of working with Randy again!
