October 20, 2024Magic show
We recently hired LaBak for my girls’ birthday party, and it was an incredible experience! From start to finish, the performance was engaging, fun, and perfectly tailored to a young audience. The magic tricks were fantastic, and LaBak kept the kids (and adults!) amazed and entertained the entire time. The tricks were interactive, and all the kids got to participate, which they absolutely loved. LaBak had a great way with the kids—keeping them laughing, clapping, and fully engaged. He was very patient and made sure every child felt included. Everything was handled professionally from the booking process to the end of the show. LaBak arrived on time, set up quickly, and kept the flow of the party smooth. The performance was age-appropriate and perfect for the group of kids. The kids and the parents are still talking about the magic show. If you're looking for a magician to bring fun and magic to your child’s party, I highly recommend LaBak.
Thank you for making the party unforgettable!

June 14, 2015Go With NOBODY but LaBak! Two Thumbs Up!
I recently booked LaBak for our daughter's 3rd birthday and let me tell you, i would book him again, and again and ten more times. Not only is he professional and courteous, but he shows up early enough to start the show on time is extremely friendly and personable. How is his magic? Top notch! He is a true master of his craft and both the kids and adults were mesmerized as he performed these ticks right before our eyes. Literally, I am still wondering how he pulled some of them off. He has the best price in town and for the amount of experience he has and the show he puts on, it was worth the price and then some. He responds quickly to correspondence and goes over every detail so you can rest assured that if LaBak is your magician for your get-together, your guest's entertainment is in very good hands. He even did an awesome trick where he presented our daughter with an extremely thoughtful gift. So if you're looking for a top notch quality magician, stop looking and starting booking LaBak. You definitely will not be disapointed.

I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to get when I first made my inquiry about magicians……….was I ever surprised!!!! ..... your magic experience was wonderful! The birthday bingo game that you played with them was one of the best and cutest ideas I’ve ever seen. Having the boys scream that over and over again will be a memory that Mitchell and I will never forget! Thank you again for everything that you did – you far exceeded my expectations. I’m sure the boys will be talking about it at school today – and heck, I’ve even been talking about it at work. So, perhaps if anyone in the office ever needs a magician, I’ll tell them how they can magically make one appear!
