Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 9, 2024•From Olympia, WA

James was a great entertainer for our corporate event! James was accommodating and reassuring during the planning stages and came through wonderfully during the party. The close up magic was a hit, his stage presence engaging and humor on point. Highly recommend connecting with The Magic James about the needs for your event!

Vikki, Thank you so much for the kind words! It was such a pleasure to perform for your party, everyone was absolutely wonderful. Party's like yours remind me why I love to do what I do! Thank you. James

Everyone had a great time and enjoyed both close up magic and the show that The Magic James performed. The magic was fantastic and the humor was so entertaining. He was a great addition to the 25th Anniversary party for our company!

Our company party happened to fall on the coldest night of the year, but that didn't stop the Magic James from coming out and blowing us away with his incredible and entertaining magic! Highly recommend hiring the Magic James for your event, we had a great experience and are entirely happy with how well things went!

Thank you so much for your kind words Cassie! Your party was so much fun, it was an honor to be included.

Awards Night Party•Reviewed on December 4, 2023•From Ferndale, WA

James did a great job! Everyone was very impressed with the close up magic and will be talking about the night for a while. The event was a recognition dinner for my first responders, James worked the crowd before and after dinner. Everyone had a great time!

Thank you so much, Bill, for your kind words! I thought the party was an absolute blast, and I am glad that the attendees felt the same way.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 17, 2021•From Mountain View, CA

The Magic James was truly amazing! I've hired several magicians in the past, and had a few candidates for this event, but James was a perfect choice for our corporate event. We had a virtual Holiday Party and The Magic James was brilliant as our main event. James is a quintessentially classic entertainer with great personality and engaging energy. He has mastered not just sleight of hand, but also comedy, storytelling, misdirection, and all around showmanship. Clearly adaptable to any situation, I'm sure he would fit any style of event and elevate everyone's experience with his terrific charm. Thank you James! -Kate H. (Office Manager @ Sanbio, Inc.)

Event•Reviewed on April 12, 2021•From Aurora, CO

The Magic James was the entertainment for our Virtual Annual Meeting and every guest LOVED IT! The magic was impressive, the jokes were funny, and he managed to maintain amazing energy with nothing but emojis from the audience. After seeing what he was able to do in a virtual setting I would love to see what he can pull off live!

:

Thank you so much for the kind words, Kelly! Your group was an absolute pleasure to perform for!

Convention•Reviewed on March 15, 2021•From Washington, DC

The Magic James put on a great performance. He is a good showman and has excellent sleight of hand skills. We were very impressed by his professionalism and how well he engaged with the audience. We would definitely recommend him to those looking to hire a magician.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on February 17, 2021•From Chicago, IL

We asked The Magic James to provide a family-friendly VIRTUAL magic act for our corporate networking event. It was something different during a time of zoom-fatigue. Although it was difficult without the feedback of live laughter and internet lag, James still engaged the audience, made us all laugh, and at the end of the day - delivered something special that will be remembered! Thank you!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 12, 2020•From Puyallup, WA

It was awesome! He was great with both adults and the children. Our son was a bit of a heckler and James rolled with the environment. The jokes and tricks were appropriate and fun. He thought the kids a trick and was super polite and we had a lot of fun. It was worth every penny that he was paid.

Holiday Party•Reviewed on January 13, 2020•From Redmond, WA

Magic James was really great! We had a Holiday Party with a lot of medical people present, and he was a huge hit, especially with the surgeons. Their science brains were blown... highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your kind review Erin!!! Your party was a lot of fun and all the guests were great! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed the magic!

James was fantastic! He was a huge hit of the party, and his tricks were out of this world! Would recommend him for any party, large or small.

Brandon, Thank you so much for your kind feedback! You certainly threw an incredible event, and I was honored to be a part of it! Thank you again! James

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 13, 2019•From Bonney Lake, WA

What a guy! I hired Magic James for my mom’s 50th birthday party as a surprise. It was an older group of mostly Russians and Bulgarians so I imagine it was a bit tough for him but he handled it so well! It was a hard crowd at first but James has a way of getting everyone involved, and even let my stepdad step in and show off some of his talent too, and ensured everyone was having a good time and smiling till the end! I’m so glad this is something we went through with. It was definitely an unforgettable evening

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 14, 2018•From Huntington Beach, CA

We hired James to entertain the guests at the holiday party we hosted for our clients. He arrived on time and got right to entertaining the guests. He made sure to walk through the room and include everyone. The magic was great and he was very funny! We got lots of positive feedback about his performance and our choice of entertainer for the event. At the end of the evening some guests were still trying to figure out how he did what he did. We and our guests enjoyed the performance and we were very happy that we chose The Magic James.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 10, 2018•From Huntington Beach, CA

We are so happy with the performance James had at our cocktail hour for a 70th birthday party! The kids and adults were very entertained and he left them wanting more. He was really easy to work with and I highly recommend him for your next event!

Private Party•Reviewed on December 9, 2018•From San Clemente, CA

The Magic James was absolutely fantastic, completely professional, funny, and a delight to work with. His close up magic and slight of hand are phenomenal and he left both me and my guests memorialized even for hours after he left. He provided a great mix of both card tricks, but also original tricks I'd never seen before. I love magic, and while I'm a complete novice, I can tell you his magic is phenomenal. Very pleased with everything!
