October 30, 2025Halloween Corporate Event
Everyone loved the tarot cards, even the most hesitant employee joined by the end of the evening. The readings were the topic of discussion, long after Kevin left. Kevin had a great, inclusive style. It was a perfect compliment to our Halloween event. Definitely recommend.

Cean, thank you for your kind words. I'm also a ventriloquist and a Santa. Our 40" talking Elf-On-The-Shelf, Willie the Red Nosed Whiteboard, and Doug The Talking Dog wish you and everyone at your company a very Happy Holiday!

The magic of the holiday season came alive with Kevin as Santa! I could go on and on, but he was the real deal! I believe!

John, thank you! It was an honor to be your real bearded Santa for WSANA (Worcester Square Area Neighborhood Association). The ride on the firetruck to the Worcester Square location was awesome and your help in getting me back to my car at the fire station was sincerely appreciated. The crowd was amazing and pictures with the families and their pets was so much FUN. Again, thank you!

Kevin was incredible. Professional, humorous, and insightful, he arrived early, set up, and started readings. His sense of humor put everyone at ease and we all felt he really nailed the readings.

Shyla, thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you. Sorry for the delayed response... just seeing this now. Last night I wore my red suit as their Psychic Santa for the Harvard University event.

Santa did a wonderful visit with us. He was on time and called ahead to make sure he understood the family names. He was very easy to work with and was invested in getting it right and he did with flying colors. I had made a list and Santa delivered inside family jokes without a hitch. (Ex. My sister loves to rake and he asked her if she wanted a new rake.) He was great with the kids. He asked the kids quite a few times if the needed to add anything to the list. His jokes and ventriloquist skills often targeted older people. The kids did not get them but we laughed at them. Some were corny. We sang some songs which everyone liked. He was the hit of the party.
