October 2, 2026Great job!
Fritz was great! He was kind enough to perform as Sherlock Holmes to match the theme of our event and he was willing to perform later in the evening so we had entertainment throughout the night. Everyone enjoyed his performance!

Thank you, Jennifer. This show was an interesting challenge for me, being asked to perform as a character from literature. A win-win situation: flad your event was a success.

January 25, 2026Great act!
Mr. Coombs did a fantastic job keeping a crowd of 65 people entertained for over 45 minutes. An all ages show for an 80th birthday party, he kept everyone engaged and laughing with his humor and magic act. I highly recommend him.

April 13, 2025Very dedicated!
Fritz is a very kind man and he was an awesome performer! He drove over an hour to perform for only 30 minutes and he was happy to do it! I recommend using him for any event you may have. He was a very kind person and very easy to work with!!

This was a fundraiser for a group of college kids that work with mentally challenged kids. They were a great group to work with and fun to work with - glad to help out !

May 31, 2024School magic show
Mr. Coombs did a nice magic show for high school students at our school. The students had fun at the show, and especially enjoyed when he involved the audience, and even calling kids onto the stage at volunteers. It was enjoyable for the kids and very reasonably priced.

What to expect
Each of my shows, whether as myself, Merlin, or Seamus O'Foole are designed to be family-friendly entertainment. No "blue" humor and lots of audience participation. If you have a special request for a particular effect ( such as producing a gift for the guest of honor), feel free to discuss your needs with me.
About
I have performed for a variety of audiences, from corporate events, holiday parties, and celebratory luncheons to private parties. I am a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Order of Merlin.
In addition to my comedy magic act, I perform as Merlin, a befuddled yet magical wizard, and as Seamus O'Foole, the Magical Leprechaun.
Representative clients include:
Main Street Kent ( Kent PotterFest/ Wizardly World of Kent),
Youngstown Country Club
Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County,
Mahoning County Bar Association,
Duquesne University,
Kravitz Delicatessen,
Boy Scouts of America,
Trumbull Memorial Hospital,
City of Broadview Heights.
Additionally, I have performed at numerous private parties and dinners.
Additional booking notes
I will need a 15' wide by 10' deep stage area, preferably on a raised platform ( but not a deal killer) from which to perform. If your venue had a sound system that will accommodate a wireless mic ( 1/4" jack), great! If not, I can provide my own. Finally, an off-stage area from which I can prepare and make my entrance.
