I hired Sam to perform at my apartment for my husband's birthday with a small intimate gathering of less than 15 of us. Sam walked in and immediately had a great presence, was funny and personable and then totally blew our minds with his tricks! He hung around for about an hour and a half and it flew by. Two weeks later and we'll still all trying to figure out how he did some of the tricks that he pulled off. What an awesome mentalist and what a super fun night thanks to Sam!

We have had Sam perform for us for two years now at our corporate holiday party. He is a great magician and works the room very well. We still have people talking about his tricks. He was even able to update his repertoire for our event this year. We strongly recommend hiring him.

It's rare that I write a review these days, but simply had to for Sam. We recently held a product launch party and had Sam come by to entertain the crowd that at any one time was maybe 50-60 people, but people came and went and we probably had 100 total throughout the night. Sam blended into the crowd and wow'd everyone. I only heard amazing things from all of my guests. One of the things that really impressed me about Sam is that he did a group trick before introducing me to the give my remarks. The trick went over flawlessly, but it was in working with him before the event that was

I had the absolute pleasure of having Sam perform for my brother's 40th Birthday party. Considering that this was a big milestone, I was trying to think of how I can make this a memorable day for my brother and our guests. A quick google search and Sam came up.
