How To Make Your Festival Unforgettable, Successful, and Fun ... Guaranteed!
Quality entertainment that gets everyone involved and keeps them laughing is one of the major keys to making your festival dynamic and impressive. But there are so many options to choose from. Do you hire a band? A piano player? A speaker? It's frustrating to try and figure out something that will please everyone, isn't it?

5 Powerful Reasons I Can Help You Make Your Event The Best Ever
1. Clean Humor. You’ll be thrilled as you hear your guests laugh and see all the smiles during my very funny and clean presentations of magic, ventriloquism, and escapes.
2. More Audience Participation Than You Can Shake A Stick At. Your visitors and guests are the real stars of my program. This makes your event fun for everyone!
3. Amazing Magic & Escapes. Solid steel rings melt through each other close up and surrounded by the audience, a volunteer locks the magician up in “The Old Wooden Stocks” and the magician attempts the daring escape, a volunteer from the audience is sawed in half ... a lot of fun. Plus much more!
4. Guaranteed Results. If after my program you are not completely satisfied, I respectfully ask that you tear up my check. I make this bold guarantee because out of the hundreds of programs I’ve presented no one has ever requested their money back. Once again, I give you this guarantee so you can feel completely confident in your decision to utilize my services.
5. A Proven Track Record So You Can Feel Confident. How can you be confident that the person you hire is really good? Every entertainer claims to be good, but that certainly isn’t any assurance, is it? The best way to know is by what other event planners have to say. Here are a few comments I have received about my programs:
“You brought something new and exciting to the entertained crowds. Thank you so much for your “premiere” performance at the 38th annual festival.” ---The Land of the Loon Committee, Virginia
“It was a complete hit! Thank you for adding a little magic to our Masquerade Ball. Very appreciated.” ---CHOICE Unlimited Arts Program, Duluth
“Your act is delightful and the families enjoyed it a lot. I’m so sorry about the rain interruption, but I will always have a picture in my mind of your valor as you “unroped” yourself and followed the great tradition: “The Show Must Go ON!” ---Pat Feit, ArtSoup Festival, Elk River
An Entertainment Package Guaranteed To Make Your Event More Fun, More Memorable, More Incredible, More Dynamic, And More Enjoyable Than Ever Before…
“Magic Village”
Should this much fun be banned? “Magic Village” is a 45 minute stage show that includes baffling demonstrations of magic, comedy, escapes, the ventriloquist dummy who got “Fired From His Job”, and tons of audience interaction.
Do you want an event that will be remembered long-term? Then “Magic Village” is exactly what you need!
The fee schedule for the 2025 season is as follows:
Gold plan: 3 shows @ 45 minutes $ 1,100
Silver plan: 2 shows @ 45 minutes $ 850
Bronze plan: 1 show @ 45 minutes $ 600

*** Special Feature ***
The Knock Your Socks Off Challenge Rope Escape
(If you’re not wearing socks, this can be painful!)
The special is an escape from 100 feet of rope. Since volunteers from the audience tie me up in any way they can, there’s never a guarantee that I’ll get out! You’ll not only be stunned but also delighted when you hear all of the “oohs” and “ahs” coming from everyone.
