Thank you so much for your review, Karine! It was truly a pleasure performing for your donors, and helping to thank them for their generosity. I know that planning large events can be daunting, and with so many details to figure out, you should never have to worry about whether or not your guests are being entertained. I pride myself both on making sure folks are having a great time, and on doing everything I can to help the event run smoothly. Thank you for letting me be a part of it, and for the kind words. Congratulations on an amazing event. Looking forward to next time! John Bendewald

John is a fantastic magician. He's so talented and we were so amazed by him. He has such a great personality too! He spent so much time showing magic tricks to my son and his friends. I've seen John perform several times and it's always so enjoyable and memorable.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Jessica! Always a pleasure running into you and your family, and I'm glad that I'm able to continue entertaining you, even after you've seen me multiple times. I've put a lot of practice into being able to entertain people of all ages, and I love it when I have the opportunity to fool the kids AND the parents at the same time. I'm so happy I could leave you all with smiles and magical memories. Best wishes!! John Bendewald

We hired, Magic John, for my daughter’s 10th birthday party with a mixed crowd of tweenaagers and adults and we could not have be happier with him. He is not only a talented and super entertaining magician, he’s personable, funny, and great company! We got so many compliments on a job well done by him. Tweenagers and adults were impressed with his magic and their interactions with him. After talking to several magicians, I’m glad I went with my gut and trusted he’d be the best fit. He’s a great hire for events of all ages and venues. Would highly recommend.

Wow! I don’t even know where to start. From the very beginning and finding John through thumbtack for my daughters 8th birthday, we first had a pleasant phone call where he was able to answer all of my questions, got to know what we were looking for in a magician, and he answered questions that in that moment I had not even thought about. After that conversation, it was a no brainer, we had to hire him. After that conversation and days leading to the event, he kept in contact with me & provided me with some great recommendations to make sure my daughter & guests could experience a great show. On the day of the event, he was on time, kind, engaging, and a great performer. The show was for kids, but he was able to not only draw in all of their attention but he was able to attract the adults as well. We were ALL engaged and he was able to connect with the audience. I also appreciate how he took the time to give each child a souvenir at the end of the show. He truly made a huge positive impact on my daughter who also loves magic& aspires to be a magician. Since the show, she hasn’t stopped talking about the amazing tricks and woke up the next day imitating John’s tricks. So again, Thank you Magic John for truly making this an easy process & for a memorable experience!

When one of our wedding guests exclaimed that John is a witch and another asked his going rate for friendship I knew he had killed it. John's a special combination of charismatic, kind, and down to earth. His energy was infectious and he was patient and flexible through our planning process. Looking back at our photos I see nothing but smiles and intrigue around him. He was so worth it and I cannot recommend him enough.

Samantha—thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review and provide photos!! It was an absolute pleasure entertaining the guests at your wedding this year. I know firsthand how much stress goes into planning an event like this, and I appreciate you putting your trust in me to help it go as smoothly as possible. I'm so glad I could help you through the planning process, as well as bring happiness to your guests. It's important to set ourselves up for success during the planning phase, so that your guests (and yourselves!) can fully enjoy the event once its happening. I'm so glad everyone enjoyed, and it was an honor to bring magic to your special day. Thank you for the recommendation and kind words! John Bendewald PS: I'm glad to hear of the overlap between being a witch and being a friend. 😄
