Matt was perfect for our party. He worked the room beautifully and ended the event with a mind-blowing and comical routine.
We would book him again in a heartbeat

Matt - It was truly a pleasure having you at our staff party. Your magic, comedy and sincere warmth entertained everyone and made our annual party the one that everyone will continue to talk about. Hard to think we can beat that in the upcoming years so be prepared to do it again. Thank you and I do expect several of our staff will be contacting you for their own private engagements.

We had Matt for entertainment at our wedding this past weekend. He was absolutely fantastic! We had 7 of our grandchildren there and he involved the older ones to be his helper. They were amazed by all of his tricks!

Matt was an awesome addition to our party. It was pouring rain and he pivoted to an indoor event with a bunch of kids with a lot of energy running around and he didn't miss a beat. Would highly recommend!

I had a 80th birthday party for my mother and I hired Matt Roberts. He was so wonderful and patient because our Lunch at Davio's went a little over time. He engaged with the audience, he was funny and so much fun to be around. I had a mixed crowd of 31 people and they all said if they had an event they wanted him. I am so glad that I found him on line and I highly recommend him!!! You will be happy that you did and will probably try to plan another event just to have him there!!! Thank you Matt for making Maria's 80th Surprise Party an event that my friends can't stop talking about :)

Matt came to perform at our middle school for a very large group of 5th graders. He jumped right in and got them engaged in all of his tricks. He connected with the student audience with relatable, age-appropriate humor and called on lots of kids from around the room to participate. This was a wiggly, chatty bunch after a long day at school but he persevered through his show without letting it disrupt his performance. Would definitely recommend.
Comedy Magician
Matt was amazing !!

Matt arrived for the birthday party on time, and was all set up and ready to do go prior to the scheduled start time. He captivated the audience kids and adults for almost a full hour.
Children’s Party Magician
Matt was amazing! Arrived on time, set up very quick, and even tailored his show to include segments of Harry Potter themed magic to match the theme. Kept a group of 10-11 year olds on the end he of their seats, engaged, and amazed for over an hour! (That’s magic in it self) would highly recommend Matt to our closest friends and family.

I am thrilled to have had Matt be the entertainment portion of our adult birthday party! Every guest was blown away!
Highly recommend. A real class act :)
Comedy Magician
Matt was booked for our Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet of approximately 100 people. The boys are between ages 5 and 10 and they are not the easiest people to entertain. Matt had them captivated from beginning to end! The show was amazing and he engaged the audience perfectly. The jokes are great too. Afterwards the boys kept commenting on how their minds were blown by the tricks, as they tried to make sense of what they saw! If you are looking for a great magician for your event, Matt is your guy.

Hired Matt for an (adult) birthday party at my home with 15 women. He was funny, talented and warm and everyone enjoyed him and a few of the guests plan to hire him in the future. My mom was the guest of honor and she was thrilled. :)

Matt Roberts was AMAZING!! He came out to help us celebrate our daughters tenth birthday and his show was such a hit!! Kids as young as one and adults into their 80s enjoyed the show. He was absolutely wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend hiring Matt for upcoming event!!
Children’s Party Magician
Matt was amazing. He did a great job engaging the young kids (4 to 9 years old) as well as the parents. He has adapted his program so nicely to be pandemic-friendly. Super easy to work with! He just showed up with everything ready to go. He was considerate of our distancing preferences and read the crowd well. Highly recommend!
Magician
Matt performed outdoors at our home to about 40 adults and kids (and one dog) and kept a great momentum despite some microphone issues- or was that part of the act? He was funny, engaging and the kids were delighted that he remembered their names! An entertaining, fluid show that appealed to all ages.
Matt Roberts was great - his magic tricks were great and he kept us laughing all the way through. He was very professional, had the audience in the palm of his hand, and was very funny. I would highly recommend him.

Matt was awesome! We hired him as a roaming magician for Isabel's Bat Mitzvah in Boston. He delighted guests ranging from 13-70 years of age! He has a way of entertaining guests without interupting conversations and he worked his way through every group! The hosts were very happy with Matt and so was I as the event planner.
Thank you Matt!

Matt Roberts was magnificent. Everyone here is still talking about how wonderful he was at our corporate dinner event. Matt was very personable, super funny, engaging and just overall fun. He had our CEO laughing the whole time! We found out that he will be performing in RI in May and several of us are already planning to see him (fan club). I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a magician/illusionist who is very funny with an awesome personality.

Matt - thanks for making the kids so happy. They were talking about the show long after you were gone.

Our company hired Matt for our annual holiday party. Matt started with some close-up magic and really caught everyone's attention and curiosity. After traveling around to groups during cocktail hour, Matt did a stage performance after our dinner. His performance was about an hour long and I don't think anyone stopped laughing the entire performance. He is professional, hilarious, and thinks on his feet. He regularly involves the audience either for brief questions or calls volunteers up on stage to "assist" with his magic. We highly recommend Matt for any type of gathering, event, or party-for any type of audience.
Comedy Magician
Matt was professional, pleasant, fun and on time. My son was so excited to have a "TV star" in his home. Matt engaged the children for a solid hour and never missed a beat. It was a pleasure working with Matt and I would definitely hire him again.
Children’s Party Magician
My company hired Matt for our annual holiday party, and boy, was he a hit! He entertained the crowd during cocktail hour, and then gave a live performance after dinner. It was fantastic. His magic is top-notch and he really knows how to work the crowd - our faces hurt from laughing. Hiring Matt for virtually any event is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. I highly recommend his show.

Matt dazzled both the kids as well as their parents! Well done!
Children’s Party Magician
We had Matt do his strolling magician act at out daughter's Sweet 16 party. He was a huge success! The teens, adults and your kids all loved him! Even one guest who generally didn't like magicians told me he was awesome! I highly recommend Matt!
Comedy Magician
Best show ever, I recommended him.
Matt presented a 45-minute show to our company last Saturday evening, and EVERYONE is still talking about it! Absolutely mind-blowing magic, hilarious comedy, and a highly engaging and interactive show for our employees' award night. We still cannot believe his last trick! Astounding! We would definitely have him back and would not hesitate to recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks, Matt!
Corporate Magician
We hired Matt Roberts as entertainment for our company Christmas party, and we are glad we did. Everyone - from young kids to the eldest attendee - had a great time. Matt was outgoing, interactive, and funny. We would definitely recommend Matt!
Comedy Magician
Matt gave our guests (from 70 yrs to 2 yrs) such an enjoyable time. He included the children as well as the birthday celebrants into his act. Everyone had a smile on their faces and commented after the event on how much they enjoyed Matt. He was on time, professional in every aspect. Would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone looking for entertainment.

Testimonials
"Matt Roberts is an incredibly engaging Magician and Comedian, his illusions are top notch and are amazing to audiences of all ages. His comedy is equally impressive and I would not recommend having a mouthful of water while he is telling a joke because you could end up spraying it all over the audience in front of you, as I did when I was watching his show. Matt is a talented professional entertainer and is a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend his show for any occasion."
– Brian Hornby, Program Officer, Office Of Cultural Affairs, City of New Haven, CT
"Matt Roberts is not only truly gifted at his craft; he is also a wonderful person. Matt performed at our corporate dinner and he was a huge hit with all our guests. He was like a perfect drink or dessert at the end of a big dinner...just enough, not too heavy, easy to digest. And he was FUNNY! Matt worked with me from day one to personalize the show and he arrived at the venue early and was extremely professional, personable and patient. He put a smile on even the most stern face and he was the perfect partner in my facilitation of the night's events. I will most definitely use him in the future and recommend him to everyone I know! Thanks Matt!"
– Jennifer Ceolinski, Associated Equipment Distributers Conference
I am still getting calls from our guests about your performance. It was the single element that made Robin's day extraordinary for everyone who came to celebrate her birthday. And the straight jacket? Phenomenonal! Thanks again for making the event so much fun for all.
– Glen Ramsteck, 50th Birthday Party
Matt Roberts has a commitment to professionalism and I would recommend him highly for any performing needs you may have.
– Kevin E. McHugh, Cards Plus Inc.
In a day and age of huge stage shows and mega stars performing feats of illusion before millions of television viewers, Matt Roberts is a one-man show. He is a modest man with no flashy costume, no scantily clad assistants, no tigers and no piercings...However, it is Roberts' simplicity and his infusion of comedy that set him apart from other magicians. In short ... he doesn't take himself too seriously and audiences say they love it.
On Saturday, Roberts dazzled a sold-out crowd at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse using simple items like a deck of cards, a rope and a newspaper...he is widely considered one of the more popular and busy magicians in New England [who] gets his kicks from just getting up on stage and looking at the faces of those who come out to see him perform his craft. "For me it's just the reaction from the audience ... my show is very me," he explained. Judging from the laughter and gasps he got at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse, he got just what he was looking for.
