Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 13, 2015•From Hebron, IN

Very enjoyable time. My family loved it. He even stayed 20 min after performance to educate kids about card tricks. I highly recommend the Great Boodini!

I am sorry to say this but for an event attended by all adults this was disappointing. Several guests also shared this same opinion. Fine for little kids not adults. Also, having a guest from the audience be the one to get "sawed in half" and not sharing how long the guest should lay on the table or what is expected of them all the way around was in poor judgement. The assistant should be the one to take part in this act, she is aware of what's to be expected and for how long to play out the act.

The Great Boodini was a huge hit at our fundraiser! He really engaged audience members of all ages. He catered to the event by performing when asked and pausing when a speech was happening. He was considerate, nice, and really fun to watch! I would definitely recommend The Great Boodini to anyone!

Halloween Party•Reviewed on December 2, 2015•From Franklin, WI

The Great Boodini did a fantastic job for our library's Halloween event. He entertained the young and old alike, and almost every child wanted to volunteer to help him. His show had magic, mysterious elements, and laughter. What more could you ask for?!

The Great Boodini put on an Amazing Show at the Park Forest Public Library. Everyone enjoyed his unbelievable magic and juggling performance. This show will be the talk of the library for weeks to come! I would definantly hireThe Great Boodini again in the future. If anyone is looking for a high energy, high quality performance with audience participation and interaction, I would call The Great Boodini.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on October 21, 2015•From Chicago, IL

The Great Boodini was GREAT!!!! He was prompt, professional and put on an amazing show!!! My daughter, her friends and the family thoroughly enjoyed the show. He performed card tricks and other illusions that left us all speech less. He sawed my daughter in half. The kids really enjoyed that. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a great show for children, teens & family.

Despite the tight space and noise at the ball factory, the Great Boodini did a great job and everyone had a wonderful time. He is really good with kids and I would definitely use him in the future.

School Assembly•Reviewed on April 10, 2015•From Chicago, IL

I had a school assembly for preschool and kindergarteners and I had the Great Boodini come out and amaze the children and he did just that. He did an awesome job and the children had a great time. I would definitely recommend him to someone and use his services again.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 17, 2014•From Libertyville, IL

Positives:communication was quick and pleasant; arrived on time; good tricks; good interaction with the audience;my 3 kids enjoyed the show and when asked if they wanted TGB at their party they said yes Not positive:never asked name of the birthday girl. She was referred as "the birthday PERSON" (a guest brought it to my attention); the only trick my daughter was called into she didn't understand it;the balloon animals bit disappointing;but most disturbing was during set up, when some kids were touching his material and TGB yelled at them. Everyone stopped and looked in disbelief. I understand been upset but it could have been handled differently.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 2, 2014•From Forest Park, IL

Had a great experience with The Great Boodini at our son's 7th birthday party. He did a great job keeping about 15 first graders entertained for an hour. First half hour was magic and second half hour was balloon animals. Just the right mix for our group. Was clear he is very experienced with this age group. Would definitely recommend him.

School Assembly•Reviewed on September 4, 2019•From Westfield, WI

The communication was excellent and he arrived on time. He was scheduled to perform from 9:45 - 11:00. Due to the school's schedule, we did not start the show until 9:55. The Great Boodini ended the show at 10:50, not fulfilling 10 minutes of his scheduled time. The students enjoyed the light and juggling act to begin the show, as well as the many card tricks. His act is better suited for small venues than large gymnasiums.

You made the event lively! All kids enjoyed to the fullest. Even the adults were impressed. The way you engaged everyone was amazing. The best part was the zombie balloon Thanks again for making this birthday a special birthday!

Celebration•Reviewed on September 22, 2014•From Hickory Hills, IL

Awesome Job! This was a party of adults and kids and he did a great job with both! Juggling knives and amazing card tricks for adults. Making balloon animals for kids. I am already booking him again in late October.

I was happy with the magic performance and business interactions with the Great Boodini. He always responded quickly through email. He was punctual in his arrival and he entertained the guests at our function. The children especially had quite a fun time since he did involve them as volunteers in some of the tricks.
