Review by Beth L.

July 4th Party•Reviewed on July 11, 2013•From Aldie, VA

Vick was wonderful to work with and provided superb entertainment at our annual 4th of July event for our members at our private country club, The Club at Creighton Farms in Aldie, Va. I would definitely hire him for future events!

Thank you very much Beth. Had a great time performing at the Club at Creighton Farms 4th of July Extravaganza! An excellent, well planned event, wonderful audience (made a lot of new friends quickly ;-) ) and a beautiful facility. It was a very special evening and an honor for me to be a small part of an outstanding 4th of July Event!!!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 15, 2014•From Shady Side, MD

Vick is an outstanding performer. He personalized the performance, included some of my friends and kept everyone on the edge of their seats. If I had a need for a magician or illusionist I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to others. A great job!

Thank you very much Dave, it was a pleasure and a lot of fun to perform for your wife's X0 Birthday Celebration. You were a wonderful audience and I was sincerely touched by the standing ovation at the end of the perfomace. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of a special day with outstanding people! Hopefully we will see each other again soon

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 22, 2018•From Vienna, VA

We all loved having Vick over to our home for my fiancé’s birthday party. He was on time, creative, funny and made sure that we all got involved and had a great time. I would definitely recommend hiring a very talented and professional performer such as Vick for your next event. He made the night unforgettable. Thanks so much Vick.

Thank you Kayla, you were a great audience, everyone was wonderful and I had a lot of fun (you were up for everything). Sincerely enjoyed performing for and meeting everyone. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of Daniel's celebration

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on January 14, 2013•From Fairfax, VA

Vick was a great performer, he thrilled all in the audience - young and old. He also took the time (more than an hour) to stay back and answer questions for the children, AND he instructed the birthday boy and his brother on how to perform their own illusion (for more than 30 minutes). We had more than 30 people in the audience and he did extremely well with them all - my son couldn't stop saying "he is a REAL magician!!!" to everyone he could talk to

"my son couldn't stop saying "he is a REAL magician!!!" to everyone he could talk to" Thank you Richard! Must admit Derek saying after I performed a few quick effects while loading in brought a huge smile to my face (and he let the guests know as they arrived ;-) ). Having thirty 10 year guests can be challenging but the way you structured the party was wonderful, it enabled the guests and your sons to have a lot of fun! Had a great time after the show with your sons and their guests.

Review by Devin R.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 20, 2014•From Alexandria, VA

Vick was a perfect entertainer for my son's party. He responded right away by email and provided lots of information before he arrived so we would know what to expect. His show was tailored to our desires and personalized for my son. What struck me was how sensitive he was to his audience and what a positive tone the show had. He treated the audience of 8-year-olds with respect (no patronizing) and produced an amazing and fanciful show. He is a wonderful master of slight of hand and other illusions that challenge your perceptions. Thanks Vick!

Thank you Devin, I had a great time performing for Guy's Birthday Celebration. You have a beautiful family and home (love the music room!). Thanks for allowing Illusions by Vick to be a small part of Guy's special day, he is a sincerely wonderful person ;-) .

Review by Samantha E.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 15, 2013•From Randallstown, MD

Vick has truly amazing. He kept 55, 7-8 yr olds constantly entertained. He engaged them visually, as well as verbally. He included different students in each of his performances. They felt like real magicians. All they talked about is being a magician. The best thing a teacher can hear from her students the day before the last day of school is they can't wait to go to the library to get a BOOK on magic. Thank Vick:) Hope to see you next year.

Thank you Samantha! Your review brought a huge smile and a warm feeling. We talk about books in the performance for younger audiences and it's wonderful to hear the students took it to heart and are interested in reading after seeing the show. It was a great time, I sincerely enjoyed performing for and sharing a special experience with your classes. Again please allow me to thank you for choosing Illusions by Vick to be a small part of a special day and allowing me to to help create an interest in learning. I can think of no higher honor. See you next year!

Review by Sherryl S.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 7, 2013•From Owings Mills, MD

Vic was GREAT! Everyone kept asking me where I found him. He mesmerized and entertained the audience. Nobody could figure out the tricks and kept trying to!! I would highly recommend Vic for anyone looking for great entertainment at their next event. When his show was over, our guests were all smiling and talking about it. He was also very nice to deal with; professional, dependable and a fine magician/illusionist.

Thank you Sherryl! You put together the greatest Toga party for David's X0 birthday celebration!! A great idea! Excellent audience, a LOT of fun! Thank you again for allowing Illusions by Vick to be a small part of an outstanding celebration, this was a night I'll never forget ;-)

Retirement Party•Reviewed on July 26, 2015•From Columbia, MD

Illusions by Vick was amazing. He was extremely professional and put on a great show that involved the members of the party. Definitely would recommend Highly satisfied.

Thank you Taron, this was a great and beautiful event filled with a lot of love. It was great to meet everyone and an honor for me to perform there. Your Mother is a very special, wonderful woman. Have much admiration for her and gratitude for the 40 years she taught in the Baltimore Public School System.

Club Event•Reviewed on August 1, 2013•From Woodbine, MD

What a wonderful person! We hired Illusion by Vick to do a show for our camp and to teach magic to our campers for a week. The show was excellent and got our campers excited about magic camp. Vick was great with our campers, his patience, skill and knowledge shine. He taught simple and intermediate magic and also taught acting, improvisation, stagecraft, presentation and some history. The last day of camp the campers put on a show, some were nervous but Vick coached and supported them and made them feel like stars. We couldn't have found a better performer and teacher than Vick! Thank You Vick!

Your Welcome and Thank You Kelly! Am overwhelmed and touched by your kind words. It was an honor and a pleasure to perform and teach at your camp. Am still smiling from the experience and am sure it's a time I will always remember. You and all the counselors were great to work with and the campers were a lot of fun. Seeing them learn and grow and their smiling faces meant a lot to me. Thank you again for allowing Illusions by Vick to be a small part of a great summer camp experience.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 7, 2012•From Columbia, MD

Vick was awesome! I hired him for my fiancé's 30th birthday. The crowd loved him! All of his illusions were mind blowing! He was very fun to watch and everyone kept mentioning how great he did after he left. He was extremely kind and we really thought he was a genuine and honest person. I would totally recommend Vick for events. Thanks Vick! Well worth it!

Your welcome Stacy! Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of Jeff's Birthday Celebration. You put on a really fun party! I had a great time, sincerely enjoyed meeting and performing for everyone there.

Review by Rebecca W.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on September 15, 2013•From Kensington, MD

This was truly "Amazing Magical Entertainment". As soon as my daughter saw a clip of Vick performing magic she told me that he was the one for her party. He was communicative, professional, extraordinarily kind and thoughtful, prompt, flexible and talented. Everyone in the audience was captivated! There were a lot of oohs, aahs, and rounds of applause. His show is appropriate for all ages. He even included a moment where he acknowledged my daughter for raising funds for a charity for a birthday instead of receiving gifts. He made the birthday MAGICAL and I highly recommend his services.

Thank you for everything Rebecca! This is a day that will always live in my heart and memory. Your daughter Lucy is an incredible, amazing girl. So brilliant and loving. I'll always cherish the hugs and smiles. She stopped me once and said she forgot something and had something for me .... it was another big hug ;-) makes me feel like I have the best career in the world. Lucy choosing to donate to the Wounded Warriors charity instead of receiving birthday presents is one of the most beautiful and selfless acts I've ever been privileged to witness. It was a huge honor to perform for Lucy's Special Day.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on September 30, 2013•From Rockville, MD

Vick was great! All my clients raved about him, and kept saying how wonderful he was. I would not hesitate to use him in the future.

Blair, that you! You, Heinan and everyone there at Optimal Network put on the greatest Red Carpet Event! Everything was perfect all the way down to the Opti's ;-) I had a great time with everyone there, sincerely enjoyed meeting and performing for the Optimal Network staff, clients and guests. This was truly a night to remember! Can't wait until the footage goes up on You Tube. Thank you very much for having Illusions by Vick as a small part of an outstanding event! It was an honor, a pleasure and a lot of fun being there!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on May 23, 2015•From Baltimore, MD

Vick impressed everyone at my daughters 8th birthday party young and old. He was on time, very professional and made my daughter's event unforgettable. It's been a week since he performed and she's still asking me how he pulled off those magic tricks. I highly recommend hiring Vick and I will be referring him to my family and friends . Thanks again Vick for making Rebeca's birthday special!

Your welcome and thank you Edward! You put together an outstanding party for Rebeca's Birthday, it was truly an pleasure and a lot of fun to be a small part of Rebeca's special day. You have a beautiful home and a lovely family. Thanks again for having me perform. Please be well. Best wishes, Vick, Illusions by Vick www.illusionsbyvick.com

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on May 17, 2015•From Arnold, MD

He was amazing! Truly made our sons bday party memorable. We had him come dressed as Professor Snape from Harry Potter and he played the part perfectly. Thanks Vic!

Your welcome and Thank You very much David. It was a pleasure. You have a beautiful family (both your son's are wonderful, was fun to get your younger son involved with the show too) and a lovely home. Had a great time and thanks again for allowing me to be a small part of B's special day. Professor Severus Snape a.k.a. Illusions by Vick

Review by John R.

Trade Show•Reviewed on April 30, 2012•From Washington, DC

Vick went out of his way to learn about my company and about our products. He then incorporated what he had learned into his act and illusions. Vick was a joy to work with and I would recommend him for a trade show.

John, it was a privilege to meet and work with you (everyone at the show who knew you has a great amount of respect for you) and everyone at Vireo. Vireo Investments (and Navellier) are solid, respectable companies who have investment philosophies that make sense (and dollars). Having a quality product you can believe in makes it easy to promote and wrap magic/entertainment around. It was fun "working the floor". We accomplished the goal of getting the Vireo name and investment products on the lips and in the minds of attendees. You made that easier by providing quality (and fun) collaterals. Thank you.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 14, 2013•From Elkridge, MD

Illusions by Vick enthralled and amazed our grandchildren and the grownups at our 70th birthday party in the EFI Manor Home. The grandchildren reported that Illusions by Vick was the best part of the party! The adults said he was great, and "Where did you find him?" Vick was very agreeable when we changed where he would set up and perform so the kids were closest. Once ready, Vick introduced himself to all, began with the kids, then included the adults. He knew all the kids' names, including them all in his "magic". He included us and other adults in delightful illusions. We are more than pleased and highly recommend Vick!

Thank you Barney! This was a very special day for you and you wife. The important thing was to create what you envisioned (and we discussed before the party). Your grandchildren liked I knew their names before they told me ;-) and we had a fun discussion after the party. Am glad to get adults involved so everyone can enjoy a little magic (your son came up with a great idea). It was a beautiful, special event, thank you for allowing me to be a small part of it. Best wishes to you, your wife and your beautiful family.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on June 2, 2014•From Gaithersburg, MD

Vick is just Amazing! Very easy handled all arrangements, came on time and swooped all the guest with his performance. Kids from 4 to 13 and their parents were all happy with the program. Two of the parents already asked for Vick's information for their upcoming Birthday parties. Thanks again

Review by Edward H.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on October 20, 2013•From Chesapeake Beach, MD

I hired Vick to perform at my daughter's 9th birthday party. He had my daughter assist with some of the illusions and otherwise made her the center of attention, which she loved. Vick not only has talent, but also a stage presence that makes for a great show. If you are looking for someone to perform a great magic show, I heartily recommend him.

Thank you Ed, it was an absolute pleasure to perform for your daughter's Birthday Celebration! Loved it when I asked towards the end of the performance if she would like 1 or 2 more effects and she said 3 ;-) Glad you were able to get some great photos of her magically "floating butterflies"

Picnic•Reviewed on September 24, 2012•From Leesburg, VA

Vick was very easy to work with from the start. Very cordial, explained in detail what to expect, and wanted to be sure he met our company's wishes. His performance was amazing. Our employees are still talking about him. For our event, he simply strolled among our people rather than a formal sitdown performance. It worked so well and I don't know how he does what he does. He added a dimension of wonderment to our event. Simply great.

Thank you Kim, am very glad we had the opportunity to work together and have Illusions by Vick perform at the ASEC picnic (really great group of people). Was having so much fun with everyone by the time I made it around the pavilion twice the afternoon was over (Time flew by, I thought 20 minutes had passed and it was over 1.5 hours).

Fundraiser•Reviewed on May 15, 2010•From Columbia, MD

I could not have asked for a better performer for our fundraiser. Vick was simply outstanding - so good that we've already decided to have him back again next year. He is incredibly patient, amazingly talented, and fantastically skilled at entertaining children and adults simultaneously. Thanks, Vick, for a GREAT time!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 1, 2013•From Baltimore, MD

I am a Luxury Property Concierge that hired Vick to perform for a JHU birthday celebration and was thoroughly satisfied with Vick. He was early for his performance and extremely personable when we finally met face to face. Our timeline went off schedule and Vick was extremely patient and accommodating, a true professional. I would book his services again without question and strongly recommend his performance.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on September 9, 2014•From Locust Grove, VA

He was the nicest, most polite, kind person you could meet. He did what he said he was going to do and came on time and really included the audience in the show. The people were amazed at the show. I am so glad I found him and his services. Thanks Joan Taylor

Thank you for the very kind words Joan, it was great meeting you and performing for everyone at your parent's 65th wedding anniversary, a truly amazing event! Am very grateful to have this small gift of magic and be able to share it! THANK YOU!!

Vick was fabulous! He made my son's Harry Potter party a truly memorable event. I can't rave about him enough!

Review by Lawrence C.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 6, 2011•From Falls Church, VA

Error in date above. The actual gig date was 30 Jan 2011. Frequent contact with client set everyone at ease. This was a 98th birthday party in a retirement home with an audience of approximately 40, of varied ages. Punctual and communicative as if it were a military operation. All was in readiness...no surprises. Complete ease with his illusions and audience enabled a "wow" growing from illusion to illusion. Got the audience involved up front and kept them glued to his activity. Not only would hire him again but easily recommend him to anyone else = BRAVO. btw, I'd rate Vick Gisin a 6 out of 5 for rapport and ease and communication with the client.

Review by Flavia D.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on June 10, 2013•From McLean, VA

Vick was great with the kids and kept them engaged throughout the performance. Everybody enjoyed the show. The kids ranged in age from 6 to 9 year old and they were enchanted and amazed by Vick. My son is already requesting to have Vick come to his party.

Thank you Flavia. I sincerely enjoyed performing for Sophia 9th Birthday Celebration. She truly is a very special girl. It was a beautiful party and a lot of fun. Thank you for allowing Illusion by Vick to be a small part of Sophia's special day. p.s. Tell John Paul I said hello and when he is ready there is a place for him in the traveling magic show ;-)
