Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 27, 2025•From Chicago, IL
I cannot recommend Bill highly enough. We brought employees from around the world for our annual meeting, many of them performers and actors, a very tough audience for this kind of entertainment.
Bill came prepared, clearly understanding who we were, and adapted his performance beautifully. Watching the looks of amazement on everyone’s faces was pure joy. They were delighted to be surprised themselves!
The cheers and laughter were priceless. Bill was engaging, friendly, and never intrusive. I would 100% hire him again. If you’ve never booked this kind of entertainment, he will not disappoint.

Thank you so much for this incredible feedback! Performing for your team was an absolute pleasure — the energy, curiosity, and playfulness in the room made it such a memorable experience. Entertaining a group of performers and actors is no small task, and seeing genuine wonder ripple through the crowd was just as thrilling for me as it was for them.
I truly appreciate the warmth, attention, and openness everyone brought to the evening. It's moments like those that remind me why I love doing what I do — connecting people through shared surprise and laughter.
Can't wait until our paths cross again.

Bachelorette Party•Reviewed on March 31, 2025•From Lake Geneva, WI
We had the best experience with Bill Martin at my friend's bachelorette party and I could not recommend them more. Bill is so passionate about what they do - they ask questions about the event, and really care about making it as personal and wonderful as possible. They absolutely went above and beyond. Overall, Bill is a great mix of showing off true magic talent, as well as providing entertainment and FUN to an event!! I could not recommend Bill more if you are looking for a magician - you will absolutely not be disappointed. Bill asked for a photo of the bachelorette to be able to do personalized tricks for and overall made such a memorable personalized show!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 23, 2024•From Batavia, IL
I am so happy that I hired Bill Martin to perform for my husband's birthday! I appreciate the time Bill took to talk to me about the type of content I was looking for so that he could tailor his performance to what I was wanted. Bill was friendly, professional and put on a great show. My husband and our friends were enthralled and delighted by his tricks. Bill had some very creative and mind-boggling tricks that he performed for us.
Above all, my husband really enjoyed the experience. We highly recommend Bill for his talent, creativity and how easy it was to work with him and plan everything. The evening was a huge success!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 21, 2025•From Elgin, IL
Bill was very professional at every step of this event. He made my birthday even more special than it already was. He bewildered my family and friends with the things he showed us! Being the birthday boy, I even got a nice item to take home with me, which has a place on my "Shelf of Awesome things". I can't recommend him enough and will be having him come out again for another event soon!

Dave,
It was a pleasure performing for your party. I'm happy you enjoyed the performance and the addition to your shelf of awesome!
I'm looking forward to performing for you all again!
Thank you,
-Bill Martin

Celebration•Reviewed on February 20, 2025•From Bloomingdale, IL
Bill Martin, The Perceptionist, completely captivated our event. Their ability to read minds and predict choices left us speechless. The most unforgettable moment was when my niece thought of her late grandmother, and Bill revealed the name one letter at a time—it was emotional and surreal. They made every guest feel part of the experience. If you want something truly unique and unforgettable, book them!

Family Reunion•Reviewed on February 20, 2025•From Darien, IL
We were having a reunion with family members we hadn't seen in 30+ years, talk about awkward. So assuming emotions would be high, I decided to hire Bill to break the ice, so to speak. And boy did they ever! Before we knew it, we were so enthralled by the performance that all the awkward energy in the room between family members had fallen away and all that was left was pure joy and love. Bill did that. Bill made that happen. I couldn't be more grateful and I couldn't recommend Bill more.

I was thrilled to provide you and your family some entertainment and make things light and fun!
