Arrived on time, very professional, and entertaining. Accommodated our small gathering (unfortunately we had five last minute cancellations). Thanks!

Amazing magician! He worked the crowd beautifully and brought such great energy to our surprise birthday party. His tricks were fun, memorable, and had everyone fully engaged the entire night. Truly a wonderful addition to the celebration—highly recommend!

The Great Boodini was wonderful at our Elementary School Monster Bash. The kids loved him and had a great time. He was very understanding and accomodating when we had to reschedule our event at the last minute. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed having The Great Boodini perform for us. He was really talented. We enjoyed the magic tricks, the stories, the laughs and the juggling. He was a great addition to our party! Thanks Great Boodini!

WOW. That's exactly what every adult guest exclaimed when they experienced Boodini's magic at our 500-person charity gala in downtown Chicago. While the black-tie event took place in an elegant, opulent setting, we also wanted the atmosphere to be lively & inclusive — and Boodini took on the challenge perfectly. He did a "floating show," moving thru the crowd to perform close-up magic for small groups, which was a perfect ice-breaker to get different guests laughing and talking as they bonded over how amazed they were. We will absolutely hire him again. I couldn't recommend a better magician for an adult event. If you're considering hiring him, just do it!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on November 17, 2020•From Lafayette, IN

Thank you again for a really incredible experience. It's tough to create a special birthday experience. In a pandemic, it is much harder but The Great Boodini was all in on creating a magical experience while I delivered on the CDC guidelines for the safety of all children. (masks, shields, hand sanitizing on entry, and social distancing for 12 people in a 150 person theatre). The Great Boodini's show, overdelivered on every promise. Juggling, magic, card tricks, illusion. It was crazy! We were on the edge of our seats the whole time. My daughter said it was the best birthday party yet. My teenage nephews said so too. My husband and I think it was too.

The Great Boodini performed strolling magic during an event happy hour. He provided great communication days before, & day of. Never had to worry or wonder if he was going to show up. He did exactly as I asked of him & our guests seemed to really enjoy it. I was unable to see any of his magic as I was busy greeting guests, so I cannot attest to his overall talent, however, I heard good comments from an otherwise tough crowd. I would hire him again!

We had TGB taylor his show to the kids and they Absolutely loved it. Shrieks of joy. If TGB is not a teacher in his other life he should be-he’s got a way with kids. Entertaining for all though.
