March 11, 2014Repeat Performance!
This is the second time Matt has been with us. We had between 250-300 children and adults for our Upward awards program and Matt holds the attention of all in attendance. His presentation of the Gospel is excellent. Over 30 children responded to Christ.

January 27, 2014Excellent!!
Matt Adams is the consummate professional. We had Matt perform for our Upaward Basketball Awards Night. Matt captivated the audience with his very energetic, funfilled show! Matt also delivered the gospel during his show, changing the lives of several children and adults in attendance. What an awesome night we had, and Matt was still the talk of the church the next day! I definitely recommend Matt Adams for your next event!

December 30, 2013Best Christmas Party Ever
We got inspired to have some entertainment for our Christmas party and hired Matt. He blew the socks off our guests and made it a really memorable experience - especially the squeals of excitement and amazement from our normally staid crew of friends. On the business side, Matt was very easy to work with, punctual and honest. All in all, a great time.

October 29, 2013Completely wonderful experience!!!
I found Matt on the Upward website and called to talk to him. He was prompt in returning my call, friendly during our chat, and more than willing to work within our parameters of need. His booking process is easy, his program is fun and Gospel-oriented, and he is pleasant to work with. Children and adults were captivated by his illusions, and our ministers were very impressed with his presentation of the Gospel. A win/win all the way around!!

Throughout the evening, Matt will help the audience once again experience the thrill of wonder that is often lost as we "grow up." He will do this will amazing visual illusion effects including impossible levitations, mind reading and predictions, and even an illusion that happens right in the hands of each audience member! When you book Matt Adams, you will be treated to an event of the highest caliber and each person will surely leave smiling! And the best part is that many will leave having been radically changed by Jesus!

Matt Adams was a huge success at the 2009 Fair of Forrest County in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Feedback during and after the Fair was extremely positive from kids young and old. Matt provided a large variety of tricks and illusions and did a great job of entertaining the crowd. Whether there were younger kids or more adults and teenagers enjoying the showcase, he always managed to cater to those in front of him. Everyone left the magic showcases with a smile. If you want a quality magician that is great with for crowds of all ages-you should definitely consider Matt Adams.

Matt Adams did a great job at our FCA / YFC club. He had all of the students' attention, and they were on the edge of their seats wanting to see and hear more. The sliced cucumbers were definitely a big hit among the junior high students. Matt shared Jesus as well as his magical talents. I wish we had scheduled a longer show.

Matt Adams did an outstanding job performing at the National Junior Honor Society charity dinner for Discovery Middle School on Thursday, May 14 at the Embassy Suites. He was very entertaining, well prepared, and did an excellent job at involving the audience in his show. We were very lucky to have him come and help us support such a wonderful cause!

I recently hired Matt to perform his magician act at a carnival-themed birthday party for a 5 year old little boy and his friends. There were approximately 30 people in attendance - adults and children, with the kids ranging in age from 2 to 12. Matt was a big hit with every one of them, from the youngest to the oldest. Despite all of the half-dozen other activities and the large amount of sugar the kids had consumed, Matt was able to keep them all enthralled with his magic which is a feat within itself! Matt responded to all of my emails promptly, worked with my schedule, was very kind and courteous, arrived early to the event and looked the part of a professional magician. He put on a stellar act, and I am very satisfied with his services and will definitely book him again.
