Nick was phenomenal…!!! We hired him for my daughters wedding shower. Since it was non traditional & they decided for a “couples” vintage sports theme,
Nick had his work cut out for him. But he was wonderful @ incorporating the theme of the event & WOW-ing the crowd!! For days after the shower all anyone could talk about was how AWESOME & COOL the magician/mentalist was. He always responded to all my calls or text promptly. Was always pleasant & fun to talk to. The day of our event he arrived half an hour early & looked “sharp.” Nick is not only entertaining but he definitely knows how

Thanks Nick for a wonderful virtual event. We had family and friends join from 5 different time zones and yet it felt as though we were all in the same room together enjoying your entertainment and each other's company. Nick was also great to work with - tailoring the show and really responsive. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable!

Nick performed at a virtual happy hour for our bi-coastal, multigenerational family and it was a great hit. He involved everyone and the pace and tone were perfect. His act is very professional and entertaining. We are looking forward to seeing him perform in person, but this was especially appreciated during quarantine. Book him!

Nick was AMAZING!!! Very professional! Responded back to emails/calls quickly and efficiently! His studio is very professional and his performance is equivalent to a show you would see on the Vegas strip! The show was an hour long and went by very smoothly! He kept us on our heels and toes with lots of “laughs” and “wows”!!!! Would highly recommend!!

Nick performed at our company party and was so incredible! Not only did he do an hour long show on stage, but he spent over an hour during cocktail hour interacting with individuals and groups for up close mind blowing card tricks. I would highly recommend Nick for your next event if you are looking for someone who is not only a talented illusionist, but also full of personality! What a show!

Seen Nick twice, once at a party and then later when we hired him. Amazing both times. At our party people were blown away. I was asked about 10 times 'where did you find this guy, he's amazing'. Not only are Nick's magic tricks awesome, but he does a great job entertaining and working the crowd. At the end of our party he even played piano. Very talented guy and we will use him at a future party.

Nick performed at our annual company party and was fantastic! He worked the room during our cocktail hour charming and fascinating the guests with his card tricks and mentalism techniques. It was AMAZING to be that close to him and not be able to figure out how he was doing it. We were all so impressed! Then after dinner he put on an hour long show that engaged the audience members and continued to blow our minds! Probably the best performance of this type I have ever seen! Great job Nick!

My wife and I saw Nick for the first time over a year ago for a local bud tender event and we were blown away. My daughter, who loves magic, just turned 18 today and we discovered Nick would be performing at the Firehouse Restaurant in Pacific Beach so we decided to have lunch and check out the show. Nick is such a nice person and great performer!! He came right over to our table and gave us a long and spectacular personal show which again, blew us all away. His slight of hand is top notch and he has some really amazing tricks that had us all scratching our heads in wonder. Follow this guy and

Nick was amazing at my daughter's sweet 16 party. Our family and friends, and her friends, spanned from 8 years old to 95 and they all thoroughly enjoyed Nick's performance. The wandering magic helped to kick off the party and get people to mingle. Nick is a consummate professional-from ensuring that he had the details of the event correct prior to our party, to showing up on time and checking in throughout the event. Hiring Nick will make your event special and have folks talking about it months and years later.

Nick was beyond what I expected. Just to be clear, I had high expectations since he first came to our table at Vin de Syrah close to 8 years ago. I waited that long to finally have an event to book him for, which was my wife's surprise 40th birthday party yesterday.
Nick has really upped his game, which was already impressive to begin with. He worked the room well and blew everyone's mind away. Our party consisted of young kids to middle-aged and his performance blended well. Hope to have another event in the near future so I could book him again.

Had the pleasure of watching Nick work his magic at a birthday party. He is absolutely amazing! I recently went to magic castle in Hollywood (where top notch magicians perform and you have to know someone to get a ticket to go). Nick's acts were definitely on par with what we had seen at magic castle. Our mouths were left agape after every act and couldn't figure out any of his tricks even though we were sitting only a few feet away from him. And to top it off he is very personable. We will be seeking out to watch more of his magic in San Diego where he usually performs!

This was our second time having Nick entertain our guests at a party. By far the best part of the night. His entertainment keeps people mesmerized and in shock and awe for the entire night.
You will not be disappointed in hiring him for your event and your guests will leave the party talking about it for days.
We love him and look forward to seeing him again soon!

I can't even describe how amazing Nick was at our house party. I hired him for my 50th bday party because I wanted something a little more than just the usual. "Mentalist" is a good description for him.
Our friends were blown away! I'm talking some almost to the point of tears! In a good way.
If you are looking to really wow a crowd, look no further. Can't believe I was lucky enough to have him entertain our group.
Many of our friends took his info and I suspect I will see him again at future events. In fact, I'm sure I will.
Nick really made my party memorable

Nick ivory was the magician at out work pool party last Saturday. He was absolutely amazing. At this well attended party nick was able to thoroughly entertain all age groups. He was spectacular and really was the hit of the party! He had a great personality as well. He worked very hard trying to hit nearly everyone at the party! I would recommend him for all occasions! I was the party queen at this party haha joke with one of his tricks! He was awesome!!!!!!! Book him now before he is too famous to do these smaller gigs!!!!!

I hired Nick for our law firm open house and he was the highlight of the night! Nick is talented, energetic, charismatic, and absolutely wowed every one of our clients, attorneys, and guests. Nick is an incredible and entertaining illusionist, no doubt - but I also appreciated his professionalism, communication before the booking and before the event, and how he interacted with our guests. Large scale event planning can be stressful and Nick was a pleasure to work with - and amazing to watch in action! I look forward to any other firm events that we can bring Nick back to (I just hope he will be

I had the pleasure of having my mind f-ng blown, several times by Nick. I feel like a caveman who saw a lighter for the first time. At this point, I'm not sure if my life is a simulation or an immersive science experiment that never ended. I wouldn't invite him to a religious ceremony as people will start questioning everything they've ever been told. Number one sorcery in the contiguous states.

So. Much. Fun!!!
As a fan of close-up magic, I've had the pleasure of seeing multiple shows by multiple magicians over the years. In San Diego, I've been to the Red Spade Theatre (also awesome), and in New York, Monday Night Magic. How awesome was it to find out that there was another magician performing locally here in San Diego!
Nick Ivory is awesome! His show is fun, entertaining, and perfectly tuned for whatever audience he is catering to. I saw him at the Vin De Syrah 7th anniversary party doing sleight of hand at the bar, and I immediately lined up to be his next test subject
