Overview
Manitoba Festival & Fair Entertainment
Winnipeg Christmas Party Entertainment
Corporate & Family Entertainment
So you are looking for entertainment for your event. But you don’t want to just fill a spot. And not just any entertainer will do.
You want entertainment that is guaranteed non-offensive.
You want guaranteed laughs.
You want entertainment that is a one-stop shop and provides everything to make your event a success.
You want to create memories. (When a young lady makes a table float in the air – she AND YOU will remember it forever)
You want to have a ‘team/family’ experience (Cutting the boss’s head off works well for that. That ALWAYS gets a good reaction – very funny)

We hired Greg to liven up the cocktail hour of a small staff party. Greg took the time to listen and understand the format, venue and purpose of the event and made great suggestions on the type of performance that would work best based on his experience. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish and above all everyone loved his performance!
Corporate Entertainment
Response from Greg Wood - The EnterTrainer:
Thank You so much for these kind words, Leney. Your group was a pleasure to work with as well as a lot of fun. You and Jim were also easy and fun to work with. If I could rate you as a client you would receive my top rating of three thumbs up. Most people can only give two thumbs up but as a magician...
Greg opened our annual Spring Convention, dazzling us with his message, driven home by his use of magic as a metaphor, teaching us what we had to do to personally to make the conference a successful learning experience for ourselves. He is the consummate professional, taking the time to learn about our organization, the issues we have as an organization, individual challenges we all face as members and then crafting a message of hope and encouragement. Everyone in the audience commented on the brilliance of his presentation. We will have him speak at our future events.
Business Motivational Speaker
Greg Wood gave an amazing performance at our Spring Convention. The theme was “Discover The Magic” and he certainly had our members under his spell during the weekend. Greg smoothly and skillfully entwined stories with magic illusions. The magic illusions enhanced the messages and the morals of the stories told. The audience was mesmerized and laughing as well. Greg gave a spectacular performance.
Magician, Motivational Speaker
Response from Greg Wood - The EnterTrainer:
Thanks so much Laverne. It was great to present to your convention. It is a rare treat for me to be able to present both the opening and closing keynote. Your whole convention ROCKED.
Greg was very engaging with the crowd as he walked thru our event. He stopped several times to perform up close magic as well as doing more intrakit tricks.
Because our event had a surprise element it was much appreciated that he was on time and on que. Very polished and worked our crowd well.
Everyone loves magic and Greg was a fun part of our event!!!
Comedy Magician
Response from Greg Wood - The EnterTrainer:
Thanks so much Howard. So happy to have been able to be a part of your party and make it memorable. The crowd was great, laughing and wowing at all the right places. I especially enjoyed hearing both of those being surprised say “No way!” so many times.
