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.

Response from 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.
Dr. Flegal is prompt and courteous
Professional the entire time, he listens and is very easy to talk to.
The kids loved the show, the adults loved the show.
Would recommend the package with animals.
I cannot thank him enough, the party was a hit

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!

Gary Flegal & The Magic of Smiles provided a fantastic show for our children in the Lebanon Special School Dist. Camp Sacawanna. We have children from Pre-K to 8th grade. They all loved the show and were amazed at everything he did. The children especially had fun when he came out into the audience and starting "pulling" coins from their heads and ears :-) He even got one of their teachers involved.
Do not hesitate to have Gary come and do a show for your event. He is prompt and very professional!

I have had the opportunity to enjoy Dr. Gary Flegal's incredible "Magic of Smiles" performance in a wide variety of venues. He maintains the highest level of professionalism and expertise whether performing for an intimate children's birthday celebration, in an educational setting, as a stage show, in a church, or for a business corporation event. In addition to his proficient craft of magic, Dr. Flegal's instinctive rapport with any audience guarantees a thrilling experience to be had by all.
Without hesitation, I recommend Dr. Flegal's "The Magic of Smiles" for your memorable event.
Look no further for an AMAZING magician!!!! Gary Flegal is "the guy" for your next children OR adult event!
This was our second children's MAGIC party with Gary. The first one was for our son's 9th birthday, and two years later, we hired Gary again for our 6 year old's party! Both events were so memorable and we have Gary to thank for that! Gary is professional, organized, prompt, friendly, great with kids of all ages, and is very enjoyable to work with. Compared with other magicians, his prices are reasonable, and he always calls to check in prior to the party to talk about last minute details and to answer any questions. His magic shows were filled with excitement, awesome tricks, music, audience volunteers, and live animals! He makes the birthday child feel extremely special! The kids and adults were all fascinated by his tricks and always full of smiles! They could hardly believe it when a table went floating up in the air above their heads! How cool!!!! Even the grown-ups were amazed by his talent! Both my son's friends are STILL talking about the parties!!!! Gary filled these children's hearts with a love for magic!
Yes, it's so easy to just book a party like everyone else at some "place" such as a "Bounce" place...but if you are looking for a truly unique way to make your next party a special one, go with Gary Flegal - he will make your child's special day truly MAGICAL! He did for us...TWICE!

Dr. Flegal was a breath of fresh air! His magician skills had the audience roaring with laughter as they secretly diminished their morning stress. His stress relieving tips were useful; and the message as a whole left attendees with helpful hints they can use in their personal and corporate lives to make themselves more productful and less frazzled. He was a pleasure to work with from a professional standpoint and is someone that our city officials would love to see revisit our community in the near future to spread more helpful messages!
