“Was a pleasure to work with!”

·

Did a fun “Happy Noon Year” magic show program at Cedarbrae Library on December 31st. We wrapped up the show just in time to do a 12 noon countdown with the kids followed by snacks the librarian had prepared.

This lovely review was posted to my Google business listing shortly after the new year:


“I hired him for a family program (over 100 people in attendance). While the kids and parents were giggling and enjoying themselves, my colleagues and I were rolling on the floor laughing at his jokes. He combines magic and comedy perfectly. I would hire him again! Beforehand, he was very considerate and asked if it would be appropriate to do a Christmas joke, did we want him to touch on this holiday or not, etc. Was a pleasure to work with!”

OWoW Festival summary

During the last weekend of October I had the pleasure of participating in the Ontario Week of Wonder festival.
The organizer of the fest, Ryan Joyce, has written up a thorough summary to tie things off and yours truly, along with my excellent performing partner for the weekend, Peter Mennie, get a nice mention near the bottom of the scroll.
But, if you’re sharp eyed, you might see me in a photo on stage with a buncha munchkins about a quarter way down the scroll!

Vending machine filled with factory worker needs instead of food or drink.

One of my weekend Christmas parties was for an auto parts manufacturing company. At this event I did ‘strolling magic’ instead of a staged show. Strolling tricks is another customer option which often fits better for ‘open house’ style events.

Just off the factory floor I saw this nifty ‘vending’ machine filled with consumable shop supplies workers might regularly require on the job. Swipe your ID card to ‘buy’ something. I had never seen a vending machine like this before.

I’m guessing linking to the employee ID helps keep an eye on, er, I believe they call it shrinkage, too!

Company Christmas Party review…

·

“Thank you very much to the Magical Mr. Oh! for making our party such a success. The kids and parents who attended had a wonderful time. The show was filled with magic and humour, and as promised a lot of audience (kids) participation. The Magical Mr. Oh! delivered on everything he promised, he arrived early and was ready to start on time; and the show was just the right length of time to keep the kids (of all ages) entertained. Thank you again!!”

This past weekend I did a Christmas Party for a company that was booked through an entertainment listing website. My contact for the party just posted this lovely review here:

Performers love happy customers!
This wonderful unsolicited email from a birthday mom arrived a few hours after I wrapped up a show in their home this past Sunday.
Love getting these.

“Thank you so much for the memorable performance. You were wonderful! Everyone spoke highly of your performance when you left. My sincere apologies for not saying good bye!  It was hectic and I wanted to keep the kids out of your way while you packed up. Thank you again and if you ever need a reference, please feel free to use me. I will be sure to spread the word to other parents looking for fun birthday party ideas.”
