Eric took on the show with only 1 day notice (thx!). He was punctual and had everything he needed to put on a splendid show for the kids. Even with a couple young hecklers, he kept the show going smoothly. He taught the kids a couple tricks, as well. Great entertainment and worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Our guests enjoyed the tableside magic show. Eric entertained the senior living residents privately by their tableside, as they dined. Everyone enjoyed the magic and how personable Eric was.
Such a great show! We had all ages at our event and everyone enjoyed it! Hire him - you won’t regret it! He also gave the kids attention after the show and he showed them a few things! Very appreciative!! Thank you!
Eric was very entertaining as he held the interest of all our holiday party guests. In past years, our group has been bored during the early part of our dinner party ... not so this year ... thank you Eric!!

We hired Eric to perform his magic and illusion show at an employee function. I was really impressed with his talent and skill as a magician, he is very polished and effortless at his craft, plus his interactions with the crowd were personable and friendly. He had us all laughing and cheering each time he had someone come up and help out with a trick, it was a blast! Definitely recommend Eric Giliam as an excellent entertainment option to make an event memorable!

Well as many said, we were lucky to find and book Eric for my son’s birthday party, but this would be the only nice thing I can say. The entire guest list was super excited for the magician performance, including my 6 y.o. When I realised that by 1:30 pm, the time of performance should start, Eric is nowhere to be found, I called his agent Rick to find out where is our magician. The response I received that Eric is not coming due to some injury the day before. Well, I understand things happen, but the part that left me super frustrated is why no one informed me about the plan change? Not communicating, and leaving entire guest list waiting for the magic show to start is simply unacceptable. This left me without a choice to come up with a plan B, this left myself and my little boy, including all the guests feel disappointed and confused. I get it, it’s not a big stage and you can’t use it for your publicity and future promotions, but for the 6 y.o it’s absolutely the best and exciting day of the year. Any customer should be treated as most important and valuable, it wasn’t the case here. What a horrible way to do business, very unprofessional and they should be ashamed for ruining my son’s birthday. Again, things happen, but just to blow us off is simply poor business. And obviously I would NOT recommend Eric, I would not want anyone, especially child to have this birthday experience. Waiting for my full refund with salty taste in my mouth.

Eric performed at my daughter's birthday party, for a group of 10-11 year olds. The show was great and the girls loved it. The material was spot-on for that age group, he had good pacing and really blew their minds with some of the tricks.

Eric performed at my son’s 8th Bday and both the kids and adults were amazed by his performance. He has a great routine with a variety of tricks. He got the kids involved as well and everyone had a great time. Highly recommended and my son is already asking if he can come back next year!!!
Children’s Party Magician
Eric amazed and delighted our friends with his magic tricks. He strolled through the party of 50 and entertained everyone with his parlor magic. Eric is very professional and responsive. He confirmed date, time and address several days before our party. I highly recommend Eric for your party or event.

April, thank you very much! I had a great time entertaining the guests at your party. It was a great group of people.
Take care!
Eric showed up early, set up lighting and music and provided over an hour of excellent entertainment for our school. His illusions, magic and audience participation were fantastic. We will enthusiastically hire him again!

Eric was fantastic! He was able to capture and hold the attention of everyone from 6-60! His act is phenomenal and we can’t wait to have him come back!
He arrived when he said he would. He was kind, funny and amazing. He waited for the guests who sadly did not arrive in time. All the children were amazed by his magic and illusions, and the adults were wowed! I definitely recommend him for your party. I'd give him 10 stars if I could.

Magician Eric was perfect for my son's 8th birthday party. He came early to set up and we already had a photo op backdrop on the wall that worked perfect as a background for the show. The kids were so excited and full of energy and he played off their silliness so well. The tricks were interesting and some were head scratchers even for the adults! He brought his own music too that he switched up for the tricks that added to the experience and fun. He had everyone laughing and cheering and fully attentive through the whole hour show. It was so sweet, he even brought a magic set for the birthday boy which he has been practicing with. Everyone was trying their hand at card tricks after Eric left trying to figure out how it is done. I highly recommend him for any party or event, for children or adults - he has the skills and illusions to entertain people of all ages!
Eric was absolutely amazing , entertained everyone from 12 to 85 years of age . Our party was a 10 out of 10 . This magician will make your party !

We hired Eric as a strolling magician for a corporate BBQ/carnival. Our guests loved the table-side tricks he shared! He was a great addition to our party.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
I asked Eric to host the magic show at my Son's 2nd birthday party in Gilbert. I had about 55 kids of all ages and 120 adults in my backyard. Eric came and took sometime to set up but once he started his show everybody was glued, kids n adults and his tricks were awesome.
He called my 5 year old daughter at the end and did the table floating trick which was cool and her friends think she is the strongest as she could lift the table:):). He dressed professionally and was professional. He got many referrals from my party. thanks Eric my party was awesome and you are one of the reasons. I would 100% recommend Eric if you want to throw a wonderful party and make your kids stars of the party.

Eric went table to table entertaining our residents with close-up magic. He did a wonderful job and the residents were still raving about it the following morning! I am so glad we hired him for our event; he truly helped make the evening a hit!
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Eric did a great job! He was prompt and organized in setting up the event and then put on a great show. It was family friendly as requested, funny and entertaining. The only negative was his sound system seemed to be acting up.
Corporate Magician
Eric was extremely good with the kids and his tricks were amazing!! He had everyone stunned. Including me I kept saying what the heck?! There was never a dull moment. I'm glad I hired him. He was great! :)
Children’s Party Magician
Both adults and children alike enjoyed this show from Magic Eric. He is definitely highly recommended. We had about 100 individuals present, all with smiles on their faces. You can't get better feedback than that! Many, many thanks to you, Eric.
