February 9, 2024Yasu, was hired for my kiddos demon slayer themed birthday party as entertainment and he was amazing! He worked so well with the kids, kept them giggling and guessing. Kiddos and adults alike were entertained! He does his routine and then goes on to do a quick diy origami piece with the kiddos, which was very cool. The birthday girl revived a special origami that was created just for her demon slayer theme which she loved! She also received an origami swan that she could make move when she pulled the tail. She loved it and is still playing with it a week later. Yasu was prompt, professional and loads of fun. I Definitely recommend for your next event! Thumbs up! Go Yasu!!

October 29, 2018We had a birthday party for our son and were concerned how to keep the young children entertained. We had not a thing to worry about with Yasu there. He was awesome!!!! He showed up early and was ready to perform early. He kept the children entertained for a very long period of time. We didn't have to do a thing. The children LOVED him. Highly recommend Yasu.

July 30, 2018Yasu is absolutely wonderful to work and great with the kids! He arrived early to check out the space and then started setting up. He was flexible with his start time as all the kids did not arrive for the original start time. The kids and adults thoroughly enjoyed his performance! Yasu took made sure the birthday boy was the highlight of the show and then had some adults come up for participation, which we all loved! After his magic act he blew up balloon animals for the kids. He took his time, played with the kids and did not rush to leave the event. I would highly recommend Yasu for anyone looking for a magic act for toddlers to adults!

October 29, 2017Yasu came to our school and performed for our students. They thoroughly enjoyed the stories and were amazed at the show. He also taught some origami through a story and the students still remember how to fold it based on the story he shared. It was great!
