The Magic Max Show was an amazing addition to our HollyDaze in the Heights event that happened in Coquitlam, BC on November 18th, 2023. HollyDaze was a free, outdoor holiday street festival welcoming approximately 10,000 visitors from across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley in BC. This was a huge family-friendly event and Magic Max was a hit with our younger visitors. He was funny, engaging, and entertaining for his audience!
From an organizer perspective, Magic Max had great communication leading up to the event, was on time, and was wonderful to work with during the event. Will definitely have him back for HollyDaze 2024 AND any other street festivals we host in the meantime.
Thanks for being a part of the holiday MAGIC at HollyDaze!

Alex was extremely professional and adaptable. He was able to capture the essence of our firm's purpose using comedy and confidence in such an interactive environment. Our guests were thrilled with the performance and would definitely recommend him in an intimate setting. Alex shined when he learned of a 5 year old attending the event, and made her feel comfortable and included. We are very impressed that he could touch on so many personal points about who we are as a professional firm and team, while staying true to his routine and natural abilities. Way to go Alex!

Response from Magic Max:
Thanks for sharing Maria, thats wonderful to hear! I am glad you and your daughters enjoyed the show :)
My daughter is very into magic, so for her 9th birthday we found Magic Max!
Can't think of a better choice.
He's super professional and a good communicator. He kept the young ones, and the rest of us, mesmerized with his tricks and performance in general. His humour reaches both the young and the old - we laughed so hard throughout, I literally had tears streaming down my eyes (this hasn't happened in years).
He was also great at making my daughter feel special while not ignoring the other guests. My daughter and her friends are so thrilled and so are we.
I would hire him again in a heartbeat!
Thank you, Magic Max!

Alex managed to totally entertain a tough crowd of 10 children between the ages of 2-13 and 6 parents for my sons 4th birthday party. The surprise magic show was exactly what we needed on a rainy day. Lots of fun for everyone! He was on time and very professional.
Thanks again Alex!

Gotta be magic's show was an enchanting experience for them. The day after the party we received terrific feedback from the parents of these children. The parents commented on how the kids described the show talked about the magician and his silly nature. Alex presented himself in a professional manner and was very accommodating. He arrived on time set up and was into the show under five minutes.
Alex I am passing along a great big thank you from all the kids and parents.
And one from my wife and me for being really great to deal with.

Thank you for your glowing review Cynthia! They were such a great group of kids and seeing the engaged smiles and reactions of the parents and your family was just outstanding.
I also enjoyed being able to answer their excited questions and show them a few more magic tricks during the Balloon Twisting after the show. This is what the Gold Standard of magical entertainment is all about! I am glad I was able to make such a magical impression!
We loved Alex. He is a true entertainer and had all of us captivated and laughing. He is personable, funny, and was a perfect addition to our block party this year. Thank you for sharing your talent and making our day so special.

What an awesome Block Party is was! Jerry the helicopter pilot was right on cue, and the weather magically held out for an outstanding show!
I was so glad to hear that you have been running your community Block Party for five years now! I have fond childhood memories of our own Block Parties in the neighbourhood and how it can really bring together a community. Being able to be a part of the magic was a real treat and I cannot wait till next year!
Our family and friends, both children and adults thoroughly enjoyed Alex's magic show- his charisma alone made the show even more fantastic! Thank you Alex for making our daughters Birthday party so fun- the girls have continued to laugh and can't wait to see you again! Love the Mainella Family.

It was a true pleasure to perform for such a wonderful group! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and kind words Sheri!
Being able to bring some magical memories to Chiara and Gabriella's backyard birthday celebration was an outstanding gift and knowing that the magic and memories stuck with them is wonderful to hear!
Alex is a very thoughtful, talented, and flexible entertainer. He is very comfortable around kids and definitely knows how to put on a show children of all ages can enjoy. I am especially pleased by his willingness to go beyond his obligations in order to make the show as best as it can possibly be. This not only included gracefully putting up with some unruly children, but also spending extra time showing his materials with the kids and answering any questions. I would recommend Gotta Be Magic to any parent/teacher/or business who wants to surprise and awe children of all ages
