Nikki is amazing!

I'm an established event producer and always like to bring something unexpected and magical to my projects. Nikki brought the magic to an opening reception for a 3 day conference. Her message was on brand with our event and my attendees were raving about her throughout the conference. I only wish we had her the entire week to keep our guests' excitement going. I plan on booking her again very soon.

Great entertainer!

We had the pleasure having Nikki entertaining our son on his 8th birthday party with a great magic show and balloon animals. Nikki arrived on time and was easy to work with and she was very clear on what she needed to perform. Kids loved the show, would do it again.

Funny and entertaining kids party

Nikki was easy to work with and was able to set up in the park without issue. The kids and parents found the show to be delightful and wrapping up with some balloon art for all the kids was a great way to end things.

Nikki is FANTASTIC

Nikki provided us with facepainters, henna artists, and a bubble station for our company picnic which was attended by about 300 adults and 100 kids. I couldn't tell which station was better received; the kids LOVED everything. Nikki was prompt and professional. I will definitely recommend her to anyone interested in similar services and will be using her again!

Nikki Inspires!

Nikki and her partner delivered an inspirational and powerful performance at a birthday celebration in my garden on a beautiful afternoon. She was thoughtful during the entire process- from the initial event planning to the moment when she flawlessly sang in the air for the guests. Nikki’s originality and artistry truly captured the guests during the performance. Afterwards, guests participated in an acrobatic introduction lesson which proved to be a huge hit. I even surprisingly found myself going to new heights in an introduction lesson. Nikki inspires!

Wonderful

Nikki engaged the children the moment she arrived with her fun bubbles and great outfit. Her face painting was amazing, so much so that a few of us adults did it. We couldn't have been happier and I know we will be hiring her again. Thank you for helping make our company picnic so successful.

Simply Amazing!

The first thing I have to say is Nikki and her partner are the kindest, sweetest souls. So gentle and easygoing. We hired them for a vintage boardwalk party and they were the hit of the night. Talent exudes from this duo. Nikki's original music and her renditions of classic songs compete for grand prize. There's no way to pick the best one! She did a rendition of Over the Rainbow that our guests are still talking about at the end of our conference week. You will not go wrong if you put your trust in Acrobat Musical Magic to pull your event together. She is someone I hope to follow for years to come.

Unique and amazing!

Nikki and her performing partner Link were a wonderful addition to our vaudeville show. They made what is an exquisitely complex act seem effortless. I've never seen an act like this, so the audience was immediately drawn in by the freshness of what Nikki has created. They stayed with her because of the beauty and strength of the act, her lovely playing and singing and her ability to sweetly connect with the audience. A true professional.

The perfect performers for an unforgettable experience!

Nikki Borodi and Glen Saunders for made my best friend's bachelorette weekend extra extra amazing! They are super genuine, talented and gave us a completely unforgettable experience. If you are having an event and want to hire performers or add something super special, you cannot go wrong with these two. Nikki is also completely unique and her act is totally unlike anything any of us had ever seen. She worked with me ahead of the event to pick songs that the bride would love, and performed three totally amazing routines, including her incredible ukelele/acro/singing combo act. Then Nikki and Glen gave us all an acro yoga lesson that was a total blast and definitely something none of us will ever forget.

Professional, and Amazingly Talented!

I host a monthly talk show, called Live Sex in San Francisco. Nikki and Glen were recommended to me, and boy, was I blown away by what I got. Not only were they incredibly professional, but they blew the audience away. They performed several unique songs and were also able to interact and engage the audience- bringing them into the performance. It was a complete hit and my experience with them was utterly beautiful, I'll definitely be hiring them again!

Unique and fun!

I have seen (and done) and ton of acroyoga, but Acrobatic Musical Magic provides something really unique and fun. The audience was blown away by the performance, which seamlessly combined acrobatics, ukelele playing, and singing. At the end of the performance, the host of the show got a chance to fly, which made the evening even more special.

SPECTACULAR Circus Lioness!

I have had the honor of working with Nikki Borodi as an Aerialist, Acro-Yoga performer, Children's Clown + Magician, and Singer-Songwriter among many of her talents. I first met Nikki over a decade ago at the House of YES! in Brooklyn, NYC. I Staged Managed for her Record Release circus show for her Chakra Rock album. During this self-produced show, she swung from aerial silks above the audience, while singing and playing her uke... it was well before Pink ever attempted her trapeze concert. Nikki has continued to blow my mind. We have since collaborated over the years on music videos in Austin and I have booked her for live performance at the Art Outside Festival. Nikki exceeds all expectations in hard work, determination, brilliant invention, and most of all kindness. Not only is this woman a machine, but a caring friend. She shows appreciation and encourages everyone that helps her next leap, leaving a trail of laughter, glitter and good vibes!
