I worked with Nash Fung for my team's virtual holiday event in 2021. It was truly a magical experience - from an initial inquiry to the last show (he did 4 shows for my global team), he made everything seamless. He was super responsive, willing to perform odd hours to accommodate different time zones, and he knew how to entertain his audience! It was such a pleasant experience as an event organizer and I'd highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for new virtual event ideas.

Magician Nash Fung is amazing! The company I work for booked him within 2 weeks of our virtual holiday party. He answered all our questions and gave us time to make needed arrangements. We didn't have too many ideas, and he was able to craft a show that was fun for our audience of 300+. His high energy is just what we needed. The 30 minutes he performed for us went by so quickly. My team was glad that he could work with the technology platform we were using and even made suggestions on how we could help him with the show being presented. If you're hesitant about getting Nash to perform for your

Nash entertained my department (75+ people) for our 'holiday' get-together virtually. It was a big hit - everyone enjoyed his humor and audience participation - and then there was the magic - outstanding! I highly recommend Nash for any event virtual event you're planning. Absolutely would use his talents again if the opportunity presents itself!

We had the privilege of working with Nash in November 2021. Not only did he mesmerize our guests on a virtual happy hour, he then proceeded to fully engage our guests at our in-person happy hour. Our guests found him to be fun, energizing and just the perfect icebreaker to get the crowd laughing! He is easy to work with in the planning process. Once he arrives at the event he is in the zone and working the room successfully. I highly recommend adding him to your corporate in-person or virtual event in 2022. Additionally, he has a new offering of motivational speaking that I can not wait to experience

Nash brought a dose of Christmas magic to our team holiday party and he was truly amazing. His energy alone is awe inspiring! He has a way of memorizing names immediately and makes each guest feel special and important. His magic will be talked about between us for years to come. He produced many wide eyes, open mouths, and oooohs and ahhhhhs. When the show was over, I overheard many hushed conversations around the room asking "How do you think he did that?". We really enjoyed his presence and appreciated his dedication to making our party a memorable event. I'd highly recommend Nash and can't
