Barry made my friend’s bachelorette party so magical, we are still in shock at some of his tricks and he really cared about making the experience fun and memorable! Thank you Barry, if you’re reading this we cannot recommend him enough!

Wow....thank you for such a great review, Caroline--and thank you for your very generous gratuity, too!
I had a great time performing for all of you. After performing at many different types of "Young Adult" parties within the past year (thanks to Tik Tok, I think) I can definitely say that my favorite ones have been the Bachelorette parties.
I think young women know how to have fun much better than "sports-watching" young men. LOL

May 24, 202610/10 Magic Barry Perfect Magician for Surprise Adult Party!
Magic Barry Entertainment was absolutely amazing and truly helped make my best friend’s birthday party unforgettable! From the very beginning, he stood out as my first choice during my search for magician entertainment because he was not only affordable and reasonably priced, but also genuinely cared about the event, the audience, and the experience we were trying to create.
He was witty, funny, flexible, professional, and had the best attitude from start to finish. He took the time to talk with me, ask great questions, get to know the crowd he would be performing for, and use the information I provided in such a thoughtful and entertaining way. It never felt like he was just trying to charge a lot of money or rush through a service — he actually cared about making the event special.
He was also flexible with our timing and the amount of people in the audience, which I really appreciated. Our crowd was definitely a little rowdy but full of love, and he handled everyone so well! He kept the energy fun, light, interactive, and engaging while making sure the birthday girl felt celebrated and included.
Magic Barry gave me the opportunity to pull off the best surprise for my best friend and our party guests. Everyone was laughing, recording, participating, and fully locked in. It was one of the highlights of the entire night.
10 out of 10 — Magic Barry, thank you! I would absolutely recommend him for birthdays, private parties, celebrations, and anyone looking for affordable, fun, and memorable entertainment. I would definitely book him again!

Dear Chantel, I am down in Cali, Colombia (South America) now and I just saw your review.
Wow!!!
Such a thoughtful and well-written review.
Thank you very much! I might have to hire you to write copy for my new website.😀
I enjoyed myself very much being with you and all of your friends-- and I did not mind that I stayed almost an extra hour. It was one of the best three parties I have ever attended in my many years of performing Magic for young adults.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. My heart feels a little warmer now. 😀

May 10, 2026Fun show, very adaptable, great magic!
Magic Barry performed at my wife's 29th birthday party. While the party was mostly for adults, I failed to let Barry know that there would be kids present as well. Regardless, he put on a fantastic show. He had us laughing, yelling, gasping, clapping. The kids loved it, the adults loved it, we'll be talking about his show for years to come!

Hi there, Stephen.
Thank you VERY MUCH for your wonderful review! (I never ask people to write reviews, but maybe I should start doing that.)
I had a great time at Karla's party. It was very enjoyable for me to entertain all of your guests. As far as being able to entertain the children, too--that is the advantage of me being "emotionally immature!"

About
Magic Barry has been entertaining at both Corporate and Private events for more than 20 years.
Did you know that Magic Barry is also the famous "Dancing Barry" of Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets fame?
As "Dancing Barry" he entertained crowds of 17,505 at Los Angeles Lakers games during the legendary "Showtime Era" of Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and Pat Riley. Barry performed at Lakers games for seven years...a testament to his ability to entertain even the most sophisticated audience in the "show business capital of the world."
When he moved to North Carolina in 1994, Barry encountered a “regional problem.” Whenever he told a potential client that his name was “Dancing Barry” he would invariably get this response:
“Well, we don’t need a Dancing Bear.”
Barry quickly realized that by changing his name to “Magic Barry” he could overcome the Dancing “Bear” problem, as well as give clients a better idea that he performed Magic!
Whether it’s Magic, Comedy, Interactive Game Shows or Deejay Services—you will be getting the very same entertainer who thrilled well over a million fans in the live audiences, plus countless others who saw him on television.
His Interactive Game Shows are a BIG hit with all the clients who are lucky to have 'found out" about them. Game Shows are something that most event planners are not aware of...mainly because they have not seen them before.
Magic Barry has produced Game Shows for a wide variety of events...and he has that "extra special" advantage of being able to offer Close-Up Magic during the cocktail hour before your event begins.
If you are an Event Planner, this is a turnkey system...just give Barry a call, point him in the right direction, tell him the time of the event...and then get a call from your client telling you how much they loved your recommendation!
Magic Barry has a long list of clients that he can refer you to...or, just check out his website!
