Private PartyReviewed on July 12, 2013From New York City, NY

Sam was a great addition to our party--we had a mix of adults and kids of various ages and he was able to adapt to any mix. He was very kind, easy to work with, on time, answered emails promptly--very professional. I highly recommend Sam to add some special to your event.

Samuel was excellent! I can't say enough good things about his performance. All my guests are still raving about his tricks. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a way to enhance a party.

Graduation PartyReviewed on June 11, 2013From Piscataway, NJ

I hired Sam to perform at my Wife's college graduation party. He is an excellent performer and extremely professional. Sam was timely and reliable. He is truly an amazing talent and was by far the highlight of the evening. The memories he provided will last a lifetime. Thank you Sam!

Sam was great! He skillfully crafted an experience for trade show attendees using elements from our overall marketing strategy. That experience helped generate additional leads for our sales representatives. I highly recommend Sam... a true professional.

Sam was very accomodating to our schedule and had it timed very well. All guests had a good time. Keep Sam away from the wine bottles (lol) - our waitress actually thought he was stealing a bottle.

Sam was a great addition to our party, and he mingled among the guests all night. His illusions are unbelievable and had all of us amazed! He is extremely talented and professional. He called beforehand to get feel for what we were looking for and he was on time.

Bar MitzvahReviewed on May 23, 2012From Long Island, NY

Sam was amazing! He was the hit of my son's Bar Mitzvah. I didn't want a "kiddie" magician. I wanted someone who could appeal to all ages and that is exactly what I got! The adults loved him just as much as the kids (maybe more!) We are all still trying to figure out how he did some of those tricks! He was personable and friendly. He even stayed extra time to teach my son some tricks. Absolutely awesome. I WILL definitely hire Sam again in the future.

Holiday PartyReviewed on December 19, 2011From Rye, NY

Sam was great! He was very professional and friendly and very entertaining. We have a small office and our holiday party was at a local restaurant with about 20 people. Sam came during the cocktail hour and mingled with all guests and entertained with his tricks. Everyone loved it. Everyone is still talking about it and trying to figure out how he did everything. He was there but wasnt annoying and was very good at making his way around to everyone. I would definitely reccommend him!

ChristeningReviewed on April 4, 2011From East Rutherford, NJ

Sam arrived early and eager to get started. His magic was very personable and very well received. He had no issues re-performing his magic for those who had missed his trip to their table. The appearing wine bottle and the Yury Gellar fork bending were very well received (Sam brings his own forks). For amusement leave a few of the bent forks on the table for the wait staff to find. I would and will hire Sam again.

Anniversary PartyReviewed on January 23, 2011From Asbury Park, NJ

Sam was everything he promised to be. We had a small group of 12 in a nic erestuarant private room. Sam's tricks were clever and entertaining. His opening appearing wine bottle quickly set the mood with oo's and ahh's. He engaged each of the audience individually with well done card tricks and slight of hand. My friends and family we impressed, and he set a great tone for the rest of the evening. He has a nice easy personality and was easy to warm up to. Overall we would say he was a smash!!!!

"Excellent young man and a most talented slight-of-hand man, his routines were poetry in motion. Perfect adult party entertainment, not stuffy and not too over-the-top. I'd hire him again and I'd certainly recommend him readily." Joseph V. Kuca Land Rover Monmouth

Halloween PartyReviewed on October 26, 2013From Hartsdale, NY

We retained Samuel Gherman to perform magic at my daughter's 13th birthday Halloween party. He was one of several entertainers that we had. As per our request, he roamed around the party room performing magic for kids and adults in small groups. I didn't get to see any performances, but my daughter said he was fantastic. He always had groups surrounding him and the kids seemed to love him. I would definitely use him again (as long as he had new tricks to keep offering)

Private PartyReviewed on December 3, 2010From Rye, NY

I was amazed at some of the tricks that Samuel did like making a wine bottle appear from nowhere! His card tricks were pretty good, too. Not only was he talented,he was able to entertain a wide range of ages as we had adults as well as thirteen year olds at our party. My only complaint was that my husband never saw any of his tricks- perhaps he could make sure that he circulates a little more thoroughly in the future.

Cocktail PartyReviewed on September 20, 2015From New York City, NY

Sam was incredible. Professional in every way. From the second I booked him. He put my mine to ease, talked to me about what i wanted from his performance. He understood our party and the vibe we wanted. Will definitely hire him again for future events. Great magician!

Absolutely great to have Sam. We had several entertainers during our corporate party, and Sam was by far the most enjoyable. Completely professional and courteous...oh, and great at magic, too. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on May 27, 2014From Rumson, NJ

Sam was a HIT! I originally hired him to do two hours at my wife's birthday party but after speaking about the gig, he offered to bring another magician who would do a different style of magic and further enhance the experience ... for NO added cost above my original quotation. In short, Sam is a true professional. He could have taken all the money himself but went out of his way to make sure that the customer was as satisfied as possible at his own expense. Besides that, the magic was AWESOME. The cards, slight of hand and mentalism stuff was mind blowing at times. And I have been trying to bend back those forks all weekend. In short, HIRE THIS GUY!

Bat MitzvahReviewed on May 4, 2014From New York City, NY

Sam was the ultimate professional - arriving early, treating the guests kindly and with respect, engaging everyone in the room on a personal level. He was inconspicuous when he needed to be and dynamic and captivating while performing. Sam entertained both teenagers and adults and all of the guests found his magic to be breathtaking. He far exceeded my expectations and it would be my pleasure to work with Sam again.
