Wedding•Reviewed on September 24, 2023•From Windham, NH

I cannot say enough good things about Phil. We had him performing during the cocktail hour of our wedding and he truly made our day magical. He is a true professional. Communication during booking, arriving early, talent, and pure love of his craft. He does so many things that I cant explain, he is so personable and had all of my guests raving about his strolling magic performance all night. At the end of his performance, he pulled my wife and I aside and left us with a heartfelt gift to celebrate our wedding. I don’ know when I will hire Phil for another performance, but I do know I definitely will again. A true delight and unbelievable talent.

Hi Domenic & Emily, I can say without hesitation this was one of the most fun wedding reception I have had the pleasure of entertaining!! Thank you for including me as part of your special day! Magically, Phil Abracadabra Productions https://abracadabraprod.com/weddings/

Private Party•Reviewed on March 1, 2023•From Portsmouth, NH

I recently hosted a Sunday Brunch party for 20 guests in my home. My goal was to find ways for everyone to have fun and avoid a stuffy, boring brunch. Enter Philip Andrew Smith. What an incredible entertainer!!!Wherever there was a group gathered, Philip was there, the center of attention, performing his amazing magic. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Philip. He definitely contributed in making my Brunch party a rip roaring success. Philip is worth consideration if you are looking for entertainment at any function, any level. Philip is personable, charming, professional, on and on and on. I can't say enough. You will not be disappointed.

Private Party•Reviewed on January 15, 2023•From Cumberland Center, ME

Phil was very good with a group of six antsy 12-year- old boys for a little over an hour. He did a lot of card tricks and showed them how to do a few. He also did impressive tricks with linking rings, and coins and balls that appeared and disappeared. The grand finale was producing an adorable bunny. He was professional and pleasant and was able to keep the kids engaged despite their limited attention span. He was flexible about arrangements and was responsible about communicating and arriving on time. We recommend him highly.

Sheila, What a small world that I had met your grandson 7 years ago:) I loved seeing the expressions on his faces as he helped create the magic! What a fun group. Thank you for thinking of me for fun magic entertainment:))

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 30, 2012•From Woburn, MA

Phil was AWESOME! An extremely talented magician, he had us all amazed at the variety of "tricks" he performed. Cards, coins, foam balls, juggling...Phil does it all. And his presentation is also incredible. There were 12 of us at my dad's 90th birthday party and he had all our names memorized within minutes of meeting us. He arrived on time (early actually, coming from Portland, Maine to Wellesley, Mass) and delivered as promised. I'd highly recommend Phil to anyone looking for a magician to captivate, impress and amaze their guests, and who wants to make their function a memorable experience. Now Phil, about that trick with the seven cards...WOW! Thanks!

Mardi Gras Party•Reviewed on May 24, 2012•From Byfield, MA

Phil was super accomodating to our PTA's changing needs and very easy to work with. His strolling magic and show were a big hit with the kids and adults at our event. He went way and beyond what we expected. I would highly recommend hiring Phil for any event!

Grand Opening•Reviewed on May 14, 2012•From Lebanon, NH

Phil performed at a Grand Opening event at a local retail store in West Lebanon, NH this past weekend. We had a face painter, balloon artist, and DJ but Phil stole the show with his magic. He is an excellent performer and very accomodating. If you are interested in hiring a talented magician, I strongly recommed Phil!

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 19, 2011•From Bangor, ME

Phil was fabulous! Here he was working with children of major physical and mental disabilities, and he treated them with such kindness and patience. We were very impressed that he was able to remember their names and he included them in his performances, which made them feel very special indeed. We made an amazing Christmas memory for our granddaughter and for some wonderful other children as well. Thank you, Phil!

Nursing Home Event•Reviewed on August 19, 2010•From Livermore Falls, ME

Our experience with Philip was very good. He was punctual with his arrival, was very accommodating with our outdoor set up and was very engaging with the audience. Philip encouraged audience participation, which was great fun for the children who were attending our function as well as for our Residents and others. Following the performance, Philip took the time to take his adorable white rabbit around to Residents and others so that they could have the opportunity to see the rabbit up close and feel its soft fur. Comments from the crowd were very favorable and fun was had by all.

Banquet•Reviewed on March 21, 2010•From Vassalboro, ME

Phillip Smith performed at our Pack 410 Blue and Gold Banquet. The Cub Scout boys loved him! They enjoyed being included in his act and he kept their attention which is a very difficult task with boys ages 7-11. We will definitely be inviting him back! Regards, Debra S.

Phil was very personable and engaged with everyone regardless of their ability. It says a lot that he was willing to drive such a long way- the parents, children, and staff all enjoyed the *magic* Thank you Phil!

Festival•Reviewed on October 15, 2012•From Laconia, NH

Phil was really FUN. We had him for our retirement community's Fall Festival; he went table to table entertaining residents with magic tricks and then he did about a 15 minute magic show that was very entertaining. The final "trick" of pulling alive rabbit out of a box was a wonderful conclusion and what everyone of course wants to see a magician do. Good fun for all.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on September 14, 2010•From Lewiston, ME

Philip was more than accommodating right from the beginning; he came and did a demonstration for us prior to being booked at no fee. He was an excellent magician and entertainer. He certainly worked with and understood our goal of incorporating safety into the message. He adapted quickly to the challenges of our facility. We were all impressed with his talent and tricks .We would recommend Philip to anyone looking for entertainment for their corporate function.

Philip had a captivated audience of children ages 2 -15. The crowd remained mesmerized by his overall act and he was very engaging with them throughout the show. Adults were impressed by his creative, energetic style. We highly recommend him for small or large venues.
