I can’t say enough great and amazing things about Kevin! When I started thinking about all the details and uniqueness I wanted for my wedding day I knew I wanted to do something different than the norm. I’m a graphic designer so creative storytelling is a big part of who I am. Also, with our guest personalities and not a ton of people who knew each other or necessarily had the same interests we knew that the traditional dancing wasn’t something we wanted to focus on. After considering some other options that didn’t really feel like the right thing I started thinking about doing a magic show as the primary source of entertainment for our brunch wedding. Well, the only magicians I really knew about were the kinds on tv or at kids parties, no in-between LOL.
I happened upon Kevin’s profile and reached out. It was like I could feel the friendliness through the email! I told him my idea, what I was trying to do and why and he was excited about helping an idea like this come to life!! He told me that coming to cocktail hour would be a great way to get guests who didn’t know each other, to open up and mingle. Then we could do a 30 min show right as brunch was wrapping up. He was very confident and left me with no worries on how everything would turn out.
And boy was Kevin a hit!!! I can’t tell you how many people said to me how amazed they were at what he did and how much fun it was watching and participating in what he put together for the show. He even did a special trick for us as the newly married couple!
I know that it was a pretty off the cuff idea to have a magician at our wedding but I believe it’s one of my favorite choices that I made throughout the process and Kevin, undeniably, was the reason for that. He got to know everyone and was just the nicest human. If you’re looking to add some mind boggling fun to your next event you should definitely hit him up!

Thanks so much Patrice! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and I had such a great time performing for you, Nate, and all of your guests! Please get in touch anytime if I can lend a magical touch to any future get-togethers!
I have had the pleasure of working with Kevin on multiple events. He is the absolute best! His audiences are always blown away and rave about him. His comedic skills are just as amazing as his magic skills.
He is also always thoroughly prepared for every show and you can tell how much he puts into his routines to perfect them. His professionalism and attention to detail are top notch.

Thank you so much Anna! It’s always a pleasure working with you and the rest of the Heights House team in such a fantastic venue!
Kevin has done performances for me in both casual and professional settings. He is hands down the best person I have ever dealt with in booking entertainment for an upcoming event.
From the first call we had, Kevin made sure to understand what we were looking for and what kind of performance would work best for our event.
Working with Kevin through the years, he continues to amaze me with his skills. Everything from close-up tricks, comedy, and stage shows. Our guests, even from several years ago, still talk about Kevin today.
Kevin is the best in the business and the only magician I work with!
