Magic, Mentorship, and Memories

Five stars isn't enough! He was our grand finale performer for camp this week, and he made the theme "We Can Do Magic" come to life. Seeing the wonder on the kids' faces (and the staff's) was so fun. Beyond the awesome magic show, he spent quality time after teaching the campers two simple tricks and sharing valuable advice on presentation and confidence. Having worked with him twice now, I can say he is incredibly flexible, easy to work with, and always up for the challenge. Highly recommended!

Amazing show

We recently hired Mr John for our child’s birthday party, and it was an absolute hit! The magician was incredibly engaging, funny, and knew exactly how to keep a group of energetic kids entertained from start to finish. The tricks were impressive—not just for the kids, but even the adults were amazed!

What stood out most was how well the magician interacted with the children. They were invited to participate in the show, which made them feel special and kept everyone involved. The birthday child got to be the “star assistant” for a few tricks, and their face lit up with excitement.

The pacing was perfect, the humor was age-appropriate, and the overall atmosphere was full of laughter and awe. Even after the show ended, the kids couldn’t stop talking about the magic. It was the highlight of the party!

I highly recommend Mr John to anyone looking for a fun, professional, and memorable experience. This was more than just entertainment—it was a magical memory for everyone there.

My group and I wanted to do something for our long distance friend as a birthday gift, John made this whole process a pleasure!
He was able to work with us to deliver the exact type of magic show/surprise we were looking for and everyone couldn’t have been happier with the outcome.
Definitely recommend his services, thanks again!

Fall Fest Magic - The Springs at Wilsonville

John is an absolute showman! We invited him into our Assisted Living and Memory Care facility to perform for our residents and boy did he leave a lasting impression! Not only were our residents completely amazed by his tricks, but our staff hasn't stopped talking about his tricks as well. He was friendly, funny, and such a pleasure to work with. We will certainly keep him in mind for future events! Thank you, John!

What to expect

You can expect John to contact you and ask you questions about what kind of event you are planning. This is beyond what you have listed here, so he can make sure the show he presents is a perfect fit for you and your guest. This means you will be listened to and you will come away knowing that you are in professional and kind hands.

His kids show is about 40 minutes long, and he always strives to involve as many kids as possible, especially the birthday star, or the guest of honor. If space allows, he has a larger illusion that is perfect for a photo opportunity and he almost always leaves the guest of honor with a gift with some magical meaning.

John’s humor is age appropriate and is hilarious. John’s story telling style of magic for larger events can be used to weave in the theme of your event, making the night more magical than you could imagine.

Reach out and contact John to find out why he has so many five star ratings.

About

John W. Stevens (That’s where the JW comes from) has lived in the Pacific Northwest his entire life. Because of this he has performed in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Montana. He has entertained five kids at a birthday party, and over 300 people at the Eastern Idaho Librarian Annual Convention.

John has been performing magic for over 35 years, and has loved every minute of it.

John’s humor is family friendly, as is his show. Above all, John treats everyone with kindness and respect. He lives by this quote: “If I don’t fool you, I am not doing my job as a magician. If I make you feel foolish, I’m not doing my job as a human.” (Jerry Andrus). John loves to mystify you, and leave you feeling better than you did the hour before you came to his show.

Kid’s parties are specialty of John’s and it shows through his reviews from previous clients, and through the attention to your needs in planning the party. He is there to help and to make your party a success.

Strolling magic is another love because it gives John an opportunity to connect with you face to face, and show you mind melting magic, as well as joy and kindness. Wedding Receptions, Business Happy Hours, or Company Picnics or Cooperate Events are just some of the places that John shines when it comes to strolling/walk around magic.

Past Clients include: Many Many Many Special and Amazing Kids for Birthday Parties, Cancer Free Celebrations, Curious Comedy Theater; Papa Murphy’s, Columbia Play Project, Working Magic Group (Real Estate); The Griffin House in Hood River; Price Utah Cultural Connection; Eastern Idaho Librarian Convention; New Moon Festival - Lake Oswego, Oregon; Central Lutheran Cabaret; Blackfoot Idaho’s Annual Library Summer Program; and many others.
