Boodini had a great music selection, was awesome with the kids and I really liked that he went to each table to perform magic tricks after the kids magic show.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on June 20, 2016•From Plainfield, IL

Mr. Boodini did a great job with the kids. It was raining outside and we had to move the party to our basement. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is he showed up in older-looking black jeans and a tshirt. The show he did was fun and entertaining, and we also tipped him on top of the party fee. But we were a little disappointed with the apparel.

He did an excellent job in keeping the kids entertained and focused on him. His show was great to the extent that he left the adults wondering how he pulled the trick! Definitely would recommend him!

The Great Boodni was amazing! He was adaptable to the situation and handled the kids very well. Everyone was entertained including the adults (who raved about him). I wish we could have been outside (but it was raining) but he made it just as fun with his inside show.

Overall I thought the Great Boodini did a terrific job. Having to deal with 3 and 4 year olds is not easy but he was able to keep their attention for a solid hour. The pace of the performance was good and I am sure Boodini has a variety of performances which work for all ages.

Halloween Party•Reviewed on October 8, 2024•From Lisle, IL

The Great Boodini showed up late. He was also clearly in a rush to get through things as fast as possible. Did not call prior to discuss the details of his act. He also PROMISED he would do mind reading and mentalist type tricks and he did nothing of the sort. He also messed up several of his tricks. Overall, it was a massive disappointment.

School Assembly•Reviewed on February 4, 2016•From Glendale Heights, IL

We thoroughly enjoyed both performances of The Great Boodini! Both teachers and children were amazed at his card tricks and juggling. We are all still stumped over the dollar in the orange trick. Great fun for the entire school - Preschool though 8th grade!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on January 25, 2016•From Palos Park, IL

I hired The Great Boodini for my daughter's 11th birthday party, and could not have been happier with the experience. He arrived early, was professional, entertaining and put more into the show and his time/interaction with the kids than I expected. The magic was actually better than I expected and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the show. I highly recommend him.

Great performance given by The Great Boodini. After the party, guests commented on how good his show was and one even said it was the best party he'd ever been to.

We really enjoyed the close-up magic show during lunch. The Great Boodini moved from one table to another so each table could enjoy seeing a few magic tricks. It was entertaining and worked out very well.

Very enjoyable time. My family loved it. He even stayed 20 min after performance to educate kids about card tricks. I highly recommend the Great Boodini!

I am sorry to say this but for an event attended by all adults this was disappointing. Several guests also shared this same opinion. Fine for little kids not adults. Also, having a guest from the audience be the one to get "sawed in half" and not sharing how long the guest should lay on the table or what is expected of them all the way around was in poor judgement. The assistant should be the one to take part in this act, she is aware of what's to be expected and for how long to play out the act.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on December 2, 2015•From Chicago, IL

The Great Boodini was a huge hit at our fundraiser! He really engaged audience members of all ages. He catered to the event by performing when asked and pausing when a speech was happening. He was considerate, nice, and really fun to watch! I would definitely recommend The Great Boodini to anyone!

Halloween Party•Reviewed on December 2, 2015•From Franklin, WI

The Great Boodini did a fantastic job for our library's Halloween event. He entertained the young and old alike, and almost every child wanted to volunteer to help him. His show had magic, mysterious elements, and laughter. What more could you ask for?!

Community Event•Reviewed on October 20, 2015•From Park Forest, IL

The Great Boodini put on an Amazing Show at the Park Forest Public Library. Everyone enjoyed his unbelievable magic and juggling performance. This show will be the talk of the library for weeks to come! I would definantly hireThe Great Boodini again in the future. If anyone is looking for a high energy, high quality performance with audience participation and interaction, I would call The Great Boodini.
