Wonderful experience for our daughter's 4th birthday.
We hired Eli for our daughter's 4th birthday party, and he was the total hit of the party. He really knew how to interact with the kids and children alike. He was worth every penny and made life long memories for every child at the party!

Review by Molly M.
Dear Eli,
Thanks so much for making Emily's party such a huge success! She has been watching the video of her party over and over! Her favorite part is where you made her Daddy dance like a ballerina! And - thanks again for not hitting me with the machette! The kids just loved having another kid perform for them. You handled those kids better than any adult I have ever seen. The were spellbound the entire time! Please add me to your mailing list. Emily would like to see you at one of you public shows coming up.

Amazing Eli
Aside from his theatrical bookings which could be anywhere from New York to Las Vegas, Eli performs 10-20 shows a month in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio. In November of 2010, Eli was voted Toledo's Top Talent beating out 23 other acts. In 2008, ABC featured Eli and his family on their hit show Wife Swap.
Eli's banquet show includes his newest award winning Dove Act. Much of Eli's 35 minute show is choreographed to music and involves loads of audience participation. For the birthday parties, Eli changes it up and includes a hilarious bunny production that kids love. Plus they get to pet "Snowball" after the show. Eli is also an accomplished juggler and balloon twister. A triple-treat for your guests!
One of magic’s youngest rising stars, seventeen year old, Eli Portala is no newcomer to the stages of magic. Eli has literally been performing since the age of three. At six years old, Eli took first place at Abbott’s magic convention and since then has been winning top prizes at competitions across the country. In 2006, at just 10 years old, Eli took first place at the IBM’s convention in Miami where his talents were also tapped to close the Gold Medal Show. Most recently, Eli became the first recipient of the Siegfried and Roy Tribute Award at the World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas. He was the youngest performer selected to compete at the 2010 SAM, and became the youngest ever winner of the senior stage competition at the 2010 Midwest Magic Jubilee. In spite of all this traveling to and from magic conventions across the country, Eli manages to perform approximately 20 shows a month in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio. “I just love performing,” says Eli, and he will jump at any opportunity to do so. Eli’s 35 minute comedy-magic show is perfect for birthday parties, banquets, school assemblies, club events, you name it. His big show includes ten minutes of his second greatest passion – juggling. Balloon twisting and riding his unicycle round out Eli’s amazing entertainment repertoire.
