Overview
Most GigSalad clients ask about price first — so here’s an unbeatable offer:
I will perform for ANY PRICE if:
1.) I have the date available.
2.) You offer the fairest fee you can afford.
3.) Your offer recoups my expenses.
4.) I am treated with respect.
Most of my clients are full time event planners or large companies, so my career has been very good to me. I am thankful that I can give back with this sliding-scale, “honor system” arrangement.
I aim to be a “go-giver.”
As for what I actually do, please see my website.
Best,
Gentry

If you're looking for a fun and engaging experience look no further! We hired Gentry for a birthday party and he did not dissapoint! We enjoyed the show from start to finish and his warm and friendly interaction with the guests from start to finish! What a great time!

Gentry's show is amazing! Not only were the tricks highly entertaining, but the way he used thoughtful dialogue, audience participation, wit, and incredible humor to paint colorful pictures and create a fun and thoughtful environment were astonishing. I absolutely loved the performance and I certainly hope to witness his act again!

Nick was awesome! He is professional but also very entertaining. He is someone that will definitely make you think. He doesn’t go for the cheap easy (trick). He really makes you think but in a very creative way. He is the best for sure. My kids and I watch all his videos. Great job sir!

Good entertainment is a rare breed these days, so when you stumble across something as genuine as Nicholas Gentry - The Intellectual's Illusionist as he calls himself, what a breath of fresh air he is. Yeah, the magic is definitely flowing with Mr. Gentry but more than that he is down to earth, most definitely a man of good character and strong whit. Those are all great qualities in and of themselves, but when you add the humor that he so flawlessly wields, (he could actually do stand up on the side), you are presented with the perfect entertainer. His performance is fluid and his illusions will absolutely keep you bewildered. If I had to sum up Mr. Nick and his act in one word it would be fun! Trust me if you ever found yourself stranded on a desert island with Nicholas Gentry, you would never experience a dull moment.

Nicolas Gentry is beyond amazing, to say that he is a good magician would be a gross understatement of his abilities. The way he works a large diverse room is transcending, he seems to be everywhere simultaneously but non-intrusive at the same time. Everyone in the room had a personal experience with him but everyone was also able to enjoy his show even while he was tending to other guests one on one.
He had a way of pulling our large group together in such a way that we all bonded personally over sharing this amazing event together. It was a great unintended team building experience!
I have put together many corporate events utilizing D.J.’s, mobile casinos, carnival games, musicians and many other entertainers but hiring Nicolas was by far my most successful! I highly recommend and will definitely hire him again.

Nick is an incredible entertainer. Magic and illusions are just part of his show. He has an extraordinary knack of interacting with his audience and making them laugh and pique their curiosity. Looking forward to seeing him against soon and any new illusions he has "up his sleeve" to share.

Nicholas performed at my parents’ anniversary party. Believe me when I say the audience was engaged with the show. Both the illusions and Nicholas’ entertaining personality were top notch. This was well worth the price.

WOW - Absolutely amazing magic and sleight of hand! This was up close magic at its best and I still have no idea how he did the illusions. Entertaining for the entire performance and I can't wait to see more. He is perfect for parties and corporate events and will keep everyone engaged all evening! Can't wait to see any new tricks he has up his sleeve soon.

Caught Nikolas Jintri online during a Zoom performance on Paris 22, 2021. Nikolas is both funny and thought provoking while simultaneously engaging as a great illusionist. His sleights are spot on and his presentaion of the marriage between the magic arts with bite-sized philosophical nuggets that are meaty without being too much for regular patrons to chew is as far as I cna tell wonderfully refreshingly original. Nikolas will remain on my must see again list long after the show and I look forward to seeing him live.

We did a Zoom show with Nick Jintri. It was truly one of the best things I've done since Covid started! Nick has a way of presenting his 'magic' with a twist of philosophy that gets into your mind, and mine was blown, not just once but repeatedly. And the humor --- he keeps you on the edge of your seat, giggling! Please watch his next show! When this pandemic is over, I will be at his next live show!

Jintri (aka Nick) is an incredible individual, engaging entertainer, and though provoking philosopher. He amazed us with his performance and had us in stitches and mesmerized with his stories and history that tied in to each one of his illusions. He will definitely be back and I would recommend him for any corporate event or private party.

I hired Nick for an online corporate event. This event was NOT limited to one geographical location, but Gigsalad requires me to list a city.
Nick absolutely wowed all of us! We were so much more impressed than we expected to be! The magic was executed perfectly and so very entertaining. Including a card trick in which I myself was holding the deck of cards, 3,000 miles away from the performer!
We thought we'd have to lower our expectations in order to be entertained long distance but we were dead wrong. Nick is extremely intelligent and charismatic. We all really enjoyed the trajectory of the show and the overall presentation. I can't recommend Nick highly enough.
