Response from Henry Carlyle:
Always great working with a classy organization!
I hired Henry for my husband's 40th birthday party. It was a mix of friends and family and not everyone knew each other so I was looking for an entertainer/magician to roam around the party, connect people together, break the ice and of course entertain - and he did all of that and beyond! First, he is a mind reader and we were blown away by his magic tricks! He had such a great personality, was funny, engaging, approachable and I would definitely recommend him for your parties!

What to Expect
So, you're planning a party and you want to make sure your guests have a unique and memorable experience. You can have your guests leave your party saying "That was one of the best parties I have ever been to!" In fact, wouldn't it be great if they talked about your party for WEEKS AFTER it was over? Henry Carlyle gives a fast moving performance that features lots of audience participation.
It's clean, it's sophisticated, and it's fun. At a corporate show recently, a female spectator had a signed playing card in her purse, it was a souvenir from a trick performed by Henry Carlyle at the same event THE YEAR BEFORE!! Mr. Carlyle's experience with business executives, celebrities, and high powered individuals enables him to move comfortably through a party to insure that all your guests are having a fantastic time. If desired, he will involve special guests (including you) in one of his highly entertaining magical effects.

“Thank you so much for your excellent performance at the MGA Spring Committee Meeting. The guests really enjoyed your performance. In fact, you provided the perfect conclusion to a fun filled golf event. Even those who played poorly will have enjoyed their day! We look forward to your next performance at the U.S. Open Championship in June at Bethpage Black. We at the Metropolitan Golf Association can testify that Carlyle was terrific.”

"I first met Henry Carlyle on Wall Street years ago. We visited recently and I took him to a meeting with the marketing consultants/ad agency for a portfolio company of ours. Before we all knew it, he had control of the room. The noise and laughter coming from the conference room brought in the other employees and the show was terrific. They had NEVER seen anything like it! A two minute spot-on assessment of the market at the end just confirmed the spectrum of entertainment Henry Carlyle brings to the party. By the way, he was immediately booked by the agency for an AT&T event in Dallas as a result!"

"Henry came to our Annual Finance Conference and entertained in the middle of a long day of presentations. The audience reacted extremely positively and it really helped re-energize the group. He was smart and funny and absolutely on-target for this corporate setting. He was the perfect choice for this event."
