John was great at engaging twelve 5 year old children. He was funny and entertaining and the kids (and adults) absolutely loved it. Lucy the rabbit was, of course , a big hit! I highly recommend him.

I hired John Tudor for my business group's Christmas Party last year and it was a great experience. Everyone enjoyed his show and the fun surprise at the end. It was a big hit for our older members, newer younger members, and even friends and family that joined us.

John performed at my son's 5th birthday party for about 20 kids ages 2-7-years-old. I've never seen the kids sit still this long - they were completely rapt! John did a great performance for about 45 minutes. There was opportunity for audience interaction (including special attention on the birthday boy), which all the kids loved. John's bunny was also a HUGE hit. I've never seen such a sweet well-trained animal! The kids loved petting the bunny. Overall, John was a pleasure and we would absolutely hire him again.

My son loved the magic show so much, he kept talking about it all night. I was even surprised by many of his tricks.
Mr. Tudor was a professional and very kind with the kids. Great show!
John was great! He arrived and immediately started to work the room table by table with card tricks and sleight of hand tricks! He then did a show for the entire party with great props and his rabbit! I highly recommend John for any type of event.
John was great to work with. He communicated with me before the event to make sure we were on the same page. The kids at our event loved his show and especially his rabbit Lucy. I would definitely recommend John for any of your magician needs!

We booked John Tutor for a bridal brunch. Audience spanned ages and it was a rather subdued group until John worked his magic! He was entertaining, lots of fun, and very memorable...Thank you John! We will be calling on you again!

I would recommend John Tudor for a entertainment event. He was very prompt and accommodating for my Granddaughter’s Birthday party . We were so happy with the magic show he performed for her Birthday . We would definitely hire John for any upcoming events. He is a very talented magician and the children loved his show.

The kids talked about the show hours after he left.

We hired John for my 7 year old daughter's birthday party. The kids were all amazed and loved Lucy the rabbit. John was very flexible and accommodating to possible last minute changes if needed. Thank you John! A parent told me when her son came back home after the birthday party he raved about how much fun he had at our party and talked about the magic tricks he saw with such excitement. Makes it all worth it when you hear such positive reviews from the guests. Lucy the rabbit definitely adds a whole other element to the show that no other magician in the area can match.
Children’s Party Magician
John performed a show for my son's Birthday party. My son, the other kids and the adults all enjoyed the performance. We had many parents tell us what a great idea it was and John did a wonderful job. My son (9), who is also into performing magic opened up for John which was an idea that John suggested when we first did the booking. John made it entertaining for the kids and adults alike. They all loved his rabbit that is a part of his act and all got a chance to pet it after the show. It was a fun time by all. Thanks John!
Children’s Party Magician
John was professional and on time. He was very interactive with the crowd and kept the audience engaged!
We loved his pet rabbit and the magic tricks that were performed! I would definitely recommend using John Tudor, he was awesome entertainment for our party!
We had an adult costume party for 68 people and hired John and Lucy " AKA" his rabbit. They were amazing! My friends are still trying to figure out how he did his card tricks! We highly recommend John he won't disappoint!

I was looking for a customized Harry Potter based magic show and John did great. He had the kids laughing and engaged the entire time. This was a tough crowd of 7-9 year olds, but they loved his show. Lucy the pet rabbit was a great hit with all the kids. One kid even told John that she would hire him for her birthday party. He was on time and spent extra minutes in the end for photos. Birthday girl even got a wand and booklet of tricks to try on her own that she's delighted with. Thank you John!

We had the best birthday party experience with John. The kids and adults loved the show. John is wonderful with kids and has the parents engaged too. Lucy his bunny was an awesome surprise for the kiddos. She is the coolest bunny I’ve ever met. Thank you again John! I will highly recommend you to everyone!
I enjoyed the show and John was very accommodating. My 3 year old actually paid attention to most of the show and that was a magic feat within itself. We will definitely be using him again.
Hired him for my daughter's third birthday party and he was awesome. The kids were a pretty wide range but I can honestly say that all the children and adults had a great time. Thank you so much for making the birthday party so special, definitely recommend him.

All of the pre-event communication went well. John always returned my calls promptly.
His show was well-received by the attendees and he was very professional. He engaged all the attendees by moving from table to table at our outdoor event and everyone loved seeing the rabbit. I would not hesitate to have John again at another event.
Cabaret Entertainment, Magician
John Tudor performed at our wedding reception and did a phenomenal job. Our original hope was that John would provide some entertainment for the many youngsters in attendance but he surpassed all expectations and had the whole audience, young and old alike, captivated.
John truly is the magician to book - you won’t be disappointed!

John came out before time provided a great show my employees will remember and even provided some laughs. Excellent service from a genuine man
Illusionist, Interactive Performer, Magician
John was very quick to respond and got to the venue ahead of time. He was very good w the children. He knew how to get 100 percent of their attention and how to keep them engaged, which is tough in this age group.
John also included the parents which was fun and had a trained bunny. We will definitely book again if we need a magician.
Highly recommend!!

Response from Magic of John Tudor:
Thanks, Flora!
John Tudor is a true professional in every sense of the word! He absolutely made our grandson's birthday the best yet. From our first contact, his communication, feedback and reassurance to a nervous grandma trying to surprise my grandson-- John was top notch. His performance was riveting, appropriately humorous and frankly amazed not only the children (a large group of kindergarteners) but all of the adults as well!! He handles the children extremely well and I was especially appreciative of his wonderful patience with them. (!!!). I especially appreciated how accessible he made himself to me in texts, emails and phone calls. I wholeheartedly endorse John Tudor for not just children's parties, but all kinds of events. He is extremely versatile and a true gentleman. He was a Huge Hit!

What to Expect
John Tudor's shows are INTERACTIVE, with the accent on COMEDY, usually leading to a STANDING OVATION. Special guest is Lucy, the TRAINED RABBIT, who is pulled from a hat and performs magic and mind reading.
PRE-SHOW
Before most shows begin, John Tudor warms up the crowd with sleight of hand magic performed close up, interactive tricks with cards, money, wands, soap bubbles, etc. to build anticipation.
THE SHOW
MONEY FROM EVERYWHERE Tudor starts strong, with a high impact routine where handfuls of money are pulled out of the air, from the audience, and everywhere.
AUDIENCE MAGIC Interactive audience participation routines follow, where audience members are up on stage in spontaneous comedy situations: like the Floating Present (a levitation that becomes a gift), or Starcle (where an audience member becomes "a star", and takes a star home for a souvenir).
STORY MAGIC Tudor excels at magic stories that stir the emotions, like Drawing Down the Moon (spectators help do magic with moon's phases), and the Haunted Sword (where three selected cards are stabbed in the air).
VISUAL MAGIC Several routines present dazzling spectacles, like making a cloud of colored paper butterflies appear, and silk banners that change colors.

John's heartwarming magic has been enjoyed across North America professionally since 1987. He appears in theaters and television, for Fortune 500 companies, and for conferences, and educational venues.

John's magic is born out of passion and theater; and by pulling rabbits out of hats, he seeks to bring out the magic in everyone. His magic secret is his way with the audience.

Rave Reviews
"I would recommend John Tudor without hesitation to any organization that asked. He was very professional, very accommodating, and very entertaining. John arrived early and stayed late; he worked well with the hotel staff, the casino staff and our emcee; he involved the crowd and his show was appropriate for the time of day and the professional crowd attending."
-Susan Longshore, Essex Homes
“John is a 'Class Act' and goes far beyond the usual magician's capabilities. Thanks for a tremendous performance and a professional approach.”
-Peter Burroughs, Coca Cola
"We have booked The Magic of John Tudor a dozen times over the past 5 years. We presented his full show in a 800 seat theatre with full lighting and sound and it was terrific. Especially great with kids. We also use him for festivals, donor receptions and fundraisers. He can work in virtually any setting, with any audience, is funny and his magic tricks are dazzling. Easy to work with, understands the business and will make your event memorable."
-Andrew Witt, Cultural Council of Richland and Lexington Counties
“Fantastic! You're just Fantastic!”
-Millie Grimes, Belfair Oaks Plantation
