Robin put on an incredible show for an office party that my colleague and I hosted. He was accommodating & extremely engaging - making sure that every audience member (& there were around 40 of us) was involved in some part of the show). He even went out of his way to do a 1:1 experience afterwards for one of our clients who couldn't make it to the show. Truly above and beyond!

Robin was on time, dressed for the part, and quite entertaining! Our guests are STILL talking about his show! He was very easy to work with and quite personable. Thank you for an amazing show!
Many performers gave me a price and said it was for 45 minutes or 1 hour. Robin Channing did not do that. He said he will come a little early to set up and greet guests as they entered with some mind bending....he stayed well over an hour and everybody had an amazing time. He was entertaining and very energetic. We all had an amazing time at Friendsgiving! Thank you so much!
My campers and staff had their minds blown! Robin was easy to work with. Glad to have had him at our event.

Mr. Channing and I discussed the PTA event I was running for the children at my kids’ school. He assured me that he could tailor his show to be kid-friendly and engaging. This did not work out as I had hoped. Mr. Channing talked about the exorcist to an audience of 5-9 year olds. His tricks were a little long and many were too intense for our age group.

We had a Cub Scout event with over 50 children. He kept them entertained and amazed. It was the best!!

I hired Robin for my husband’s 40th surprise party and he did a great job! He did drilling magic but every room he went to he had people following him to see what he was gonna do next. He definitely wowed my guests and amazed me and my husband. We even got bent forks and quarters as souvenirs lol ... people were talking about him way after he left the party. Overall everyone was well entertained and we all had a great time!

Robin had only two or three tricks which he kept repeating over and over again. Tricks were good, but how many times could you see the same thing, right. Had to let him go a lot earlier than anticipated because of this, not entertaining. Grossly overpaid . Not happy at all with the performance.

Robin was the best he belongs on Americas got talent. I surprised my dad on his 85th bday party and my family with Robin. They were all truly impressed and entertained
our party ranged from kids to adults each of whom left with stories to share with friends
and other family members. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great performance. He was also very personable. 5 stars!!!

We hired Robin to help us out with providing some entertainment for our cocktail hour for our wedding and we don't regret it one single bit. He was professional, well dressed and fit right into the atmosphere. We were looking for someone who would blend right in to the environment without making a big splash, yet could captivate the audience in small groups of 5-10 people or so and that's EXACTLY what he did. His tricks/illusions had people scratching their heads trying to figure out how he did them, which was perfect and what we were looking for. I wouldn't hesitate a single second to hire Robin again. Thank you for making our special day even more special!!!

Robin was great - punctual, flexible and approachable. He entertained both kids and adults and took his time after the show to play a few more tricks for the little ones. That was definitely appreciated especially since most folks run for the door when the hour is up
