September 21, 2026Fabulous addition to our celebration!!
Rodney was AMAZING! Certainly, his magic skills were ON POINT…but beyond that, he was FUN!!! He was just so nice and seamlessly mixed into the party! He was personable and easy to work with throughout the weeks ahead! Always got back to me quickly and came thru when I had made a mistake in planning!
Definitely, a 10/10 WOULD hire again!!!

Rodney made my Mom's 70th birthday magical! He was funny, the tricks were original, and he had everyone wondering HOW did he do that?!?
He wandered through the party and engaged with people throughout which gave the guests an unexpected magical experience!
I would highly recommend booking him for your next event! We will absolutely have him come to another one in the future!
