November 14, 2021Dinner Party Event
Our church had a dinner gathering and we booked Matt for our entertainment.
Our dinner party of 38 was an older group (over age 50).
Matt is such a nice person and was there before the time he needed to be.
Everyone enjoyed the magic Matt performed. He was also very comical and kept us on the edge of our seat with his magic tricks.
We look forward to booking him for our next event and can not wait to see what other tricks he have up his sleeves.
Make sure you book him, you will not be disappointed…..you will be happy you did!!!
Thanks Matt and keep doing what you’re doing….YOU ROCK!

December 11, 2018Great Performance!
Our party was a huge hit thanks to The Professional Misfit! He exceeded our expectations and had everyone laughing and in awe of the magic. One really great aspect was how he was able to adjust the comedy and magic to the different age groups.

April 8, 2025Great comedy magician
We were looking for a magician who was funny and engaging and that's exactly what we found in Matt. His magic had a lot of the "how did he do that" moments, and he was comical and kept everyone entertained. Highly recommend.

October 13, 2024Kids birthday party
The Professional Misfit was phenomenal for our kids birthday party. Although he admitted that he does not usually service kids, he was able to adapt and put on a show which held the interest of our group just fine. Thanks for a job well done!

About

And when he comes to your next event , you will get to see the madness that has made him a mainstay in the biggest tourist trap in America. Expect an array of magic, juggling, stunts, and just plain old crazy. There is no way to know with this guy!

Influences and inspiration
My main influences for my magic are from my mentor Robert Moreland who I've studied under for the last 4 years. My style particularly comes from my favorite comedians growing up such as Jim Carry, Rodney Dangerfield, and Chevy Chase.
