Wedding Reception•Reviewed on February 22, 2019•From Alexandria, VA
Illusions by Vick is an outstanding entertainer and gentleman. We hired Vick to entertain at our daughter's wedding and are very glad we did. He amazed and astonished all. Vick included the bride and groom in the performance with a very sweet trick, produced a bottle of wine for the father of the bride and included other members of the wedding party. Easy to work with. A 5 Star act and a good guy. Highly recommend. Thank you Vick.

Your welcome and thank you June. This was a very special event filled with love and joy. It was an honor and pleasure to be a small part of your daughter and son in law's special day. You are a great audience and a lot of fun.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on February 11, 2018•From Bel Air, MD
I can’t begin to describe how happy we were with Vick’s performance at our daughter’s Harry Potter themed 11th Birthday Party! I have to tell you I was worried for him since he would be performing in front of ten 10/11 year old girls but his Professor Snape was spot on and his knowledge of the series was strong and convincing for even the most proficient fans in attendance! Plus, his performance was amazing!! The adults at the party couldn’t help but all crowd around too. The girls were thrilled and everyone was still talking about him as they were leaving for the evening. His professionalism and attention to detail were impeccable. Highly, highly recommended!!

Thank you Holly, was a pleasure performing for your daughter's Harry Potter themed 11th Birthday Party. Was wonderful to meet everyone there. Your decorations and baked goodies were excellent ;-) .
Thank you for allowing Illusions by Vick to be a small part of a very special day

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on May 7, 2019•From Bethesda, MD
Vick was more amazing than we could have ever expected - his appearance, approach, demeanor, performance - everything went above and beyond. He gave a show for our children's party and one of the kids knocked his table over and broke some of his glasses/props. He continued on with the show in a remarkable way - he was understanding and kind and wonderful. Everyone was mesmerized with him- from the children to the adults in the room.
He even walked into our house in a magical way - he performed a trick for my son involving flames - parents who were intending to drop off their children decided to stay based on this entrance. My son was so impressed. We all were!!!!!

Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 2, 2020•From Bethesda, MD
Vick was great! He was able to do an entertaining and engaging show for my extended family (ranging from 4-80 years old). Everyone was delighted and continued to discuss the performance for days following!

Thank you Nicole. You have a beautiful family and home. Very much enjoyed being a small part of a wonderful celebration.

Community Event•Reviewed on January 9, 2019•From Vienna, VA
Vick arrived on time and was very professional and appropriate for all ages. Everyone loved the show and even people who stopped by our lobby to pick up their packages (we are an apartment community) stopped to watch the rest of his show. This was by far the best turn out that we have had and will gladly recommend him to anyone looking for an entertaining show.
:
Thank you Alicia, it was great performing for your Holiday Event, meeting you and everyone there. Wonderful audience, a lot of fun
Very glad you took my suggestion not to have a "strolling magician" and instead had a real show, where everyone gathers to enjoy, laugh, have fun and share the magic together.
So much more a magician can do in a real stand up show, more magic, more fun, more laughs and more wonder. All around better entertainment experience for everyone.
Thank you for allowing Illusions by Vick to be part of and share a special experience with your residents and staff.

Vick is amazing, amazed us all and made so many people feel special by including them in his performance. I would highly recommend Vick, he was great!!
Review by Kristen W.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 6, 2018•From Rehoboth Beach, DE
Vick was the consummate entertainer on so many different levels... We emailed back and forth numerous times prior to the party at Vick’s urging as he wanted to know as many details about my 80 year old mother as he could in order to tailor the show to her likes. Once he arrived at the party, he immediately engaged people, offering my mother a burning business card... It’s been a few weeks and she continues to talk about how much fun she had. We would highly recommend Vick for any occasion, and would absolutely bring him back for another event!
:
Thank you Kristen! Was a great party. You were spot on, your Mother and her friends are quite lively and a lot of fun! Your mother had me laughing as soon as I came in. Your were a great audience. It was wonderful meeting you and everyone there. Thank you for allowing Illusions by Vick to be a small part of a very special and fun celebration.
Review by Gordon B.
Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 10, 2017•From Falls Church, VA
Vick was responsive from the first moment I reached out through Gigmasters. He had already done homework about the company and me before he started asking questions about what we wanted and options he could provide. Vick showed up at the appointed hour but actually arrived 15 minutes early and parked down the street until it was time to arrive. He setup in my home and provided an entertaining evening for all of the members of the team. It was a great night. Vick is a good guy and a committed professional. I would hire him again if I had to do it all over again.
:
Thank you Gordon, was a sincerely pleasure to meet and correspond with you. You have a good team and it was a privilege to share a program of magic with everyone. Thank you for allowing Illusions by Vick to be a small part of a great night!

Private Party•Reviewed on December 17, 2018•From Silver Spring, MD
We hired Vick for an office holiday party. The audience consisted of a mix of adults and a few children, teens and toddlers. The show was engaging on all levels and to all age groups. The banter, audience interaction, and most importantly the illusions were top notch and everyone had a fantastic time. The event lived up to its Amazing namesake. I highly recommend Vick for any gathering that wants a fun and amazing time.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 22, 2017•From Glen Burnie, MD
My experience with Vick was awesome! I am so glad that I chose him to perform for my husband's 40th Birthday Party! He kept the crowd engaged and entertained during the performance. His illusions had us speechless! I wish that I could've rated him with more stars. Vick was very professional and genuinely a nice guy. Book him! Book him! Book him! I know that I will again!!
:
Thank you!! You put together an amazing party. It was a pleasure to meet and perform for everyone at Big Mike's ;-) 40th. You floored Mike when his surprise gift turned out to be a new car. I'm very glad you allowed me the opportunity to share fun and magic with everyone, this is a night I'll always remember fondly.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 4, 2014•From Columbia, MD
First I want to say we were absolutely amazed with the show. My son and his friends were so amazed and they are still talking about it to this day ????. Vick was awesome , amazing , kind, patient , works wonderfully with kids and has fun with the adults as well !!! One of the performances allowed for us adults to learn something about each other that we didn't know !! Lol it was hilarious and so much fun. You will not regret having illusions by Vick at your next event !! My son had actually been to another performance for kids and he loved that one as well. Do yourself a favor and just say yes to illusions by Vick , you won't be sorry !!!
:
Thank You Suza! Had a great time and sincerely enjoyed performing for and meeting everyone at Alejandro's Birthday Celebration (he is a wonderful young man).
I often say the show is nothing without an audience and you were a great audience, thank you very much! and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be a small part of a beautiful and loving celebration!
Please be well and give my best to everyone.
Best wishes,
Vick

Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 21, 2013•From Washington, DC
Vic was a pleasure to work with leading up to the event. He answered all emails quickly and thoroughly and was incredibly helpful. He was encouraging of my ideas, and helped build the idea of his performance to make it fit well with our company and our event. He arrived early, and felt like an old friend. He was a pleasure to wrok with, and again interested in hearing about what was happening at the event. He worked out tradeshow and our evening party, and both were exceptional. He was independent, and exciting, I had great feedback and saw a crowd around him constantly I definitely recommend Vic! He adds a fun flair, and is a lovely person, and very talented.
:
Thank you Caitlyn, the AUVSI Tradeshow and Mixer are amazing events. It's a brilliant and growing field, I learned so much in a short time from wonderful minds.
YOU did an amazing job putting everything together! Everyone sincerely enjoyed the Mixer and show (guests didn't want me to leave the Mixer), it was a lot of fun and a great experience. Thank you again for allowing Illusions by Vick to be a small part of it.

Celebration•Reviewed on June 27, 2014•From Potomac, MD
Vick was absolutely brilliant! Awesome, as my daughter said. He not only gave an exceptional performance but could communicate with the audience in a special way. He is a talented magician, a great professional, a superb entertainer. He has style, kindness, talent. I was also impressed by how careful he was in the preparation of the show. We spent one year in the US and are now returning to Lisbon where we live. I dare to say that Vick's show is one of the best memories my kids will take home and something they will never forget. Thanks Vick!
:
Your welcome and thank you Helena. It was very kind and an outstanding idea to throw a party for the friends you and your children made during the year you were here teaching at George Washington University. I was an honored to be small part of a wonderful event. It was a great pleasure to perform for and meet you and your family. Thank you for allowing me to create and share magic with you. Please be well, stay safe and maybe someday we'll meet again, next time in Lisbon ;-)

Simply put...Hire this Magician to work your kids birthday party! I did, and he worked closely with me to provide a custom, affordable, and AWESOME expierence. Super safe with the kids, his love of entertaining was clear on his showmanship. Ask about the Henry Potter show! You'll love it!

Thank you Jesse. It was great what you did for your daughter while you are stationed in Afghanistan. Thank you for your service to our country. Sincerely enjoyed working with you, you have a beautiful and special family. It was a pleasure to met and perform for them.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on December 18, 2016•From Rockville, MD
Vick was amazing. We have been to a fair number of magic shows, but some of the illusions that he performed were so new and different that even we were totally surprised. He did a great job of making sure that everyone was engaged, from the youngest guest to the oldest (in an audience ranging from first graders to adults), and was not at all fazed by some of the less cooperative kids. On top of that, he braved some pretty awful weather to get to our party. Overall, we are very impressed and pleased with his performance and are now trying to think of ways that we could have him come perform for us again in the future.
:
Thank you very much Yevgeniya, it was a pleasure to perform for your son's 11th Birthday Celebration, wonderful to meet and perform for everyone there. You have a beautiful home filled with love and fun. I'd love to come back and perform for you anytime.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 10, 2017•From Pasadena, MD
Illusions by Vick was the highlight of the party. His ability to involve the guests age 4- 83 yrs old made for a great time for all. Vick was professional and courteous from our first contact email until he left the party. The guests were talking about his tricks and illusions long after he left. Highly recommend Illusions by Vick!
:
Thank you Bonnie. It was wonderful performing for your Birthday Celebration. Was a very fun party, really enjoyed your theme. The best part was meeting you, your guests and the opportunity to share a little magic and smiles. Thank you again for allowing Illusions by Vick to be a small part of a very special and fun day.

Ok so I was skeptical at first, but how wrong I was Vick was awesome. He is personable, engaging, funny and an extremely talented magician. Vick, Leslie and I are still try to figure out how you did our card trick.... Our guest did nothing but rave about you and the show.
:
Thank you very much Lonnie, it was my pleasure. A great party, wonderful audience and LJ's and the Kat Lounge in Hagerstown is a great restaurant! Am very glad to read to you enjoyed the show (and overcame your skepticism, means a lot to me). Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share magical entertainment with you, your wife and all your guests.

Halloween Party•Reviewed on October 28, 2015•From Reston, VA
After trying for 3 years we were finally able to get Vick this year for our annual Halloween Party. We can see why he is highly acclaimed and in demand. The magic is first rate. Very professional and polished, easy to work with and a lot of fun.
Our guests raved about him, they are still talking about the show. Many said this was our best Halloween party ever, we think this is because of Vick.
He even surprised us with a magic trick gift of a bottle of wine.
We are very satisfied with Vick and highly recommend him to everyone. Book him early if you get the chance
:
Thank you very much Angela. You put on a great Halloween party. It was an honor to be a very small part of a wonderful night. You and your guests were an excellent audience. I had a lot of fun with everyone.
You got me good with the appearing and flying ghost! That was something I'll never forget.
Thanks again

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on December 2, 2014•From Washington, DC
Courteous, autonomous, real professional and really talented !
Got into the house, picked his spot, set-up his table and accessories, greeted the guests(kids) with tricks as they came in and passed by, got ready and...Whoa ! One hour of great show and sophisticated magic tricks, sat down with audience (15+ 9 years old), made them participate to the show, took the time to talk to them and even showed them some trick at the end...Cleaned---up his spot and the confetti's on the floor ;-) and left.
We had several entertainers for BD partys, some of them charged us twice the price for "pre- teenagers" pranks and jokes...Vick plays in a total different league !
:
Thank you very much Laurent. It was a pleasure and I sincerely enjoyed performing for Maelle's 9th Birthday Celebration. You have a beautiful home and a lovely family. It was nice to meet and perform for everyone, you were a fantastic audience.
Am sincerely touched and incredibly fortunate to have the most wonderful clients.
I strive to create a unique and wonderful entertainment experience, seeing reviews like yours are very special to me.
Thanks again for allowing me to be a small part of Maelle's special day.

Vick was amazing! He did a show for my son's 11th birthday party and it was great. The kids loved it as much as the adults. I highly recommend scheduling him for your next event. His communication prior to the event was excellent. He showed up on time and was seamless is setting up for the show. He was very personable and easy to work with. The show was breathtaking and fun. He incorporated the birthday boy into the show and did so with much thought and preparation. There was nothing like watching the kids faces during the show, it was priceless. The adults were very much into it as well, his show was appropriate and engaging for all. THANK YOU VICK!
