"Magic John" Bendewald

I hired John for a party we held and he was amazing on a variety of levels. 1. His communication was fantastic. Very informative, collaborative and on top of all details. 2. Friendly and pleasant to speak with and be around at the event. 3. He is a fantastic magician! Our friends were amazed by his magic and overall performance. John is confident, knows his stuff and is very engaging. He’s the PERFECT choice for any event. I highly recommend him. I’ve seen other magicians in the past at parties and haven’t always been blown away. John isn’t like that. He is top notch. Hire him. You will not be disappointed.

Saw him at the Magic Castle. His close-up magic kept everyone fully engaged the entire night. He has a great presence — friendly, professional, and incredibly smooth with his sleight-of-hand. What really stood out was his ability to connect with people of all ages and make every interaction feel personal. His magic isn’t just tricks — it’s a full experience.

I had the pleasure of seeing John at a fundraising event. His close up magic skills are amazing and he was able to engage everyone! I can definitely recommend him!

We hired John for a 90 min strolling magic 'performance' at our company dinner reception and he was nothing short of amazing. I also loved how at ease and in tune he was with our crowd and how to draw people in to his magic in a thoughtful and fun (instead of showy/over the top) way.

He showed up right on time, got himself situated and then just got involved -- very low maintenance for the event organizer (me!) which was awesome. Would not hesitate to hire him again for a future gathering, whether corporate or personal. You won't be disappointed! Thanks again, John!

We hired John for our office holiday party and he was the best! He amazed our staff during the cocktail hour with various tricks which made our party so memorable. We would definitely use him again and encourage you to book him too.
