"We just had Dan's Magic and Art Show at our library for an afternoon show on President's Day, and he was amazing! Dan was funny, professional, and great with kids and crowd control. Would definitely recommend." Jackie S.

"Dan Gogh was very lively and engaging with the children; we had approximately 45 children attend with an age range from 1-4th Graders and Dan was able to captivate all ages. Every moment was filled with something fun and interesting! I've had numerous children talk about him, even a week after the event...wow! Dan was FUN, book him..we will definitely book him again!" Carolynn O

"Wow, wow, wow. Where to even begin?! Dan created a show that not only captured the attention of the children, but the adults too! The show was outstanding and hilarious. I was giggling in the back of the room the entire time! Dan is a wonderful performer, very down to earth and friendly. I would 100% recommend this show to anyone. It's unlike any magic/art show you will ever see!" Samantha I

"Dan Gogh was very enthusiastic with the crowd and was very intuitive with the kids. Even when the kids didn't respond how he needed them, he managed to work with the kids to have them warm up to him. I highly recommend him as a performer because the crowd was very enthused with him and he kept them involved. I cannot rave enough about how friendly, down to earth and kid friendly Dan was during the whole show, I highly recommend him for performances!" Sue M

"Dan performed his Art and Magic Show and it did not disappoint! He had the kids in stitches almost the entire time and they were amazed by his magic tricks. Dan was on time, professional, and a pleasure to work with. He brought all of his own equipment, including a fun backdrop. We will definitely have him back again in the future!" Dawn Z

"Dan was great to work with from start to finish, and his show was extremely well-received, with lots of positive feedback after the performance. We appreciated that Dan incorporated educational concepts on design and color theory into his program, but the kids loved his silliness. Dan also did a great job of handling an exciteable crowd. I would say that he is best for an elementary age audience, but even the adults were amazed by his optical illusion tricks." Ron M

"Dan was phenomenal! His Magic and Art Show was a breath of fresh air! He kept the kids engaged and entertained while combining his knack of art and magic, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Highly recommend Dan Gogh! Anna A

"Dan Gogh is truly one of a kind performer. He demystifies the world of art and design for children by simplifying it to terms they can understand and participate in! A program for all ages - entertaining, colorful and interactive. Book Dan for a fun and educational time!" Lynda F
