Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 16, 2026•From Stockton, CA
Jacques was an amazing magician for my birthday party. He was professional, funny and put on a great show. He was very skilled and performed tricks that shocked the room! He was on time and very prepared. He recommended splitting the 1hr show into two parts so that we could break for a quick food break in the middle. This worked great and he was knowledgeable about how to run his event. Overall we loved the experience and would hire him again! He was absolutely fantastic!

Thank you Lauren! It was wonderful to entertain you and your family and friends! Much appreciated!

What can I say? Jacques Lord is absolutely amazing!!!
Jacques performed for a family gathering to honor a 90th birthday. His performance was memorizing, funny, and truly magical! The whole house was filled with laughter and genuine awe from start to finish.
Jacques was professional, warm-hearted, responsive and quick to communicate. He made a special day an unforgettable one. I would absolutely hire again!
:
WOW, I am very happy you all had that much fun. Thank you!!!

Mr. Lord traveled over an hour to visit our bachelor party, we had spoken on the phone multiple times and he was patient with our requests and questions.
We didn't want an "inappropriate" Magician and Mr. Lord knew exactly how to tailor the show to a bunch of guys in their 30s without making the show appear childish. He was able to relate to some of attendee's professional lives and quickly made a connection with all of us.
In addition, his tricks were AMAZING and left us all floored. After he left (and drove an hour back home!) all of the attendees were thanking ME for hiring such a cool act. I looked like a hero even though Mr. Lord did all the hard work!
:
Dear David,
Thank YOU for doing all the hard work - hiring me! I simply had a blast with you and your friends! What a night! Thanks again!

Jacques is a true professional! It was a family birthday party for my mother's 80th. there was a mixture of adults and children which were all entertained by Jacques charisma, charm and mystery with lots of comedy. He was very punctual, on time to the party and on time to start but never felt like we were being rushed. He was booked to perform for 1 hour. He recommended two half hour showings which worked out great! Kids were stuck on him like peanut butter to bread. He never once looked at his watch to see was there more than an hour and chatted with everyone. Now all the kids want him at their birthday party!
I would highly recommend Jacques.

Dear Gus and family,

We thoroughly enjoyed Jacques. I was expecting that he'd have to stroll the party and entertain people, but the opposite happened; everyone flocked to him.

Jacques was an amazing delight at our party! This was a corporate party and he took the time to research who we are and what we do to bring that into conversations! He's intelligent, professional, talented, generous and made our cocktail hour memorable. He's the talk of the office today! We can't wait to invite him to our next event!

Mr. Lord was great to have at my son's Halloween Party. He was very accommodating, funny, the kids were enthralled with his magic and he was very curteous and knowledgable. We all enjoyed his act thoroughly. I could tell he is educated beyond his intelligence just like he says. Nice man!

Jacques is a talented magician who had all of my skeptical friends ages 25 to 45 in awe. There was not a jaw in the room that did not drop when he performed his magic tricks. He really blew their minds! His performance will keep you at the edge of your seat and wanting more once it is over.
Needless to say, I am highly recommending Jacques for all types of parties. I promise you will not be disappointed.

He was excellent at keeping everyone entertained during dead time. He didn't steal any thunder away from the guest at all, and he knew the right times to keep everyoned entertained.
:
THank you Denise, for your feedback. Your scores are one of the two lowest I have recieved so I wonder if there is something you are not telling me? Or are you a tough grader? I agree missing the audition appointment the 1st time is worth -0.5 points. I am always willing to improve and hear a good client's feedback. I had a great time and your wedding was a wonderful blend of two families. Good luck and godspeed.

Jacques did a great job with his magic, people got a kick out of some of the tricks he could do. It was a great filler for the party.
We just had one mishap, he required more lighting than we had available, I wished I had know that a head of time to make his presentation even better.
:
Thank you for your feedback. I wish to state that my original agreed bid amount was $350, my requested fee after my performance was $250 and Client paid me $300, a 20% tip on $250. I think Ms. Malone's scores and her gratuity are contradictory. Be that as it may, shame on me for not working out lighting and performance details ahead of time.

Jacques was so great for our party. He was able to entertain seniors, their children and their grand-children. He roamed throughout our party of over 600 guests! Since we had a buffet style brunch, he entertained our guests as they waited in line, making their experience more cheerful. Thank you Jacques!

Jacques did an outstanding job! He was very friendly, polite, funny, and entertaining. He made everyone laugh from the two year olds all the way up to the 40 plus year olds. His personality combined with his talent made his performance wonderful! I received many compliments about him after the party.
My four and a half year old son has been sleeping with the magic card Jacque gave him for two nights in a row since the party!
Thank you!

Jacques was performing at my husband's 40st Birthday party. There was 50 persons and Jacques did some strolling magic and got everyone blown up by his talent. By the end, he had the whole assembly watching his final show. The guests were so "into it", wide open eyes and mouth, just like children. That was great to see everyone so much captivated.
Jacques has very good tricks and he combines them with great stories.
Some of my guests already asked him for a future event in their home!
I highly recommend him as he is really professionnal and he is a very interesting person in the same time.
I wish you all a great party with Jacques the magician!!!

Merci Sophie, tu est tres gentile. Vive La France!

Jacques was great! He was able to tailor his jokes to fit our audience and profession, and combine his magic tricks with it. For this show he portrayed himself as a motivational speaker and he acted and sounded, and used terminologies like a real motivational speaker, but funny! Everyone had a great time and have been aking me where I found him. I will recommende him to any corporate event, particularly for technical audiences.

Hey Minjie, thank you! It was a HOOT to be Phonee Robbins, Motivational Maverick, for your staff meeting. Let's hope Phonee has the opportunity to address other people in the future!
