What's not to say about Todd McKinney? My son and daughter were both called up to help during the show. I thought my 10 year old girl was going to pee on herself from laughing so hard. Todd had everyone in stitches and it was great. Can't wait to see him again in the near future.

Response from Best Magician 4 Kids- Todd McKinney:
Hi Tisha! Wow- what a review! So glad that your kids both got to help out. Really glad that your daughter was able to "go" afterwards. Thanks for sharing. Hope you and your family have a magical Christmas and New Year. #2016
Todd was a real pleasure to work with. We host an annual Christmas party every year. It can be a challenge to find someone that everyone will enjoy. Todd McKinney offered a very unique program that catered to the kids, the teenagers and the adults too. His illusions were all really good and his jokes were all really funny. The sound system in the auditorium stopped working at the last minute. Thankfully Todd brought his own system so that the show could go on. It was so nice having Todd and his assistant Allan this year. We can't wait to work with him again. God bless Todd McKinney

Todd was spectacular and was able to entertain a large group of kids and their parents. The show was very professional and a lot of fun. Would hire him again for sure.

Thanks Amy! I loved you all as well! Hope to see you all next year...
We were very impressed with Todd. The other magician we booked two weeks ago called and said he wouldn't be able to make it due to a family emergency. He highly recommend that we call Todd and thankfully Todd was able to save the day. His skills as a magician are amazing. He is very funny and had us all rolling with laughter. As far as the tricks go, none of the kids, teenagers, parents or grandparents were able to figure any of them out. His jokes were all clean and really made a great impression on everyone. At the end he made my 8 year old son float. As the kids said, "That was really cool!" Thank you!

Thanks Brandy! I really appreciate the kind words.
So, I booked Todd for my companies holiday party. Todd put on a marvelous show for the children ranging in age from about four to sixteen years of age. We planned for his show to be in a separate room so that the children would be entertained while the adults had separate activities going on. Much to our surprise, Todd's magic created a buzz in the room that got the attention of the adults. After the adults were finished with door prizes and such, we couldn't help but see what was going on next door. The magic show drew the attention of the adults and we just had to see what was going on. His show exceeded our expectations and we had to watch. Todd was very gentle with the children and he had all of us grown ups laughing along with the children. Very well received if I do so say myself.

I found Todd online and was very impressed with all of his reviews. I called him to ask a few questions and he was very nice and knowledgeable. The booking process was very easy. On the day of the party he had 5 shows that day and we were the last one. I was a little worried thinking he might be really tired but I was wrong. His energy is amazing and he is awesome with kids. I've never seen 20 kids laugh so hard. I couldn't take my eyes off the show because it was so good. Todd arrived right on time and was ready to start the show in just a few minutes. My husband said that the show was worth the price and I agree. Outstanding show for all ages- even adults.

On Behalf of the Boys & Girls "Reach Out" Program, we would like to say a big THANK YOU to Todd McKinney for providing the entertainment at our banquet. Each quarter we bring in a special guest (entertainer) to provide an entertaining evening with the kids, their siblings and parents. In the six years that I have been co-chairman, I have hired over 20 performer's to provide not only entertainment but also an encouraging message to the youth. Todd McKinney really made a BIG impression on everyone. The magic show was a HUGE hit in itself. Aside from the magic tricks and comedy, Todd shared a WONDERFUL message of "believing in yourself" and "trying your best!" He arrived about 30 minutes early, mingled with the audience and had everyone engaged before the show even started. I would highly recommend him to any group looking for a dynamic entertainer and speaker. He is VERY GOOD at what he does. The chidren and parents were very impressed! Sincerely, Scotty M. Peters

Todd has a wonderful magical act for families. My son saw Todd perform at his school recently and approached him after the show to see if he could perform at his birthday party this weekend. Todd was able to squeeze the party into his schedule which thrilled my son. Instead of wanting birthday presents, he said all he wanted was to have Todd perform at the party. So, if you are a parent who is looking for a magician in the Dallas area, Todd McKinney is the guy to call. He arrived on time, brought everything he needed for the show including a P.A. system, music and bright and colorful props. He has some amazing magic tricks. He actually put a Rubik's cube that was all twisted up back together in about five seconds. My son is still talking about that hours after the party. He poured water from a bottle into a cup and then turned the cup upside down and the water was all gone. He really has some amazing tricks that none of the kids or adults could figure out. Now our daughter wants to have Todd perform at her party in December. Thank you to Todd for a wonderful party. Lol!

Todd made us all laugh at the party today. I hired him to entertain the children but he ended up grabbing the attention of everyone. The children were spellbound and the adults ended up moving in behind the kids to watch the show. Not what I expected at all from a children's entertainer. He made us all laugh. A very successful magician with great talent. Lots of my friends and colleagues kept asking me where I found him. Highly recommended!

I hired Todd McKinney for our family reunion this summer. He was amazing to say the least. He combined magic with humor to create a fantastic show that everyone loved. We had about 60 kids plus teenagers and adults. Todd captured the attention of everyone and he had us all laughing out loud for almost a full hour. Very professional and well worth the price.

Each year we hire a magician for our family reunion. Two years ago we had a magician that was just "so so!" He didn't connect with the audience. Last year we tried another guy who was very affordable. This was a lesson learned as he was TERRIBLE. This year we found Todd as he was recommended from a friend. Todd explained the importance of hiring a full time performer instead of an amateur as you get what you paid for. He was correct! Todd was AWESOME in every way. The kids absolutely LOVED him. His tricks were really amazing and even us adults couldn't figure out how he did anything. We have already discussed booking him for next year. Thanks Todd!

Todd was very impressive for our group of children ranging in ages from 5 years old all the way to 12 years old. He promised over the phone that his show would entertain the children as well as the adults and grand-parents. He exceeded my expectations. As a children's church pastor, I am always reluctant as to who I bring in to the church as there are so many things out there that you have to be concerned with. Mr. McKinney delivered a fantastic presentation with fantastic message. I will be bringing Todd in again this summer for our VBS as I was very impressed with his skills. Thank you.

We recently had Todd perform for our family fun night at the Elementary school where I am on the PTO. Todd arrived early and he did such a GREAT show that really made me and the others on the PTO look good. The kids absolutely LOVED Todd and he made an INSTANT connection with all of them. The parents LOVED the show as well and had such GREAT things to say. Thanks Todd for such a wonderful evening.

I have hired Todd at least a dozen times for various events across the state. He always delivers an outstanding show for families! His shows are very entertaining and he knows how to "ad-lib" at just the right times. He always arrives on time, brings everything he needs and I never have to worry about his ability to hold the attention of the audience. I highly recommend hiring Todd! If I could give him 10 stars here I would.

As the mother of three children, I have to say that Todd McKimney was FANTASTIC. Todd made party planning SO easy for a busy mother like myself. The children's attention was held the entire show. The interactive nature of his show really captivated the children...and the adults! It was definitely a party for all ages. Everything was extremely appropriate and he was so gentle working with my son who is in a wheelchair. Great guy with a great personality!

We recently saw Todd perform at my son's school and we're very impressed with his ability to entertain children and hold their attention. I decided to hire him for the birthday party. During the booking process Todd made several recommendations on how to make the party better. His advice was dead on! Todd arrived on time and was ready to perform as soon as all of the guests arrived. The show was spectacular and so funny! Instead of hiring another magician who was lower priced, I decided to go with the best. Todd McKinney really is everything he says and more!

Todd advertises as being good with kids and he delivers on that promise. We recently hired him to entertain the families at our annual Christmas party and Todd did a fantastic job of entertaining everyone. This was the second year in a row that we had him and we asked him to change the show up since we would be having a lot of the same guests as last year. Todd pulled out quite a few new tricks from his top hat and he had us all rolling with laughter. I didn't think he could possibly beat last years show but he did. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent family oriented entertainer who provides clean humor and knows how to make the young and the young at heart laugh. Be prepared to be amazed if you hire Todd, he is an amazing magician and very funny comedian.

Todd put on an EXCELLENT show for my daughters school! All of the kids and the parents loved the show. People are still talking about the show a week later! Todd really made me look good!

Hired Todd for my twins birthday party. As a parent, I was a bit picky about who I hired. After talking with Todd on the phone, I knew that he was the right magician for the party. He held the attention of thirty children ages 5-10 for almost a full hour without any problems. He was a little more expensive than some of the other magicians I talked to but he was worth every penny. The show was very entertaining.

Todd was fantastic! The thing that always amazes me the most is his ability to keep a large group of very excited children spell bound for 45 minutes. He showed up on time and was well prepared with an excellent and family oriented program that everyone enjoyed. This was the second time I have hired Todd and have been very pleased on both occassions. He always provides great entertainment that the kids love.

"You asked me to be honest with my feedback and I told you I would. On a scale of 1 to 10, your show is an 11 without any doubt. I simply cannot begin to tell you how much fun we had at the party! I literally had tears running down my face watching you perform for Skylar and her friends. I have not seen her have that much fun with such a glow on her face in several years. Words cannot express how much I appreciate you coming to the party!"
– Julia Joiner
"My son saw you perform at one of his friends parties and he came home begging to have you at his birthday. I really appreciate how easy you made the entire party. I have to say that your magic tricks fooled everyone- even us adults. I had several moms ask me where I found you and how they could contact you. The way you interacted with the kids was unlike anything I've ever witnessed before. Your ability to hold that many kids spell bound for that length of time is pretty amazing!"
– Barbara Jancy
