I've booked Jo several times for both in-person and virtual shows over the years. He's a campus favorite as the students enjoy him. He caters to your needs and any request you may have and is always willing to try new things. A multi-dimensional talent and a joy both personally and professionally.

Joseph is wonderful to work with. The Booking process is easy, the virtual set up he uses is great quality and Joseph is so personable. We used him for a virtual trivia night for the students on our campus and they truly enjoy him. A high recommendation from us.

My school hired Joesph Tran to perform a virtual game show and it was great. He is a great host that actually knows what he is doing, especially with technology. He also gave gift cards to people, like me who came in last for one of the events. Overall I highly recommend Joesph Tran for future events you may be planning.

I had an amazing experience working with Joseph Tran! He was so easy to work with and he even offered a zoom meeting and demonstration to test and see if we wanted to book his show. I booked his Win Stuff From Home Game Show for an event at The College of New Jersey. He provided personalized digital promo for the event and tailored the event to our campus. He kept the audience engaged and having fun throughout the show. I would definitely recommend his show!

Joseph was a dream to work with! As the person doing the booking and logistics for Joseph's "Win S#!+ from Home" gameshow for a college Campus Activities office, Joseph made the process SO EASY; this was honestly the easiest event that Ive ever booked. He made the process so pain-free from the research he did, to getting an alum to do a video question, the engagement with the crowd, going way over scheduled time, handling the prizes, creating video teasers and digital promohe's amazing. Booking Joseph for college events should be a no-brainer - what are you waiting for!?!?

I recently planned a bachelorette party for my friend and wanted to surprise her with something unusual, different from the spa retreats or crazy parties that everyone does. A colleague of mine recommended hiring a magician, namely Joseph Tran. It was a spot on choice; Joseph not only showed us tricks that none of us seen before but also was a super hilarious and chill guy. We had a blast and it was a nice change of pace for a bachelorette. Can't recommend him enough!

I was complaining to a friend at work of being tired of always meeting my girlfriends for Friday drinks at a yet another hyped up trendy bar. It seemed to me that drinks and a movie where the only girls night out options available. My friend had a connection and suggested we go to the Magic Castle. Joseph Tran was the headliner that night. The show was amazing !!! Joseph was a great magician and entertainer in one. His tricks where not the trivial ones you watched as a kid in the 70s on TV. We did get the drinks after the show but we did not talk about work or husbands and kids; we just
