Josh was hired for a work Christmas party for my husbands company. I was skeptical at first, but his show was really enjoyable and I laughed out loud multiple times. Very fun and I love that he's a Harry Potter fan!

We booked Joshua to perform strolling magic during the cocktail hour at our wedding. He was amazing! All of our guests loved his performances and people are still talking about how great and mind-boggling his illusions were. He was easy to communicate with and was very reasonably priced. I hope to have another reason to use Joshua's services in the future, and would definitely recommend him to everyone!

Thanks so much, Suzy! Your anniversary party was SO much fun!

Josh did my husband’s 70th birthday party and he rocked it! He is a great communicator with planning, showed up early and even helped us get ready for our event by helping bring in supplies and set up our PA System. His set was engaging, fun, and filled with incredible “magical” experiences. He’s skilled with sleight of hand, uses people in the audience and has a tremendous sense of humor and timing. I had several people share how much they enjoyed the show and thought it made the night! Thank you Josh for helping make this party extra special!

Thanks, Karen! That was such a fun event. It was so nice being able to share in the celebration of your husband's birthday (and I even got to help set up the bar)!

Did a show for our team in Taylorville il. His magic was amazing as well as entertaining. Josh also taught us tricks to work on as a team for our team building exercise.
I would absolutely recommend Josh for any event. He brought me in front to do a trick and had me thinking my coworkers were psychic! But the joke was on me. 😆
Thanks for the amazing performance Josh!

Thanks, Nate! The teambuilding was so much fun.

Josh did a close-up magic show for my wife's birthday party at our house, and he was absolutely stellar! His magic was fantastic, he was kind, considerate, and professional, and on top of that, he pivoted brilliantly! Originally, we didn't plan on having any children present, but we ended up having 5 or so. Despite this, Josh managed a couple of tricks that the kids could love while also entertaining the adults. We can't wait to watch Josh perform again, and we can't recommend him highly enough!

Thanks Jake! I hope you had a great party!

Josh performed strolling magic and a show at a benefit we were having. He was friendly in our communications prior to the event and flexible when we had to make some adjustments in showtime due to dinner running long from an overwhelming response in attendance. He interacted well with the crowd and his tricks and humor were entertaining. Overall Josh was a pleasure to work with and his presence definitely added some magic to the evening! Thank you!

Hey Bob! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to write this for me! You're awesome.

I had Josh for my private party event and he was fantastic! A real professional and made every guest feel engaged and special. I did not expect just how much he would amaze everyone and it made the party so much more memorable having him here! Definitely plan to book him again next year when we have this event.

Dude! So kind of you to say! I guess you liked the lemon trick?

We had wonderful experience with Josh at our corporate holiday party. He brought clean, magical fun to our event and everyone loved it. I am not sure how he pulled off some of his tricks…I guess it’s a trade secret.
If you’re looking to liven up your events with some wholesome entertainment…I highly recommend Josh Weidner. We will definitely use him again.

Thank you so much, Troy! I really appreciate it!

Josh is a great guy, very professional, and performed many clever magic tricks. Our guests were intrigued and surprised. Unfortunately my family had seen many of the tricks in other shows in the past.

Joshua did a fantastic job at our Spring Lake Country Club in Quincy, IL! He had us in awe and laughing the whole time! Not only is he a terrific performer, he is a professional, intelligent and caring individual. I would, most definitely, recommend him for any age show you are looking for! Ours was "adults only" and he was truly amazing and fun!

I went to see Joshua perform at some ballroom over in St. Louis, MO in November and his show is fantastic! It's a nonstop ride full of hilarious jokes, audience participation, and amazing magic. We booked Joshua for our company's luncheon early next year and we can't wait to have him at our event!
