Introduction
I have one 1 star review. Please ignore that. It was from a prospective client who asked me for a discount right off the bat. I told her that I generally don't give discounts. She repeatedly asked me for a discount. I told her to keep asking was very disrespectful. Because I didn't give her a discount, she got mad and left a poor review. I was extremely respectful during our conversation. Thank you for understanding. My work stands out because I am very good at what I do. I make great connections and lasting memories. From time to time, I get people coming up to me telling me about something I showed them years ago when performing magic. Those are great moments. To be remembered like that is such an honor. Doing street magic is a great way to hone your skills and be a testing ground for new tricks, as well as an immense amount of practice time. I am also a balloon twister. Creating something out of nothing is imaginative and fun. I love watching things take shape as I'm twisting the balloons. Another thing I do is officiate wedding ceremonies. When working with a couple, I take the time to ensure that the ceremony is exactly how they want it to go. Do you want to go with doing your own vows, traditional or non-traditional? I can help you figure it out if needed. I try to be very easy to work with. After all, who wants to work with a headache, right? My work ethic is very strong. If I were to hire someone to entertain at one of my events, I would expect certain things out of them. To be good at what they do, to be entertaining, and to be worth what I paid, just to name a few. I do my best to give you everything that I would expect and more. That is why my work stands out. There is a reason almost all of my reviews are 5 stars. What I love about my job is everything. You get to learn things that are not known to the general public when it comes to the art of magic. The reactions I get from people while performing are priceless. I love bringing back that sense of wonder to the audience. I do street magic in Northampton, MA. I love doing street magic for a few reasons. A couple of them are when someone comes up to me and mentions a trick I showed them years back, in full detail. Another great one is when someone told me, "My kids saw you last night. They made me buy some spongeballs, and they spent the night and today pretending they were you. " Doesn't get much better than that. Doing "tricks" is only part of being a magician. The greater part and the real magic are in connecting with people and making memories. Along the line of creating connections and making memories is officiating weddings. I am honored that people choose me to help make their special day even more special. I take that job very seriously.

Jeff interacted so kindly with our seniors at our Senior Center Halloween party and created some adorable balloon animals for us! I particularly liked the turtle corsages. And watching two of our seniors fight with the balloon swords he made them gave me a real chuckle. His balloons gave a real sense of fun and whimsy to the event. Our seniors loved it. I would definitely book again!

Details: Halloween • 41 - 70 guests • 18 or older • Simple balloon twisting (e.g., one-balloon dog) • Detailed balloon art (uses several balloons) • Face painting is not needed

We hired Jeff for my daughter's confirmation party, and he was a huge hit! With around 80 kids and adults in attendance, Jeff's magic show was engaging, entertaining, and mesmerizing. He had the entire audience laughing and amazed with his tricks and illusions. Jeff's professionalism and kindness shone through as he adapted to our schedule, even stopping the show to let us take a break to serve food. After the break, he resumed the performance and finished with a flourish. Overall, Jeff's talent, adaptability, and kindness made our event truly special. And as a lovely finale, he made lovely balloons for the kids after the show, which they absolutely loved! I highly recommend him for any occasion, especially if you have a large group like ours. He's a true master of his craft, and we can't wait to have him back for our next event!

Details: Holiday party • Stage show • 71 - 100 guests • 4 - 6 years old • 7 - 10 years old • 11 - 14 years old • 18 or older • 15 - 17 years old • Bar/Club

Jeff, was exceptional!! He was very quick with responding to my request not only that but was able to book last minute with only 3 days notice!!! He arrived nice and early for my daughter’s 9 th birthday party… and had all of the children’s focus Along with excitement and smiles throughout his entire show. He is very Entertaining and with adult humor as well captivated our audience!! I was very pleased above and beyond more than expectations and to top it off reasonably affordable. I’d also like to add she stayed entertaining the children for a lot longer than the original timeframe which was super thoughtful and appreciative for the extended time he gave that was not expected entertaining my daughters guesses.. The balloon twisting show is great the kids were thrilled to get a prize at the end of the show as well as the adults also got to pick their favorite “twisty bolloon animal” lol I got a “purple teddy bear” .. I would absolutely hire him again and recommend them to my friends family and anyone that needs a Talented magician with comedy and character…Jeff certainly fits every criteria!! I was more than pleased with the service thank you so much Jeff for everything!! Tiffany Fonzi
