Magician Russ Nowack - Hocus Pocus Entertainment

Our church kids and adults thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Nowack's show. Mr. Nowack arrived early to set up and was ready to go on time. Very engaging and entertaining. Several adults got some good laughs. The magic tricks were fantastic and the children were in awe. Would definitely recommend Mr. Nowack to anyone that asks.

Was great from planning all the way through clean up. Very professional, kids loved him and was very entertaining. Would book again in a heart beat!

We couldn’t have asked for more. From beginning to end Magician Russ engaged the audience and we marveled at it all. Scheduling and talking on the phone was easy and professional. You can tell Magician Russ has years of experience and loves what he does- such a fantastic combination. There was no prep work on my end- he took care of it all.

The kids loved all loved it. I heard from a few parents after the party, “my kids were on cloud nine all night” and “my child had a blast and can’t stop talking about the tricks.”

Also- I will definitely be planning another party for grown ups at some point and have a close up magic show. We can’t wait to see what else he can do!

He was so amazing kept the kids and adults entertained very patient and professional enjoyed every bit of it

I booked Magician Russ for a reading challenge incentive at my elementary school. He kept our students engaged and on the edge of their seats! I would highly recommend using him for your next event!

Russ Nowack provided many magical moments and was able to adhere to our safety measures. Engaging entertainment kept the children’s wheels turning with thoughts of “How did he do that?” Magic, of course!

This made my daughter's day!!! All the kids were very entertained and the show was amazing. I couldn't be happier. The value was incredible. Don't hesitate to book Russ for any event.

Russ came to do a performance at our 6 yo bday party and he was great. Very professional and kids laughed a ton. He brought a nice professional set up . Very successful and everyone loved it.

Russ could not have been better with the kids. I’ve never seen a group of young kids sit still and amused/amazed for so long. We couldn’t be happier with choosing Russ.

This was so fun, a crew of mostly 5 year old boys was riveted and he had the parents laughing and ooh’ing as well!

Would definitely book again!

My 6 year old and her friends really enjoyed the show. They were a wild group, but Russ hung in there and kept them entertained. He was a good communicator throughout booking process. We would use him again.

Magician Russ did a great show. Included the birthday boy and his sister into the show. Also found ways to include the other kids. Thank you for making the party special

Russ was a great magician! We had to reschedule a birthday party because one of my birthday twins was sick. He was very flexible and understanding. He showed up right on time and kept the kids engaged and excited.

Magicians Russ Nowack was absolutely Greatt!!! He was very attentive to all tge kids and the adults loved him more. Thank you Russ for making my granddaughters party one i will never forget.

Russ was fantastic. He was awesome with the kids and they really enjoyed it, as did the adults. I would use him again for sure and will certainly recommend him to others.

We wanted to do something different this year so we decided to book a magician. We choose Russ Nowack Hocus Pocus Entertainment and can say that we were extremely pleased with his act. He was excited and ready to go, he kept us entertained and engaged. His act was appropriate for the audience. I would highly recommend Russ Nowack for your next event.

Russ is hard working and entertaining!
Was on time and professional.
Would get him again in a second!

Russ was punctual, great with the kids and delivered a wonderful show. He really had the children laughing and impressed with the magic tricks. He paid special attention to my birthday girl who was very happy to be star of the show. We also felt he dealt very well with interruptions and typical kid behavior.
I highly recommend Hocus Pocus for your next booking!

Can’t say enough about Russ. Everyone was talking about how great it was, even the adults. Would highly recommend Russ. We had a blast and he is top notch!

Magician Russ was fantastic! We had a group of 5-6 year old very active kids, and they were mesmerized the whole hour. They laughed and giggled and were riveted the whole time. So were the adults. Russ was well prepared, arrived when he said, and had a great demeanor with the kids. I would recommend him to anyone!

Russ did a great job at my son's 5th birthday party. He had the kids laughing the entire time. We had an age range from 2.5-11 years old and every kid stayed engaged and enjoyed the entire show. He even had the parents laughing. We had several compliments from parents after the party. I would highly recommend Russ!!

Russ was awesome at my granddaughter's birthday! I have never heard as much screaming from kids. They had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Russ and will hire him again. Thank You Russ!

Russ was incredible! Parents and kids both loved this addition to our event!

My kid had a blast and so did the other kids Thank you

Russ was a class act. He showed up on time and went above and beyond for the event. Thank you Russ.

We hired Russ for our son's 5th birthday party, and it was SO MUCH FUN! We had about 10 kids, ages 2-10, and they all enjoyed it. Our son is still talking about it and telling everyone he sees about "his magic show." He especially loved the juggling and the "flower trick." I think he'll be talking about it for a long time! Even the adults had a great time. Russ showed up right on time and was great with the kids, and the best part was that I didn't have to do a thing to keep them entertained! I would highly recommend him for any age birthday party!

Russ Nowack exceeded are expectations. The videos we found on YouTube did not do him justice. He not only did magic but he threw in a bit of humor for the adults at my 7 year old's birthday party. It was immediately clear that he was comfortable with the children and knew how to keep their attention throughout the 2 hour show! Anyone looking for something a little special to entertain children, should definitely consider hiring Mr. Nowack.

Russ performed for a group of kids (8 - 18) who needed some encouragement over the holidays, and he really delivered! He was clear and available in communication, prompt, caring, and his magic was magical! :) The kids all enjoyed the experience, and we are happy to enthusiastically recommend him.

I honestly didn't know what to expect with the Magic Show, but it absolutely didn't disappoint. Not only did all the kids at the party enjoy the show, but the adults I believe enjoyed it just as much. Russ did an outstanding job of keeping everyone engaged, and I'm not even sure how he did have the tricks. I will absolutely keep him in mind going forward....

P.S. The balloons were a success as well at the party!

This was the second time we hired Russ for our company picnic and both times he was a huge hit with the kids and the adults. He does a great job with the balloons and the strolling magic kept the kids captivated. We will definitely hire him again.

We have used Magician Russ 3 years ago for our youngest son's 5th birthday party and my oldest son loved watching him so much he requested him for his own 10th birthday. Magician Russ wowed the kids and parents 3 years ago, and he didn't disappoint this weekend either. His performance is impressive and he is wonderful with the kids. Magician Russ is so talented and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Russ!

Russ was simply amazing! His stage performance at the 2016 Marina Day Celebration at outstanding and his "close-up" strolling magic captivated our guests. We had attendees from the age of 2 to 82 at our event and Russ entertained each of them. Great magician and outstanding performer. Russ Nowack will be one of our staple entertainers in years to come! Thank you Russ! Green Turtle Bay Resort.

Russ was amazing with the kids and adults! All the children stayed engaged and participated throughout the event. He was very easy to work with prior to the event and kept in contact, making it easy on me. My son was nervous about being the assistant, but Russ made him feel comfortable and very special!! I have recommended him to several people, already!

Magician Russ was truly the life of my son's 6th birthday party! Only a few guests knew each other until after the show since Russ made everyone feel comfortable enough to meet others. I had never seen him prior to the party but the reviews were so positive I thought I would give it a shot...so glad I did! Even the adults were impressed with the magic show and the balloon twisting. A friend there had previously taken a balloon twisting class and couldn't believe how quickly he could make so many shapes. All this to say I highly recommend Magician Russ Nowack!

This was such an incredible experience. Russ was amazing. My 7 year olds party is the talk of the neighbor hood. Book with him and you will not be disappointed!

Whoever heard of having a magician at a 40 year's birthday party? Well we did it and it was fabulous. My son was turning 40 and he has always been amazed with magic so it seemed natural to have Russ entertain at his party. We had a mixed audience with adults and children. The entire crowd was captivated. Russ gave a wonderful performance as well as offering extra time at individual tables and making balloon animals for the kids. He is so personable and engaging. Definitely a skilled magician that anyone would enjoy.

Russ performed for my daughter's 5th birthday party. The kids and adults absolutely loved the performance. He did a fabulous job and I would highly recommend him. He also does a wonderful job on Monday nights at Chick-fil-A on Madison Street. My family loves seeing him there and have been going on Mondays for years just to see Russ. My daughter adores him. I cannot see enough great things about him. He really has a heart made for this.

Amazing doesn't sum it up well enough. What a Great show. He said up to an hour but was there one and a half hours. He made sure everybody ( including adults ) had balloon animals. We had 10-12 kids and 8 adults. He involved the adults in the program as well. Everyone at the party bragged on how great his show was. Worth every penny in my opinion. Also he is a very nice guy if you have the chance to visit with him. We will have him back for sure.

Magician Russ performed at my seven year old's birthday party and was amazing! He kept a room of 30 six and seven year olds mesmerized, a magical fete in and of itself! My daughter heard me telling someone after the party that he was "great", and she said, "Great? You couldn't come up with a better word than that?!" He's a born performer and a true lover of magic, and it comes through in his performance. He's also a master at balloon animals: he made 30 children -- each child getting his/her animal/item of choice (some more than one) -- in just a matter of minutes. Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

Russ was polite, punctual and prepared. A great attraction for the over 3,000 people involved in this years event. The families lined the street to see him perform. He and his wife were completely professional and we are looking forward to working with him again.

Had a party for my 13 yrs old son and Magician Russ arrived early and set up with awesome props. We had children and adults ranging from age 2-70 yrs old, he had everyone undivided attention the entire time, he interacted with everyone, his magic and comedy combined "WOW" the crowd. We even got to participate in many of his acts, it was so much fun having him perform, I will be booking him again for my younger sons birthday party as well. I got so many compliment from everyone after he leave as to how did I find him. Lol. I would highly recommend him for any occasion, he knows how to rock the crowd. Thanks Again Magician Russ for making our party most memorable. See you soon.

We were super impressed with both his talent and professionalism!! He arrived early... was very kind to all guests (and us)... and even took time to re-make balloon art creations for those whose balloons deflated... :O). Not only was he entertaining to the children (our daughter has a 'shy' personality, but he even had her cracking up!!), the adults loved his performance, too!! We highly recommend him in any situation! You won't be disappointed!!!

Magician Russ performed at my daughter's birthday party this weekend. Kids and adults alike loved the show. At the bus stop this morning, he was all the kids were talking about! He made the party so much fun and apparently very memorable! He was very professional and courteous to boot! All in all, an indispensable fixture at all our future events! Thank you Magician Russ!

Magician Russ did an amazing performance at our Easter Bunny Parade. He brought kids up on stage and included them in the show and all the parents and kids were having a great time. Thank you Magician Russ and we look forward to having you out at our next event.

Magician Russ performed at my son's 5th birthday party. He was great -- the kids loved it and were entertained the whole time. He was very engaging and funny. Great party!

Magician Russ was a huge hit at our school's Fall Fest this November. He entertained our students, parents and guests during a 3 hour block with 4 back-to-back shows and there was nothing but positive comments and smiles as each show ended. Our school has used Magician Russ the last few years for our Fall Fest and we will continue to do so in the future. I highly recommend Magician Russ, he's entertaining, captivating and affordable. Thank you, Magician Russ, for another successful night!

We hired Magician Russ for our annual End of the Year Family Fun Night to help celebrate a successful year with our children and their families. Most of our children will be going off to kindergarten, so this night was full of fun, food, games, and laughter. The children and their families LOVED Magician Russ. His people skills were great and he really connected with our families. We hope to have him back for future events.

We hired Russ the magician for our son's 8th birthday party. It was a very enjoyable show for 20 children plus adults. Thank you so much for the wonderful magic show!!

Russ performed for about 15 kids for our son's birthday party, and both the kids and the parents raved about him. He was prompt, fast in setting up, performed for a full hour and kept everyone's attention! I highly recommend him.

We hired Mr. Hocus Pocus for a Reading Reward party. He performed to approximately 400 students. First he did a small group with some children who had just studied a magic unit. Then he did two magic shows, one for the younger students and one for the older students. Both shows were appropriate for the audiences. He was not only entertaining for the students he made all the teachers laugh also. It was definitely a great value for our money. I would recommend him to anyone.

Magician Russ was wonderful! He performed for my son's Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet. We had over 50 kids and they were mesmerized! Magician Russ is very talented. He kept kids AND parents engaged for the entire show. It was a lot of fun.
He was professional from the first phone call until we wrapped up. His rates are very reasonable.
I will definitely use him again & recommend him to others. Fantastic!

Mr. Russ, aka 'Hocus Pocus' was the highlight of my child's birthday party. Funny, engaging, age appropriate entertainment, tailored to our event. Both kids and adults enjoyed. Professional throughout. Thanks Mr. Russ!

Awesome! The Children an the parents loved him. Thank you again..

Mr. Ross, got to the party long in advance to be fully prepared and to know what else was going on so he could help us direct the children. He adapted the show to the age of the audience and was very respectful of the children likes. Adults also enjoyed the show. I highly recommend Magician Russ Nowack. We will hire him again and recommend him to all of our friends.

Magician Russ performed for my son's 6th birthday party at my home. His performance was amazing! The kids had fun, learned a little magic, and laughed a lot! Russ was on time, courteous, and well worth the price! I highly recommend him!

We hired Russ Nowack to perform at my daughters 7th birthday party. Everyone had such a great time he kept the kids completely engaged for the entire show. It was a wonderful addition to this special day and I would definitely recommend Russ to anyone looking for an entertainer. He was very professional. He arrived and set up within a few minutes and was ready to go!

Magician Russ was great! Far exceeded my expectations! I definately recommend him. He is very hands on, and involves others in his show. Fun for the entire party! Very very impressed!!!! Thank you Magician Russ.

We had Magician Russ for our kids joint birthday party, turning 7 and 4. Magician Russ is such a great entertainer and everyone loved the show. He arrive very promptly at the time specified, set up in just a few minutes and captured everyones attention from start to finish. I could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him for any event.

Russ Nowack was a great addition to our Fall Festival. He captured the attention of all ages and very good at involving a large group. His area was always full and was a great entertainer for the residents at Fort Campbell.

I used Mr. Hocus Pocus (Russ Nowack) for my son's 5th birthday party and he was perfect! I had 25 kids ranging from 2 to 10 and they all loved the show. He did a really good job of keeping the kids entertained and I had many parents tell me that their children loved it and that many want to be magicians when they grow up now. Russ also traveled 50 miles to my home in Nashville from his home in Clarksville and did not charge me extra. I highly, highly recommend him. Thanks, Russ, for a great show!

Russ, with Hocus Pocus was fabulous at Christian County High Schoo 2013 Homecoming Fall Festival!!! Our students and families LOVED the acts! I would highly recommend Hocus Pocus....not only for kids but for adults also!

I hired Russ to entertain at my son's 7th birthday, and I'm so glad I did! Russ's show was truly a magical hit, not only for the birthday boy, but for all his guests of all ages...from 3yrs to teens. The kids were in awe, and the parents laughed just as much. Russ has a wonderful talent for entertaining the kids, involving them in his shows and making their faces just light up. He also includes the adults, leaving everyone with a smile and an afternoon of magical moments to remember. Russ was so much fun to have and extremely professional and great to work with, willing to be flexible to whatever time and place he was needed, even at last minute calls. Having never actually hosted and planned out any of my son's birthdays, (leaving it up to chuck e cheese), I was nervous how things would turn out, and wondered if the kids might be to old for a magician, but looking back, I wouldn't have changed a thing. After the show, the kids continued to pretend to do magic themselves and the parents all commented on how wonderful he was. We even immediately asked him to do a show for our local boy scout den at our next advancement ceremony. Russ, we thank you for doing such a wonderful job and hope to see you at many events in the future!

Mr. Nowack performed for my daughter's tenth birthday party. The children in attendance ranged from age three to sixteen and were all thrilled and thoroughly entertained. The adults were amazed and laughing just as hard as the kids. Mr. Nowack immediately establishes a great rapport with the audience, and his show is good, clean, family fun. Everyone was very impressed with his skill, timing, and professionalism. His rate is more than reasonable. This party will certainly stand out as one of the best we have ever given.

My daughter who turned 8 yrs old loved her party!! My concern: how will we top this birthday party!? :) (good problem to have!)

Received many messages from friends that it was very entertaining and not just to the children, adults included!!

Very great audience participation and saved me the work of entertaining the guests!! Well worth the money. My child loved her dog with a meatball inside balloon animal!!

Thank you Mr. Russ Nowack for an absolute flawless performance...The kids had a blast as well as the adults!!! My daughter's sixth birthday will definitely be memorable for years to come! You came through in a major way ALL SMILES! Thanks again!!!!

Russ was fun and entertaining! Not just to the kiddos but for the adults, as well!! We had a blast and we are sure it was a birthday our son will remember forever! Crowd was ages 3-59 and all laughed and had a great time!!! All were shocked and amazed!!

Had a great time, loved how you had entertainment for all ages, from three years old to 14, even the adults had fun! Highly recommend!

I scheduled Mr. Nowack to entertain my Extended Care children for the holiday season. Mr. Nowack came through with "flying colors"... (scarf trick)! He was a comical delight as well as an excellent magician. He was
most communicative and professional in the planning and scheduling of the event. Mr. Nowack was also a reasonable price for his services. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Magician Russ was better then what I imagined! He had not only all the children completely engaged in his show but he had the adults laughing and joining in. He made my son's party that much more special and everyone raved about him after the party was over! He was Absolutely Fantastic!!

I wanted to let you know we had TONS of fun watching your magic show. My son and his friends are still talking about all the cool magic tricks you performed. You stumped me with the rope trick and I was right there helping you. You are AWESOME at what you do. All of the parents asked me for your card, so I hope to maybe see you again. My oldest is even asking if you can come back in March for his birthday. Thank you again for all the fun. You really made his birthday great. I don't know how I'm going to out do his party next year. Hahaha. Thanks again!!

I would just like to say thank you very vey much for putting the icing on the cake during my two sons birthday! They were so happy and even the next following school day, the kids in school were bragging about how awesome my sons' birthday was. The kids very much enjoyed your Magic show and the balloons you provided. The adults were also very amused and as you noticed most the parents were trying to get a calling card from you. That last minute booking I asked for, thank you sooo much for fitting me in your buisy schedule. Godbless!, From the Presto Family

We hired Mr. Nowack for my sons 8th birthday this past weekend and he was absolutely amazing. We had approximately 15 children and 20 adults and he held everyones attention for almost an hour. And with the majority of the children being under the age of 6, that wasn't an easy task to do. My son said this was the best birthday he has ever had! I will most definitely be recommending him to all of my friends!!! Thank you so much for bringing laughter into so many peoples lives!!!

The Golden Corral Restaurant recently celebrated its 8th anniversary and remodel and had Hocus Pocus entertain the guests. Adults and children aike thoroughly enjoyed his magic tricks and balloon twisters. He was outstanding and extremely entertaining.

We hired Magician Russ Nowack to perform both small, magic tricks and create balloon animals for our company's picnic. We hired him for three hours, and for the entire time he had a line of children waiting to get balloons or to see his magic. He was extremely professional and easy to work with.

We decided to reward students that participated in our candy bar sale with a magic show. This wasnt something we had ever done before but the kids LOVED it. They enjoyed participating in different magic tricks. We will definitely we calling Mr.Nowack back out to perform for the students at St.B Elementary!!!!

Russ performed for my 6 yr old's birthday party. All the children, including a few teenagers were amused. I loved how he involved even some of us parents. I will most defiantly use Russ Nowack again.

Magician Russ did a show at my childs' 4th birthday party and was a hit! All the kids were glued throughout the show, were included in some tricks, and talked about it for days afterwards. The adults too were amazed and impressed with his magic. I would highly recommend. Thanks so much Russ!

Every one including the parents had a great time! Magician Russ is very entertaining and funny! We had lots of children and all eyes were locked on the show! The parents as well as the kids are still talking about it a few days later! He also made my daughter as well as other children feel very special! Magician Russ is a must see! ~I highly recommend him for your next event! Thank you Magician Russ for making my daughters birthday special!

Magician Russ performed magic at my son's Birthday party, he turned 8. Russ involved the kids in the show and made it a wonderful event for all involved. The parents of the chldren enjoyed the show as well. Russ was very professional and felt that his material was age appropriate. It was something different to experience for a birthday party, and it was a huge success. We enjoyed the show and would highly recommend Russ for any Magical event or party.

Magician Russ has performed at several events for my company. He is very professional and provides a great show for the entire family. I have seen his work of strolling magic from a booth to stage performances for crowds as well as balloon art. You will not be disappointed. His pricing is also reasonable. Thanks for the magic you provide at our events Magician Russ!

I have worked with Mr. Nowack on three separate occasions now and he has blown us away at each one of the events. Russ goes above and beyond to make the experiences memorable for everyone involved. He has performed for the last two years at our Cub Scout Pack Blue & Gold Banquet and he succeeded in not only entertaining the scouts & siblings but in also keeping them focused and interested in his show--not an easy thing to do with 75+ squirmy children! Russ recently performed during our school's Fall Fest and we heard nothing but praise from the kids and parents that attended the shows. He had a full auditorium (twice in one night!) and all we heard during the shows were "ohhhhh's", "ahhhhh's" and lots of laughter from the audience. Russ involved the kids in the show and made it a wonderful event for all involved. Russ is friendly, professional, and very reliable. I know once I've got him booked that I can relax because he has it covered. Book him today!!

Mr. Nowack did a wonderful job. The children where captivated by his magic. The adults couldn't figure out how he did it. He made my daughter feel special as well as all the other children. Would highly recommend him to anyone who needs entertainment for a party or event.
