May 18, 2018Just okay
We were a bit disappointed that Gary was a bit inflexible when it came to dealing with senior citizens. We are a healthcare center for seniors with a large population in wheelchairs and dealing with other senior issues. He seemed insensitive to some of their issues and our requests for him to accommodate them.

Gary Flegal & The Magic of Smiles
Michelle - just read your review and was very disappointed - you are definitely entitled to your opinion, but it seems we must have both attended very different events that day. The set up for the event was in your beautiful and huge outdoor garden and your staff lined the residents around the outside edge of the center garden - many of them too far away from the performance area to actually see the program. Because of my performing experience, I suggested that the residents who were far away be moved closer so they would be able to see and hear. I appreciate the staff for following my suggestion to enhance the quality of the experience for your residents. The residents were very involved in the show and responded enthusiastically, many of them and the staff talking with me afterwards about how much they enjoyed the show. In addition, several residents arrived late and missed the show and I spent some time performing individually for them so they could be part of the fun. I completely enjoyed my time with you and your residents at Adams Place Assisted Living Community in Murfreesboro, TN and working with the wonderful people there.

Mr. Flegal was the life of my daughters' 6th birthday party! Both the children as well as the adults had a blast and were kept well entertained throughout the entire show. Mr. Fleck actually arrived at the venue before we did to canvas the room in order to provide maximum show time to all of my guest. We will use him again an highly recommend his services!

The show includes classic sleight of hand magic, live animals, Mentalism - even a floating table - and audience participation all rolled into a fun package guaranteed to put a smile on the face of everyone there - which is why it's called "The Magic Of Smiles with Gary Flegal." ... "Gary is a master of his craft. His show is designed for all ages. He deviates from the standard fare of magic tricks, and performs effects that have taken him decades to perfect. He always involves the audience, and if requested has a special effect for the guest of honor. Unlike a number of magicians, he always treats his assistants with a level of respect unparalleled in the field. No one has ever been embarrassed on stage with him, and everyone leaves his show with a smile on their face."
