Nate was absolutely amazing. Kids and adults loved his show - we were all blown away!
He was also very professional and turned up on time. Would definitely recommend 👍
Response from Magician & Mentalist, Nate Jester:
Thanks, Denise!
We had Nate perform at our twins (and older daughter) birthday. Too many kids to count but Nate had them all captivated and laughing. Several guests came up to me afterwards singing his praises. I recommend Nate with no hesitation - he was amazing.
Kids and parents loved the show.
Really good magic that is for everyone.
Nate did a fantastic job with our Christmas party. We had over one hundred people there and he worked and wowed the crowd as he walked around and performed his close-up magic. He made our party extra special this year!
He entertained everyone from the age of 2 to 82. We’re still wondering how he made the table float.
He puts on a great show that is enjoyable for all ages!
Nate was amazing. Our 9 year old twins and their friends loved every moment of the show. Nate was on time, very well prepared and created a show adapted for the kids' age and personalities. We highly recommend Nate for any kind of party as a great resource of entertainment and fun.
We were a super small group (4 kids) in a super small Livingroom and Nate blew us away! Still talking about him..."how did he do that!" We gave our kids a starter magic starter kit and they have been very busy trying to be like Nate. Hands down, Nate is the real deal (not your average kid-party magician) he is mega stage material. We feel so lucky to have had him make our son's party extra special. Very, very cool! Thanks Nate!
Our large group of 8 and 9 years olds were getting pretty noisy and restless in spite of plenty of active games. It only takes a few to get a group going. The minute Nate started his show, his quiet calm voice immediately settled them down and he had them for the next 40 minutes. He really knows how to capture the imaginations of a young group as well as the adults who were in the room. A GREAT party resource!
Nate was so amazing, he made my daughters birthday party an experience that no one will ever forget! He amazed both the children AND adults with his performance! He was hysterical and his tricks truly were mystifying! I would highly recommend Nate for any party and will most likely be booking him in the future because he is that good!
We had Nate come over for our twin girls' 6th birthday party with 14 children total. He had all of them in giggles immediately. He entertained them for almost an hour and I have received so many messages from other parents already saying how much their child enjoyed the party. It was a wonderful event, my girls were so happy and we would absolutely hire him again!
Nate was hired to perform for my 9th year old daughter's birthday party.
It was a complete success!!!
He had all the kids ages from teenagers to babies very entertained, happy and having an amazing time!!!
I'm absolutely hiring him again!!!
Every dollar totally worth it!
Kids Leo's saying it was the best party they've ever been to!!
Thank you Nate!!!
You are fanstastic!!!
Since my kids guest's age range from 4-12, I wasn't sure what to do, but it was perfect choice to do magic birthday party!
Everyone enjoyed it very much!
Thanks for making my son's party memorable.
Would have him again.
All of our group of kids (and their parents) were enthralled with Nate Jester's performance. Nate was very flexible with use of space and he tailored the show to the level of the audience based on information from me (rather than just their ages). We had 10 & 11 year olds but asked for a teen level show. Nate even threw in an adult trick that uses math and the kids loved it. My son had seen other Magic shows 3 times previously and he (and the other kids) thought it was really amazing to be having the show in his living room. I'm really really glad I hired Nate!
Today was my son's 7th birthday party and it was a great success because of Nate. Nate included my son and his sister's in a few of the acts as well as some of the other party attendees. All the kids had a blast. Even the adults in attendance had a great time. When the party was over the parents remarked how great the magician was. After the magic show Nate made each child a balloon animal of their choice. I would highly recommend Nate to anyone who was looking to hire a magician.
Response from Magician & Mentalist, Nate Jester:
Thanks, Terri. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it!
Nate entertained our group (ages 10 months to 80!) for my son's 13th birthday party. He did a great job of keeping everyone laughing, amazing and confounding us with his tricks. There are a few we are still scratching our heads over! After the main show, he took aside the older kids (tween/teens) and conducted a workshop to teach them a magic trick they could try themselves. Everyone was engaged and kept asking me where I found him. He was great and just the illusionist I was looking for! My son was so happy...I would highly recommend him
Response from Magician & Mentalist, Nate Jester:
Thanks for the review, Emmie. I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the show. You were all a really fun group to entertain. Thanks for having me!!!
Nate was the hit of the party! He entertained both kids and adults alike. Was able to wrangle and focus six, really excited 4 year old girls and got the 1 year old birthday boy clapping with a standing ovation.
We had Nate for my daughters 3rd birthday (mix of kids from 3-7). I was worried about the kids having the attention span to listen, but he was very entertaining and engaging. He definitely had their full attention! He was very funny - the parents loved it and the magic tricks were great - I was very impressed. I think having some of the bigger kids definitely helped keep the attention of the little ones as well - my 3 year old was too shy to volunteer to be the helper but loved watching and my 5 year old and her friends were very eager to volunteer. We would definitely use him again and a few of the parents at the party have already called to book him.
We Had Nate perform for our son's 8th birthday party. The kids and adults loved him! He was great with the kids, very entertaining, and his magic was very good! A friend at the party, booked him for another party. Highly recommended!
We hired Nate for our daughter's 5th and 6th birthday party because he is simply amazing. Nate is very professional with all the booking details and very patient with answering any questions or concerns. He arrives on time (if not early) to the venue and is efficient with the set-up and tear-down process of his "stage". Once the show begins, it's smiles and laughter all around, especially for our daughter who loved helping Nate with a few tricks. He knows how to make the celebrant feel special, include other children in the audience, and humor parents who would rather be somewhere else! We appreciate that Nate created a whole new show this year and didn't repeat a single trick from last year's party. Thank you Nate for making our daughter's birthday parties so special, memorable and FUN! See you next year!
I hired Nate to perform at a our local YMCA daddy daughter, Y Princesses group and couldn't have been more pleased with him. The show was excellent and he held the attention of our group of K-3rd grade girls with skill and style. When he was done, it was smiles all around and balloon animals in hands. Every dad in the room was impressed with his magic and were absolutely thrilled to see the excitement on their daughter's faces.
Nate was able to interact seamlessly with the group all the while preforming a very entertaining blend of comedy and magic. I would highly recommend Nate Jester to anyone who is looking for a really fun event for kids and adults. We are already planning for next years show.
Thanks for coming back to the Seattle Yacht Club. Our members love seeing you and your performances are always sold out. You do such a great job entertaining the children while keeping the adults laughing. We are looking forward to having you back next year. I recommend Nate Jester without reservations for any gathering.
Nate Jester performed for the school's annual fundraiser. He was very professional and responded quickly to all my inquires. He amazed both the children and the parents. Nate did a great job of keeping the children engaged and involved with his performance. The parents enjoyed his performance as much as the children. The children and parents are still trying to figure out how Nate did some of his magic tricks. Nate was a huge hit with everyone! I would definitely recommend him for your event and I would hire him to perform again.
In need of a magician for our Annual Purim Party, I went online to see who I could find. And lo and behold, there was Nate Jester! He was phenomenal! The kids and adults at our party were totally engaged, more like mesmerized. He is professional, sweet and so adorable to work with. We look forward to having him back. He's a gem!
I found Nate on this site, we have never hired a magician before and what a treat. We had a retirement party, Nate was on time and went from group to group and had everyone engaged. He then put on a short show using a couple of employees was great. This really made the event, I had many people comment on what a great idea it was to hire a Magician and what a joy Nate Jester was.
The show was funny, exciting, and entertaining the entire time. My son was his helper and he just loved it along with the rest of the kids. Great show and would definitely recommend him.
I originally saw Nate at a large event, and he did a great job of playing and engaging the entire audience. We had Nate perform at our twins' 7th birthday part recently, and he put on a great show!! Nate does a great job of using humor to draw everyone in, and does fantastic illusions that stumped all of us! (This is the second time we have had Nate perform at our kids' party.) I highly recommend Nate for both smaller parties, and also for corporate or large events. He has a GREAT sense of humor, a quick wit, and is a REALLY talented illusionist!!! (I'm still trying to figure out the floating table!)
We had an amazing show and our friends still talk about it. Not only kids even Adults had Gala time! We highly recommend him and we will look forward to having him over for future parties.
We used Nate for our 7 year olds bday party and loved his act! He was entertaining for the kids and the adults and had us all laughing. I would highly recommend him!
Nate made a huge impression at our 18th century masquerade ball. All of the 100 guests were impressed with his stage act and his close-up work. He is mesmerizing in an unassuming way. Every 10 minutes we heard bursts of laughter as he moved from table to table. He even wore a mask to fit in with the theme. His acts were superbly delivered.
Nate is a wonderful magician. He involves the audience and provides just the right touch of humor. He's also very professional and easy to work with.
Highly recommend him!
Nate came to our home for my son's birthday party where there were a lot of adults present as well as children of varying ages under 10. I'm not sure who had more fun or who was more in awe--the kids or the adults, but all I can say is this guy's got talent, he's totally professional, super nice, and completely wowed us all. Worth every penny. Amazing!!!
Impressive, magical experience for our child's birthday party! Nate treated everyone respectfully, even those children who forgot their manners at times. He was entertaining, enthusiastic, and very respectful to everyone. He arrived on time and performed the entire time he agreed to. His act was very age appropriate and the kids were completely engaged the whole time. We highly recommend his act for anyone interested in magic. He'll definitely put a good spell on your party.

Nate's highly interactive performance is sure to keep the audience laughing and shaking their heads in disbelief. His unique magic and mentalism style includes a family-friendly combination of magic, mind-reading, and mentalism... something for everyone.
Nate grew up in Tacoma, WA, and is a child from the 80's. His first experience with magic came when I visited a local magic show near the Lakewood Mall. There, he spent many hours (and my allowance) learning the tricks of the trade. You could say he got hit with the Magic Bug, and it stuck... big time!
He lives in Seattle, WA, with his wife and their three sons (Brecken, Jett & Ace) family and enjoys the great outdoors.
