We recently hired LaBak for my girls’ birthday party, and it was an incredible experience! From start to finish, the performance was engaging, fun, and perfectly tailored to a young audience. The magic tricks were fantastic, and LaBak kept the kids (and adults!) amazed and entertained the entire time. The tricks were interactive, and all the kids got to participate, which they absolutely loved. LaBak had a great way with the kids—keeping them laughing, clapping, and fully engaged. He was very patient and made sure every child felt included. Everything was handled professionally from the booking process to the end of the show. LaBak arrived on time, set up quickly, and kept the flow of the party smooth. The performance was age-appropriate and perfect for the group of kids. The kids and the parents are still talking about the magic show. If you're looking for a magician to bring fun and magic to your child’s party, I highly recommend LaBak.
Thank you for making the party unforgettable!

Hire him, so great! Blew all of us away.
I'm not great at reviews so all I can say is way worth it.

Thank you so much for your review, Reid. I had an awesome time performing at your party! I am so glad I had the privilege to add a bit of "magic" to your special celebration!
I recently booked LaBak for our daughter's 3rd birthday and let me tell you, i would book him again, and again and ten more times. Not only is he professional and courteous, but he shows up early enough to start the show on time is extremely friendly and personable. How is his magic? Top notch! He is a true master of his craft and both the kids and adults were mesmerized as he performed these ticks right before our eyes. Literally, I am still wondering how he pulled some of them off. He has the best price in town and for the amount of experience he has and the show he puts on, it was worth the price and then some. He responds quickly to correspondence and goes over every detail so you can rest assured that if LaBak is your magician for your get-together, your guest's entertainment is in very good hands. He even did an awesome trick where he presented our daughter with an extremely thoughtful gift. So if you're looking for a top notch quality magician, stop looking and starting booking LaBak. You definitely will not be disapointed.

I hired LaBak for my boss's birthday party to do strolling magic during the cocktail hour - all adults. He was perfect! Would definitely hire him again!
Strolling/Close-up Magician
We had the pleasure of having LaBak perform strolling magic at the cocktail hour of our wedding.
From our first online meeting until the end of his performance we couldn't have asked for better communication! He arrived to the venue early, and got to business right on time.
LaBak has an incredibly warm and friendly demeanor. He is a magician for all ages. We had over 125 guests of all ages (6 months-90 years old!!!) who were all incredibly engaged by him.
As he was leaving, he performed a trick for us (don't want to spoil it) that left my husband in happy/emotional tears.
LaBak was the perfect addition to our wedding. If you are looking for a magician for your event we highly recommend LaBak! We can't wait for LaBak to perform at our next big event.
(Added pics of him performing for one of our guests!)
Very nice guy to deal with. He kept everyone busy and entertained both old and young.
great communication and fast replies to messages.

LaBak was so wonderful to work with. He was on time, communicated well, planned a personalized show that was perfect for our 6 year old’s birthday, and made my son (birthday boy) the star of the show. AND he stuck around to give wandering performances for adults after! We couldn’t have been happier. Thank you, LaBak!

We hired LaBak for my daughters 6th birthday party, and LaBak did not disappoint. From the first email to the day of the party, he was very responsive to any and all communication. He arrived on time and even stayed a little later than the contract time. The kids were captivated, as well as the adults. Would recommend him in a heartbeat.

We wanted something different and special at our wedding and LaBak nailed it.
LaBak was communicative during the hiring process and extremely professional during the event. Arrived on time, walked around table to table and even performed a special trick for us, the bride and groom. Our guests were so impressed with his magic!
Hire him, you will not be disappointed, rather pleasantly impressed.
Thank you, LaBak, for making our day even more magical. :)

LaBak was an excellent and professional Magician. He was timely, age appropriate for my 5 year old and very entertaining. The adults had just as much fun as the kids and he made my son feel very important and special. I highly recommend him for any special event.

We have chosen LaBak the Magician to perform at our daughter's 6th birthday party. He did an awsome job of entertaining not only kids but also adults; he was very proffessional, prompt and fun. We all liked him a lot and recommend him to our friends.

I hired LaBak the Magician for the Soerens Ford Employee Company Picnic. We had about 80 guests including about 20 children. LaBak offered great rates, and was willing to work with our schedule of events for the day. Everyone had a great time! His tricks were mind-blowing for the adults and kids a like. The stage show was amazing everyone was enthralled and even stopped watching the Packers game to enjoy. We would certainly hire him again. He really made our picnic one to remember.

We hired LaBak The Magician for our daughter's surprise 11th birthday party based on other online reviews we had read. All I can say is that his performance was FANTASTIC. All of the kids attending the party (about 22 of them) were completely engaged and entertained. We had several adults at the party as well and we were as engaged as the kids. Wonderful to work with, an amazing performance and he incorporated some special surprises for the birthday girl all making for an unforgettable event. We would recommend LaBak for any event or occassion, kids or adults.

The event was a church annual dinner for about 105 people, held in conjunction with our pledge drive. LaBak was wonderful to work with from my first contact. He explained exactly what his show would be like and invited input so that the content could be personalized to the event. I have received many enthusiastic comments from attendees about how much they enjoyed his performance. One person told me that when her husband enjoys something, she knows it's special! During the performance, the audience was very responsive...a sign of a good performer. Personally, I enjoyed his humor component as much as the magic. I've seen magic shows that had a serious tone--this was much more fun and the magic was just as good.

I had first seen LaBak the Magician at a charity event; he was wonderful. My son didn't stop taling about him for days. I was having my daughter's birthday party the next week and just knew I had to have him come and perform for us. He is an incredibly talented, funny and personable individual. It was a HUGE success. Everyone enjoyed his performance from the 3 year olds up to the 70 year olds. He included everyone in on his act and it couldn't have been more entertaining. I would highly recommend LaBak the Magician for ANY upcoming event you may be planning whether it be for 10 people or 110, it is well worth it! Thank you for making our special day so memorable! Don't think I'll be able to top this next year, I'll just have to have you back!

LaBak the Magician is truly a fine performer. I am especially impressed with the way he personalized his show for my event and his interactive play with my friends and family. I have had alot of feed back from my guests, and, although I had a number of activities planned for the party, everyone mentions that their favorite part of the festivities was LaBak's performance.

Testimonials
I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to get when I first made my inquiry about magicians……….was I ever surprised!!!! ..... your magic experience was wonderful! The birthday bingo game that you played with them was one of the best and cutest ideas I’ve ever seen. Having the boys scream that over and over again will be a memory that Mitchell and I will never forget! Thank you again for everything that you did – you far exceeded my expectations. I’m sure the boys will be talking about it at school today – and heck, I’ve even been talking about it at work. So, perhaps if anyone in the office ever needs a magician, I’ll tell them how they can magically make one appear!
