I selected Joshua without having met him so I was a little nervous. He mingled with the guests of a client event I was hosting for our top customers. It added a fun element to the party and kept things light and fun. The attendees loved his personality and his skill. I would HIGHLY recommend him for a large or small event! He was very polished in professional in his attire and interactions.

Josh has the perfect combination of a real gift for Magic and an ability to interact with his audience and keep them engaged. Positive energy and just a really nice guy who wants nothing more than to make the experience memorable so lucky to have found him.

We had the incredible opportunity to have Josh Farley perform at my wife's 50th birthday party, and he delivered an hour of pure enchantment. Josh is not just a magician; he's a storyteller who weaves magic into his narratives, creating a captivating and unforgettable experience.
From start to finish, Josh had our entire party mesmerized. His tricks were mind-blowing, and his storytelling added a unique and engaging dimension to the performance. Our guests were left speechless, talking about his act long after it ended.
Josh's performance was worth every penny. His professionalism, talent, and ability to connect with the audience made my wife's birthday truly special. If you're looking for a magician who will leave your guests in awe, Josh Farley is the perfect choice.
Highly recommend!

We hosted a large men's golf tournament and had a few vendors there for entertainment. Josh was a wonderful addition to this dinner party, as he mingled with the crowd & did card tricks for them. It was a great addition to the night and would highly recommend/book again!
Strolling/Close-up Magician
We booked Josh for our wedding event and he was a highlight of our event. Everyone enjoyed his close-up magic and it was a hit.

Nothing but good things to say about our experience with Josh. I was hosting a party for ~100 guest for our office holiday party. Josh had good communication prior to event. He showed up on time, we discussed him doing mingling magic during cocktail hour and table to table magic during dinner. He was a hit with all the guest for the mingling magic. Great personality and ability to interact with all types of people. At dinner, he picked up that most guests were busy eating and talking with the table so table magic where they were having to focus on cards and the tricks might not be the best. He suggested a quick stage performance which was not planned by either of us. He ran to his car, got a few props. We had no microphone stand so he improvised with no mic but was able to project his voice to the crowd. When he got up the crowd immediately focused on him and he got a bunch of clapping for each trick. I was told after it was out best holiday party ever and Josh played a huge role in that. 10/10!

Josh Farley was incredible at our event. He has an ability to be professional and engaging. We had a group of 24 and he was group and individual interactive. Our event included a sit-down dinner and Josh was as smooth as butter with his ability for timing. We had never had a magician at an event ... we will do this again!

Josh was so easy to work with and so friendly. He was very easy to get ahold of to answer any questions we had regarding our event. He was very flexible in terms of our scripting for our show and when/where we needed him. I would highly recommend him for any event!

Josh was one of the most sweet and genuine people I've met! He is so talented! I am still trying to figure out how he did this specific trick! My guest loved him! Will definitely book him in the future!

We had Josh entertain at our annual Volunteer Party. He kept the crowd amazed and entertained from start to finish with his illusions and story telling. It was so much more than a typical magic show!! Definitely worth booking for your event.

Josh did our show on short notice and we couldn't have been more happy,. His show was fantastic, our guests were entertained and he even stayed after to answer questions and hang out. Highly recommend.

Great performer. Very professional and entertaining!

Josh performed walk around magic for our group of 70 employees and it was so entertaining. Our office absolutely loved it. He was full of surprises that kept people entertained and "wowed" during our party. He was also very interactive and made an attempt to perform for everyone throughout the night. I highly recommend him for your event. The employees loved him!

The day after our event I received emails saying “Josh Farley was ridiculously great.” “What a great magician.” “The magic act made for our favorite party this year.” And, “we went home and looked up every video we could find to enjoy more Josh Farley.’
His cool look, demeanor, ability to connect with the audience, and storytelling to personalize the show is what sets Josh apart and above the others. What made this booking even better was working with his manager who made sure every detail was discussed and that my expectations would be exceeded. Book Josh Farley.
Josh performed perfectly for our event. We had a small wedding and were looking for entertainment for the evening following the ceremony. Josh was funny, creative and a fantastic magician.

Everyone loved Josh. Stage space that opened up allowed for more of Josh's talents and he was ready and willing to utilize the time/space for the good of the event -- in addition to what he was initially brought in to do. We were grateful for his flexibility and eagerness to engage the crowd and make the event a success. Thank you, Josh!!
Corporate Magician
We were thrilled with Josh's performance! Everyone enjoyed him. Would love to have him back.

Josh was wonderful for our company party. He was there early to learn his crowd and one on one tricks. We have a wide range of ages and personalities. No one was disappointed!

Our office team really enjoyed his performance!! Thank you for making our Christmas party fun and exciting!
Illusionist, Magician
Josh was wonderful from start to finish. Easy and professional to work with and responsive to inquiries. The show was quirky, funny, and in parts inspirational. Our conference attendees had nothing but good things to say about his magic and performance. He did a great job and added a lot to our event. Highly recommended!
Josh was great throughout the entire experience. He showed up early to get the "lay of the land" and then spent an hour walking around performing magic/slight of hand tricks for the students. After this, he performed his show - which the students really enjoyed. I would definitely recommend Josh!
Hypnotist, Illusionist, Magician
We hosted an awards banquet for college student-athletes and Josh was our closing entertainer. We gave Josh two specific but unusual parameters, giving him much less time than he is used to and limiting him on what he could do on stage because of that time-frame (no big illusions).
While most older adults were used to the traditional tricks, this event was geared towards college-aged students – and they seemed to love it. He kept them laughing, engaged, and when his time was up, the students were disappointed – they wanted to see more.
Comedy Magician
Josh did a great job! The crowd was very engaged and his energy kept everyone's attention. Josh's ability to intertwine one of his magic tricks with a message of love and peace was AWESOME and well received by our audience. Josh was very professional and kept his show within our timeline. Josh was also able to interact with the crowd after his show and was amazing with our staff and guests. I would highly recommend Josh. He did an excellent job.
I booked Josh for walk around magic at our exhibit hall opening for our annual conference. Being new to GigSalad, I additionally researched him online. His online media materials seemed professionally made, but I was reluctant at first because those seemed dated. If you're in the same place I was prior to booking Josh and possibly feeling reluctant...THERE'S NO NEED TO FEEL THAT WAY!! Book him today!! I had a bird's eye view of our exhibit floor. I looked for him several times during the opening and had no problem finding him at any given time; he was where the circle of attendees were. Being the event organizer, I didn't have an opportunity to spectate first-hand during the event. At the close of the event, he accommodated with a handful of tricks for myself and some wandering vendors. Words that I would use to describe Josh: professional, courteous...AWESOME!! He knows his craft and was a joy to work with. I would book him again with no questions and highly recommend him to anyone needing a close-up walk-around magician.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
I would absolutely recommend Josh for your event. He is fantastic!
His banter and interaction with the crowd is fun. His illusions will leave you in awe. His performance will bring out the child in you again, and by the end of the night, you may just find yourself believing in magic once again.

We booked Josh Farley and his Conspiracy Show for our church family night and everyone loved it.
Josh was awesome to work with! He was quick to return communication and worked hard to provide what we were looking for. He even reformatted his media to fit the dimensions of our projection.
The show was very engaging and entertaining! The finale will leave you scratching your head for a while afterwards trying to figure out how he did that!
Josh does a great job connecting with the audience and enlisting their participation. Young and old we’re entertained. Definitely worth it!
We hired Josh to walk around and do close-up magic for/with the guests at our wedding reception. He was super nice and responsive if I had a question before the wedding date, which took a lot of stress off of my end. Our wedding guests loved his tricks and I really think it was something that will not be forgotten! Josh even found me and the groom at one point and asked us if he could show us the tricks that we had missed. We really liked that part a lot because we got to relax and enjoy our time right at the end of our reception.

Josh provided entertaining illusions and did a great job interacting with the crowd - even on a very hot day.

When choosing entertainment for our Annual Dinner we look for someone who will engage the audience. Encouraging participation keeps the pace of the show going and keeps the attention of the audience. This can be difficult after the audience has had a filling meal! Josh nailed it! If you have seen his show you know that I mean that literally. Josh is a wonderful entertainer that was well received by our community.

Josh helped make our work Christmas Party extra special. He started with up-close magic and did a great job mingling with all of the attendees. His stage show was entertaining and engaging. I received tons of positive feedback from the staff who loved his show. I would highly recommend Josh.

Josh provided the entertainment for our annual Christmas Party. He walked through the crowd during happy hour and entertained everyone with all kinds of tricks. He was both entertaining and amusing. Several people commented on the "penetration" trick he performed when he took the stage to perform for the entire crowd. They were terrified - mesmerized - amused - and entertained! THANKS, JOSH! You were AMAZING!
Magician
Josh was fantastic. Very entertaining and very good. He mingled well with my guests and they were fascinated with his magic and mind reading. I would highly recommand him to anyone. Will definitely hire him again.

Very fun and easy to work with!

We hired Josh to mingle with guests at an outdoor event we were hosting for about 300 people. He did a fantastic job of interacting with all our guests and everyone was amazed by his tricks. He was an absolute professional throughout the entire process, from meeting with us before to learn more about the event to handling the extreme humidity we experienced at our outdoor event. Would highly recommend!
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Love this guy's heart & his passion for his craft. We booked him for our annual harvest festival & I'm glad we did. He and his crew showed up on time & was courteous & professional. He was also willing to flex so as to fit what it was we were looking for; personable guy/good magician, a winning combo :)
