I hired Josh for my girlfriend’s birthday party and I couldn't be happier with my decision! We had a small gathering at her apartment where we set up a little viewing area for Josh to perform in front of all of her best friends. I can imagine it’s probably difficult to get up in front of a bunch of women drinking sparkling wine… but Josh was absolutely incredible. He did a fantastic job of engaging the audience, and catering the magic show to my requests.
Not only was his performance spectacular, but I was particularly impressed with his improvisation. He’s great at reading his audience and he definitely tailored a lot of the entertainment to include specific people and make it the most fun for this specific group. He even used random prop items from around the room!
I would trust Josh to make the best out of any event/venue. Aside from the show itself he was also a pleasure to communicate with and made working out details easy/stress free.

Steven AKA Streetsleights was a hit! We collaborated closely ahead of the event to make sure that the surprise element of his performance went off well, and it did. The guests were both surprised and amazed, and he left the room buzzing.
