Review by Sam L.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on March 28, 2011•From Dubuque, IA

Dennis performance was remarkable. He captivated the audience and amazed them with his performance. He performed for our 155 year old Company's Service Recognition Dinner. The audience is varied in age from 26 to 85 and it can be difficult to source entertainment that adequately covers such a ranging demographic. Dennis was right on the mark. We couldn't be happier with his performance and the value that we received. I would recommend Dennis to any Company looking for an outstanding performer at a fair price.

Dennis made our magic-themed event an incredible and memorable experience for everyone. The event had a record attendance and was the first one held with our new executive director. Dennis' character and talent made this event the best ever! He was such a pleasure to work with througout the planning process. I would recommend Dennis to anyone looking for a great magician and entertainer! He has left a very positive impression on all of us who attended and planned the event.

Dennis performed for my Company on Dec 21st 07 and was great! I even had my Mom and Brother attend and he performed at a level I did not think was possible as small 70 person party. HE professionalism and talent should not be taken lightly. He starts with old trick that just turned into something amazing, totally catching everyone off guard. I give him 11 out of 10 stars and plan on contacting him for next year’s event. Dennis – Thanks – all employees were well impressed and entertained.

Superb performance. True professional. Great ad-libs as well. We enjoyed the strolling magic during our cocktail hour. Would definitely recommend Dennis to anyone interested in an engaging evening of fun and illusion. Had everyone amazed and laughing the entire time. Thanks for a most memorable evening.

Dennis wowed us with his illusions and made us laugh histerically with his humor. He was a gentleman and very appropriate for our audience.

Dennis was amazing and our very diverse group of 70 guests all enjoyed his magic. Dennis is as much of an entertainer as he is a magician and his skills helped make our event a great success! I can't recommend him enough!

He was extremely entertaining and was loved by all. It's been two days since the event and people are still saying, "How did he do that?" All of that talent AND he's a genuinely nice guy. I'd definitely book him again!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 16, 2009•From Racine, WI

Great entertainer! Really involved the crowd in his act, as well as the "guest of honor". He was very professional, arrived on time; he made my husband's 50th birthday party an event to remember!

Dennis went above and beyond our expectations. His performance was funny and entertaining, excellent presentation, and extremely accommodating. He was patient with us as we were running a little behind schedule and even let us use his equipment. Overall, we are very pleased with Dennis.

Dennis was a great performer! Our elders loved his magic and he was a professional through the whole experience. I would be glad to have him return to entertain again in the future.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 11, 2008•From Wheeling, IL

Dennie performed my husband's surprised birthday party. We had 33 people at the party including 4 children aged between 3 and 11. He put a very nice show that everyone could enjoy. Dennis is also very professional, gave me a follow-up call when I hired him, showed up earlier enough to set up, vand ery flexible and customer focus. We highly recommend him.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 15, 2007•From Highland Park, IL

Dennis performed magic at my daughter's Sweet 16. His show highlighted both his talent as a magician as well as his wit, humor, and charisma. Simple things made him an ideal performer: he contacted me regularly to confirm and go over timing, directions, and style of magic. He arrived on time... despite a raging snow storm! His ability to perform tricks is vast: his tricks range from slight of hand to disappearances to bending the laws of physics. The girls loved the tricks, and so did the adults. He also performed roaming magic (table to table) and I recommend that, too. Great magician!

Dennis was great! Very professional and very talented. I would hire him again in a minute. Everyone had a great time! I was also very pleased that his charge was reasonable and I could afford the kind of talent he offered for my function. Thank you Dennis!

Picnic•Reviewed on October 6, 2007•From Milwaukee, WI

I work for an adoption agency and we hired Dennis to perform for our families at our annual picnic, for about an hour and a half. Dennis came prepared and the kids were so excited to see him, he barely had a chance to lay down his props! My only regret is that we did not hire him for the entire picnic. He was punctual, funny, talented, and just a nice guy in general. We hope that he can fit us into his schedule next year, we'd love to have him perofrm again!

Dennis Watkins was AWESOME! He made our Blue & Gold a huge sucess. He had every kid at the edge of their seat with awhhh and "how did he do that". His act where he is inside of a balloon is speechless. Thanks Dennis!
