Very happy with Jim Straight Magic!

Jim performed magic for my husband’s 50th birthday party, a casual event with about 50 guests. He did an excellent job mingling with the guests and astonishing them with close-up magic, and then finished with a short show for the whole group. I had numerous guests come up to me and ask where I found the magician and say they wanted to hire him for their own celebrations. Highly recommend!

Fantastic show!

We had a small, intimate gathering for my boss’s birthday, and Jim was the absolute highlight. He kept us on our toes, had us laughing the whole time, and was incredibly interactive and professional. Would definitely hire again and highly recommend!

Great Magician!

Jim was the magician at our wedding and was an amazing entertainer! He did magic for the guests during the reception and then gave us a personal show before the dinner. Everyone talked about him as one of the highlights of the wedding and we couldn't be happier that he was there!

Fantastic Performace

Jim did an excellent performance at a large company banquet. He was very personable and wowed the attendees with his magic.
We plan to have Jim back next year for our Christmas party and I will recommend him to groups that are looking for great entertainment.

Perfect show for our party

Jim was perfect for our party. We were celebrating an 80th birthday party and had a wide range of ages, 2 to 83. The kids were a bit rowdy but Jim was able to handle them and provide a fun show. We all had a great time. In addition, he was very easy to work with and extremely polite. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone.
