Most of the audience members at our event were in their 70's. They Loved MerMan! Good, clean comedy and fun! We had tableside icebreaker magic prior to the show, and that was the icing on the cake! Everybody got in on the act and really enjoyed the evening. I highly recommend MerMan, he delivered exactly what he promised.

Merman was entertaining and had the adults and kids laughing. Would recommend him if you want to get away from having a boring birthday party.

Merman’s show was great! He was able to keep the children entertained and also the adults. Merman bought our 5 year old daughter on stage and her friends and she absolutely loved it!
Our daughter has not stopped talking about how she was a magician ❤️❤️. Thank you Merman !

It was my pleasure you family and friends were wonderful and Starfire was the real star of the show. Thanks and hope to see you all soon
We had the best 3rd birthday for my son and that is largely in part to merman! He was professional, on time, friendly with my friends and family, great with the children as well as the adults. He knew when to switch gears and go in a different direction to keep the young ones entertained. Seeing the smiles on the kids faces and the laughter in the room helped create memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

Thanks so much for having me the kids and teachers were great and lots of fun
Merman is a true professional in every way! We hired him for our daughters Sweet 16 and he did not fail to impress. Arrived early, helped out in ways that weren't expected and calmed me down when things were going bonkers.
The show was awesome! He had the entire party playing along and laughing at each and everything he did. His show caterers to every age level and thats impressive. Keeping 16,17 and 18 year olds entertained is a challenge and Merman rose to the occasion.
Merman is worth every penny! Don't hesitate to book. His communication skills are superb----be ready for all questions answered and each and every detail explained. I can't rave enough about Merman----He is the consummate professional that takes pride in his magic. Many thanks Merman----You rock!!!

We had the MerMan for our 6 year old's birthday party. He was magnificent! He captivated the kids/adults (all ages) for well over an hour. It was a memorable celebration and we will definitely have him back for another show! Thanks, MerMan!

My teen enjoyed having the Merman perform for his birthday at camp. Merman entertained 60 campers and staff. He worked with the shy ones (the birthday boy) and the willing. He handled the not so nice one like a master of the stage. The party favors were magic tricks--simple and fun. The staff and campers loved everything. The price was priceless.

James was great! He showed up early to make sure he was ready to go when the event started, and provided wonderful face painting and balloon services for the children in attendance. Would definitely recommend to anyone that is interested.

Janet It was an absolute blast hanging with you and the family. Your daughter was such a sweetie that it didn't take much magic ti turn here into a magic princess. It is always a pleasure for us when the family is so nice and ready to have fun. Michele said tell everyone Hello and again thanks for having us!!!!!!!!- MerMan
MerMan did an amazing job ensuring we had enough face painters for our events going on at two separate locations on the same day. We were very pleased with how smoothly everything ran! Highly suggest him.

MerMan performed an excellent show for our Assisted Living Facility on Wednesday, September 21st. I found and booked MerMan via the GigSalad website. Even though it was really short notice, and our budget was tight, MerMan was kind enough to agree to perform a show for us. If you have an opportunity to book MerMan, DO IT! Our residents absolutely loved the show! We all had a fabulous time between the magic/illusion act and Merman's humor! MerMan is so funny and we all literally 'laughed out loud' at his one-liners, puns, and jokes. One of the best parts of the show was when MerMan gave everyone Fortune Telling Fish! Our residents were (and still are) very amused by the Fish and are taking good care of them (per MerMan's instructions)! The only bad thing about MerMan's show is that time goes by so quickly! His act is concise, funny, and keeps you so mesmerized and engaged that you simply lose track of time! The hour flew fast and I wish I had booked a longer show! We certainly look forward to having MerMan come and perform again soon!
