I had the opportunity to work with Lefty (Elias) at a company summer party. Here is why you should hire him. He is a master of his craft. He is entertaining for parents and children alike. He is personable in a one-on-one setting and superb at working a large crowd as well. It is more than just magic, it is the full-package, highly skilled entertainer.

Elias performed at my daughters birthday and it was the highlight of the party. A week later my kids are still talking about "Lefty." Elias was funny, entertaining, and magical but most importantly we was able to communicate with everyone ranging to 77 to 3 years old. We will be working with "Lefty" again and you should consider it too.

Elias is unbelievable, I literally could not believe my eyes. He came to a small groups of adults, for our friends 40th birthday party. His show was captivating. Before the party he was very responsive and easy to schedule, and he checked in the morning of to confirm. He has a very easy going personality and interacted with everyone. I never give reviews, and I can not praise him enough.

Elias "Lefty" Caress worked for us at Utah's Hogle Zoo for BooLights! He was amazing and very entertaining! He read the crowd and did such a great job interacting with all different ages and personalities. He was funny, very charismatic and engaging. Elias was willing to keep it family friendly as well as spooky for our Halloween themed event. He did well problem solving and trouble shooting if issues arose. We will definitely hire him again for future events at the Zoo!

Elias was fantastic. I am an event planner and we hired him for one of our larger event that had about 600 people in attendance. He interacted with the crowd extremely well, great with kids and adults alike. He was extremely accommodating and entertaining. I loved his show and surprising the kids.
