Review by Chris L.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 19, 2025•From Louisville, KY

I recently hosted a Christmas Party with 12 kids ages ranging from 2 - 15 and 7 adults at a restaraunt in a private room. Even before booking, Darshwood was helpful and insightful to make my booking decision. His communication was perfect (he actually chased me down to confirm all the details he needed) He showed up promptly, as scheduled and immediately got to work not only captivating the kids but the adults as well. I did a quick 30 minute show to end our dinner party Darshwood nailed it. Highly reccomend!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 13, 2024•From Columbia, KY

He was super personable with the crowd especially the kids (absolutely had a blast). He's a great magician and very pleasant one of the best decisions we made to have at our wedding. Recommend 10/10!

Richard was amazing! His performance was appropriately geared toward the residents of our retirement community. He engaged multiple residents in the one hour performance. Everyone left the event smiling! Highly recommend him!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 28, 2024•From Louisville, KY

Darsh was fabulous at both individual interactions with participants at a reception and on stage performing. We used him for both types of entertainment on two separate evenings with the same group of people. Everyone was wowed at his magical talents. I would definitely recommend him for either type of performance. His talent and professionalism are both stellar.

Mr. Darshwood was a pleasure to work with! He was very accommodating & was able to easily relate to our high school students. I would recommend him highly to anyone who is looking for entertainment that's just a little out of the box. :)

Community Event•Reviewed on June 27, 2022•From Owensboro, KY

What a great and entertaining family friendly experience. We were concerned with the size of the auditorium being too large but Darshwood pulled out his magic hat and made it an amazing event!! HIGHLY recommended. Our campers were so impressed and the feedback was awesome....

Brian - I can't thank you enough for the glowing review. So appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please feel free to let me know whenever you would like to present another magic show for your campers. All the best, Richard Darshwood

Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 9, 2017•From Batavia, OH

Our guests at our annual Christmas party had a wonderful time. Richard Darshwood was very accommodating and entertained everyone from the beginning of the event to the end. I really liked that he went to individual tables before dinner doing various card and magic tricks. I felt this helped relax people and set the stage for a great show!

Holiday Party•Reviewed on January 10, 2018•From Louisville, KY

Richard Darshwood truly is a charmer. We got more than we anticipated by hiring him. His engagement with our staff and team members was remarkable and he was extremely professional throughout the entire affair - from the moment we first spoke about the event to the very end of his performance and after. He stayed with us the whole night and continued to entertain guests in the most intimate manner. Everyone simply loved him! We're still talking about his show!!! How on earth did he get that dollar int he lemon!?!?!

Community Event•Reviewed on September 26, 2018•From Taylorsville, KY

It was a true pleasure working with Richard Darshwood on this event. This was for an employee appreciation dinner event that included spouses and some children. Richard's talent and the way he engaged the audience was fantastic. He customized the show to the audience and circumstances. Two thumbs up and we will look forward to perhaps having him return at some point in the future. Thanks a million Richard! John Riley, Spencer County Judge Executive, Taylorsville, Kentucky

John, I was so happy to have been selected for your event. It was truly an honor and a joy helping you share your appreciation to the employees of Spencer County and I'm so glad that it was such a success. Looking forward to the next time our paths cross.

Event•Reviewed on November 14, 2011•From Louisville, KY

We hosted a "kids reception" for a grown-ups only wedding and reception. Darshwood was very responsive when we were planning the event and I couldn't be happier at how it all turned out. The kids were so excited and enjoyed every moment of his show. He has a fantastic demeanor with kids. One of my grandkids now wants to learn magic! I am very happy with the whole experience and would recommend Darshwood to anyone planning an event.

Picnic•Reviewed on September 23, 2009•From Bloomington, IN

Entire experience was very positive. The performer arrived on time and did the set up without any problems. Children and adult everyone was very amused and had a fun time. Great Job with all the tricks. They were captivating and interesting. He was very patient with the kids who were jumping on top of him the whole time. I would certainly hire him again for another event.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 17, 2010•From Louisville, KY

I was very please with Darshwood performance. He was very prompt, arriving to our event 10 minutes early. He made my mother's 80th birthday celebration a blast. All our guests were higly entertained and made my mother's bithday celebration extra special.The guests have high praises for Darshwood's talent. He took extra time to spend with guests after his performance and gave some guests and my mother special mementos of the magic event. Thank you very much Darshwood.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on February 20, 2010•From Henryville, IN

This was the first time we have ever hired a magician to come to the house so we were a little apprehensive. He arrived on time and was very well rehearsed. Overall, we were thrilled and very happy with his performance. We would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 3, 2009•From Louisville, KY

We hired Darshwood for our company's annual awards banquet. This guy was absolutely amazing!!! I have seen plenty of magic on TV but nothing compares to the things Darshwood was able to do right in front of us at the table. I have no idea how he was able to get the card I put my own signature on inside his shoe. I'll be freaking out over that for a very long time! I never took my eyes off of his hands! He even had the courtesy of spraying it off with sanitizer and bagging it up before handing it to me as a souvenir. We will definitely be hiring Darshwood again next year. I highly recommend him! Very professional and very entertaining!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on July 29, 2010•From Jeffersonville, IN

Darshwood was extreemly professional and talented. I would recommend him to anyone who wants an entertaining, professional, magician. Darshwood entertained over 150 guests and was a hit with everyone he performed for.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 6, 2010•From Bowling Green, KY

Having Darshwood the Conjurer at this event took it from being ordinary to extraordinary. I am so pleased that I did it. People are still talking about him. Darshwood was the consummate professional in every respect. He worked the crowd in the beginning, put on a fantastic show in the middle, and continued to entertain the guests afterwards which is exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering having a magical entertainer at their special event!
