INCREDIBLE!!! WILL HIRE AGAIN!!

I hired Em for my husbands 30th birthday which was a small dinner party. Em is absolutely amazing!!!! I had a lot of skeptics in the crowd and he amazed them very quickly! Em was the highlight of the evening and truly created a memorable birthday party that my husband and our friends will always remember. He was able to create such a fun and entertaining environment and his act will have you wondering "how he did it" all night long! I highly highly recommend him for any event and cannot say enough great things about him! I am so happy I was able to get him for this party and plan on using him in the future for many events. You will be lucky to have this guy at your next event! You will surely have all your friends talking!

Em is spectacular!

I recently held a very classy corporate black tie networking event in NYC. We decided to hire Em for 3 hours to entertain our guest and help people network with each other. Our guest were totally amazed. People are still talking about the incredible magic he performed. Since this was a networking event, people are there to share ideas and become business associates. This can be hard for some people but Em made many people come together through his style of magic. He is the best way to break the ice. He will definitely be at our next event!
Do yourself and your company a favor. Hire Em!!

Awesome

My son only wanted a magician for his 8th birthday. But not any magician!!! He wanted someone to impress him and his friends with card tricks and some cool illusion tricks. Em did exactly that!! He was cool, calm with 25 rowdy boys, and boy did he deliver! They were blown away! So were the adults..... We can't wait to have him come to our own grown up party!

A charming, unconventional entertainer!

I had the honor of watching Em perform at a house party, and like every single person present, was completely blown away. He is nothing like a magician you'd expect, his performances have a personable touch that quickly warms his audience towards him. He even got my dog to perform a trick!
Em's style of magic is so close up and personal, it leaves absolutely no room for doubt, and I'm not even exaggerating. Skeptical friends were left with baffled looks and wide open jaws, the rest were thoroughly enchanted, and all night my mind was dizzy from asking myself, "How did he do that???"
Em isn't just there to dazzle and amaze his audience, he will make you laugh, gasp, clap and even squeal in amusement - he is a natural entertainer, exceedingly charming and knows exactly what to say and do to keep every single person holding their breaths and almost falling off the edges of their seats. He was definitely the center spotlight of the party.
And there I was thinking magic shows were only for kids. But Em made me experience the kind of wonderment and awe that made me feel as though I was five again. I have never been so impressed. Em changed my perception, completely. Thank you for such an enchanting evening!

Book EM! He will Amaze!

My wife and I booked Em for a party we hosted to celebrate my father-in-law's retirement. It was about 45 people of mixed ages (7- 88). Em amazed them all! Could not more strongly recommend. His personality and mastery of slight-of-Hand tricks really drew the audience in - made our event a huge hit! Very kind and professional. I look forward to booking him for our next event. Thanks Em!

Halloween party

Em was awesome!
I had a Halloween party at my house, 30+ people. Em arrived on time, and amazed my guests until the moment he left. Days later people were still wondering how he did his magic & some even had bent fork souvenirs!

I would definitely hire him again!

Awesome performance

My husband and I had seen Emran perform at another party, and he blew our minds! We hired him to perform at our daughter's baptism and he made adjustments to his schedule that day so he could be there. And once again- he did not disappoint! My guests were left in awe wondering how he pulled off some of the tricks, discussing it long after he left! Em is a very talented magician who helped make our party a blast. He is very friendly and super entertaining. We would definitely hire him again.

Mystery Man Em Gives Stunning Performance

Emran walked into our backyard, immediately made himself at home and for the next hour plus amused, amazed and entertained all of the guests at our anniversary party. Completely satisfied. Have no reservations or hesitations in recommending him to perform at any event. Personable, accommodating and incredibly talented. We really enjoyed him.

I have seen several of Em's magic and mind reading performance, for large and small crowds. Each time he has dazzled the audience, and we all wanted to see more of his shows. It was the highlight of our party and the guests couldn't stop talking about it, even after the party because it was THAT GOOD! Thank you Em!

5 Star Performance

We hired Em for our annual company holiday party. Most of my team was skeptical of his work but he knocked it out of the park. He worked the cocktail hour crowd with multiple tricks and illusions that kept everyone captivated. As everyone sat down for dinner, his performance brought smiles and applause throughout the room. He definitely catered very well to the crowd and I would highly recommend him for any corporate or social gathering. I would absolutely hire him again for a future event.

OUTSTANDING!

We hired Em to work one of our conventions and he was incredible. Absolutely professional, on time and was ready to "wow" the crowd and boy, did he ever! We had him roaming the room working the crown and there were times I had to actually lead him away from groups as they just could not get enough and kept wanting more! I would hire him again in a second. Get ready for an evening of jaw-dropping entertainment! THANK YOU EM!

Top Notch!

We were looking for entertainment to have at our annual company 'Summer Fun Day'. After looking up a few options here on GigSalad we decided to book Em for the three hour event. I'm so glad we did because he was awesome! The event was held on a boat and despite some rocky seas, he was top notch. He took the time beforehand to find out the details about our event and came prepared with amazing magic and mind reading entertainment. It was great watching all the employees faces as he was able to bend a fork with his mind and guess their exact birth dates. I would HIGHLY recommend Em for any type of event and we will definitely book him again in the future!

Audience-Captivating Entertainer

I asked Emran to perform at a party for me. I was more than impressed by him. I was surprised. It was a diverse crowd that night composed of people of different ages, nationalities, and work backgrounds, but Emran captivated all of them. The crowd was blown away by what he was doing—people were literally shouting—and, above all, everyone was having a great time watching and participating in the performance.
The first thing you notice is his skill with his hands as he takes old school sleight-of-hand techniques and illusions and works them into a very modern performance. I would describe the experience as like watching an elite athlete perform like Michael Jordan or Roger Federer. He really is that good, no question. I talked to him about this, and he said that he studies the techniques of magicians of the past and those of the present, many of whom he knows personally. When you hear him talk, it really seems like he’s pushing both himself and his art form to be as fascinating and entertaining as possible.
Besides his amazing technical skill, though, what impressed me most was the natural charisma Emran had to captivate his audience. I know some of my friends are very smart and skeptical guys and girls. It made me laugh so hard when I watched their reactions to Emran’s illusions. They really wondered if something supernatural was going on. It’s hilarious to see that happen to people you know, believe me.
Lastly, I should mention the entertainment value of the show. When people think of magicians, a lot of us think of creepy guys who wrongly think they are impressing people with their cheesy tricks. Emran was not like that at all. He really is a very sociable and funny guy who definitely took the party up to the next level. A natural performer this guy. He was always dead-on convincing with his illusions, but his charm and personality really are what I think made his illusions and mentalism work so well. Lots of fun. I’m sure I will ask him to do a show again.
