September 30, 2026Nice but kind of rude to the children.
The performance was nice but due to the petting zoo being delayed I asked him to push his time back 30 mins. He agreed but still proceeded to come in before the scheduled time. He also was a bit rude to the children and responded to their questions as if they were adults. This was a 5 year old birthday party. Show was good but I wouldn't book him again. I schedule magicians every year and I've never experienced this.

September 29, 2026Great entertainer and magician!
IYQ Entertainment did a wonderful job! He was on time, setup was quick, balloon animals were a big hit, and the magic show had kids and parents nonstop laughing/engaged! We were so grateful that he had availability for our party and would definitely book him again! Thanks again for such a wonderful experience!

I admit Keith isn't the world's best juggler, but he brings the fun. He has a great attitude, and you can't help but smile when you see him perform... and the Jester's suit, Magical!
