We had the pleasure of hiring Phil for our work event, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From the moment he arrived, he was incredibly sweet and professional. His cheerful demeanor and authenticity made him a hit with everyone in the office. He went above and beyond to engage with our staff, creating a fun and festive atmosphere that was enjoyed by all. Santa truly made our event special, and we’ve received nothing but positive feedback from our team. We highly recommend him for any event and will definitely be looking to book him again in the future!
This is my second year using this Santa and I absolutely love Mr. Claus and Mrs. Claus. They are really a great team together, the children love their Santa visit.
Santa Phil did a fantastic job with our special needs kiddos - everyone had a blast!

Thank you so much!
There are not enough stars or space to rave about Phil Nichols Entertainer! This event was for Continuing Education for our study club of Dentists and their team. The balloon making was a huge hit! Phil Nichols Entertainment will definitely be coming back to events for us, that will include some magic and juggling. I can't wait to see them at the Renaissance Festival and Rodeo!
I had a group of 9 and 10 year olds and he couldn’t keep them engaged. Overall the show was ok.

Response from Phil Nichols Entertainer:
Ok look you booked me for a school then wanted to cancel then decided to do this party then changed the date two times. Your son was bullied and hit by one of the kids repeatedly. I take zero responsibility for not being able to keep them engaged
Phil and his wife were both awesome and very professional. He even gave my parents who came late an extended performance. We're all happy most especially the birthday celebrant.
The children loved the show ! It was very engaging for ages 5-10 yrs.

We had so much fun at our private entertainment! We will definitely book this again for our Pirate Day next year. Lots of laughs and fun!

Phil and his wife (Wingnut) arrived early, set up, and started making balloon animals right away. Phil did his show while wingnut continued with the balloon animals. The show held the children's attention. There were plenty of laughs and the adults enjoyed just as much as the kids.
So glad we decided to book with them and will again in the future when needed!
Phil and his wife were amazing. I was able to book them last minute as we had to change the venue to indoors because of weather. They made the party extra special. Their balloon animals were the best I’ve ever seen and the children and adults were all impressed.we also enjoyed the juggling and magic tricks. I would highly recommend them and would give them more stars if possible!
What a fun day!! Thank you soo soo much for making our Easter hunt the best!! You worked tirelessly and smiles the entire time! We can’t wait to use you for future events at Wonderwild!!! Mother goose was such a nice add on!!!

Phil and Wingnut were great! The kids enjoyed the magic show and Phil held their attention the ENTIRE TIME (which is saying something for a group of 5 and unders). The kids got to participate in the show
try some trick roping, and we concluded with amazing balloon creations!! We really enjoyed it. So happy we booked Phil!
Santa and Mrs. Claus were the best surprise we could have for the seasons end. Just as you feel the warmth in the pictures attached you feel it when in Santa and Mrs. Claus presence. as soon as they entered our building and walking around so many team members just were kids again. Such a delightful encounter. Their presence was everything to all the team members here. I would hope to have them again to visit this upcoming year. Just magical. No other way to explain the feeling and joy they bought to our company during the 2023 Holiday season. Thank you so much Santa and Mrs. Claus. 10 Stars
The performers arrived on time and were very professional! The kids were so excited!
Santa Claus
Santa and Mrs. Claus created a magical and memorable moment for our family! Not only was our 5 year old granddaughter beyond excited and thrilled, so were the adults/family! Santa’s reason for his visit of being on the “Nice List” and how to continue being on it going forward, a bit of Santa history and his Ho, Ho, Ho’s sprinkled in to his storytelling were just what one would imagine Santa to be! Santa kept me updated with his arrival and communication before was great! A night to remember for us all! Thank you Santa Phil!
Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus

Santa and Mrs. Claus stole the show at my Christmas open house. They are punctual, professional, kind. They carry the spirit of Christmas. Kids and adults loved them. Many memorable photos.
The staff loved Santa and Mrs. Clause. Their presence added such fun and laughter. They are very social, warm, and loving. We will definitely invite them to be a part of our other events.
Santa and Mrs. Claus did an awesome job. They took pictures with our students and went into the rooms with our infants. Next year I will definitely try to book again. Thank you so much!

We have had Phil Nicols & his Wife/Assistant entertain the children at our daycare on multiple occasions. They are always professional, on time, and put on a great show for the kids. We love booking them and they are always our first choice when it comes to entertainment for our center.

We were expecting just Phil and were greatly and happily surprised to find 2 clowns showed up! (the other being his wife, whom he met in clown college of so many years ago). We spend the first 30 minutes twisting balloons into various animals requested by the audience. Afterwards, an interactive magic show and ventriloquist act followed and was greatly received and appreciated by both the children AND the adults!
Throughout the entire show we were treated to witty conversation, some history about clowning and engaging one-on-one interaction with volunteers from the audience. We continued talking about how great the show was long after the 2 clowns had left for their next GIG. We will be calling them back to another event in the near future. (Highly recommended).

Balloon twisting was exciting and engaging for the kids.
This couple was kind, patient, classy, on time, respectful, beautifully dressed. The kids (and adults) LOVED them. It was so amazing the adults wanted face paint and balloons for themselves. The magic show was super cute and everyone was totally entertained!! I’ll hire them again, many times!!!

Phil and his wife did advanced balloon twisting and face painting at my son's fourth birthday party. The theme of the party was transformers and i had asked for him to make an optimus prime out of balloons. What he made was fantastic, almost as big as my son who loved it. I am very happy I am booked them both for the party, the kids loved it and they were a pleasure to have there.

For our show, he did balloon twisting , a few magic tricks and puppets. Children and Adults enjoyed it alike.

I had the balloon twisting and clown show for a small gathering and it was just perfect! Everybody kept commenting on how good they were. Adults were very entertained and invested as well! One child even caught them on the way out just to say they were the best clown they ever had!
We decided to do something different and had clowns! One hour was great - funny humor and excellent balloon animals for everyone!
Balloon Twister, Comedy Magician, Clown
We had them for our son's 2nd birthday party at home and they entertained all the kids of all ages and the adults too. They made really cute balloons for the kids and the magic show after was entertaining for the entire crowd. Got compliments from all the guests later that kids were talking about them when they got home.

We hired clowns for a 36 yr old male and the entire office had so much fun with the show and balloons. They are experts at balloons!! I would definitely hire them again.

The show was great the kids and staff enjoyed every minute. Thank you so much!
We hired PhilNick for a Drive-Thru Cancer Survivor's Celebration at our facility this month, wanting the event to be uplifting and fun, but at the same time wanting to stay safe with Covid restrictions. PhilNick really made all the difference and were our STARS, bringing laughter and joy to all the patients as they visited each car, presenting balloons, doing juggling acts to honor each patient. I appreciated their joyful enthusiasm, passion for the patients, and dedication to their trade and would not hesitate to hire this duo again for any future events.
PHILNICK WAS THE BEST CLOWN EVER! MY AUDIENCE ENJOY HIM, BOTH KIDS AND ADULTS! He was very polite and arrived early. He was challenged by a rude spectator but he never folded or enticed the situation and I felt so bad for him but he maintained at all times. We had some great performances but the only one my 15 yr daughter keeps talking about was the clown! lol He made the kids balloons which, kept them occupied with something fun to play around with. Also, he is several acts in one. He juggles, does a ventriloquist act, tells jokes, does trick, face paintand it just lighten up the decor of my festival. I really appreciate him. Thank you sooo much Mr. PhilNick! You are absolutely adore and will hire again.-:)

Very professional and personable.
This was the best experience of our kids lives these entertainers was so amazing they were so professional so caring answering all the silly questions the kids was asking them and did an amazing job with keeping all the kids an adults entertained thank you the kids had a blast.
We had PhilNick come for my 7 yo son’s birthday party. He and his assistant arrived well before time to set things up. Started with twisting balloon which the kids absolutely loved. This was followed by some magic tricks and ended with ventriloquism. Overall a great performance for a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend him.

PhilNick the great and his assistant arrived on time and kept us posted of their ETA etc. They were extremely pleasant and super professional. I appreciate their patience. We had a few guests arrive late and they waited until everyone was there to start the show. They are extremely talented balloon twisters too. Even the adult guests asked for balloon twisting after seeing how gorgeous the kids balloons came out. The show was AMAZING! They had an amazing mix of magic show, juggling, comedy, guest interaction & Ventriloquism . The show was loved by both kids and adults. If I could give them 6 stars would. Hire them you will not regret it!!!

I really want to say thank you for the amazing show and time you had with our guests ❤️. All the kids enjoyed it so much and we will definitely keep you in mind for future bday parties. We loved your show and both of my kids were surprised with your magic tricks and the puppets/Ventriloquist show!

I invited PhilNick the Great to come to one of our year end cubscout events. He was amazing. I selected his Old West Medicine Man Theme, which enspired Cowboy themed attire and games for our event. However, he does several different themes. The kids had an amazing time during his 1 hour show. They were entertained by his ventriloquism, mesmerized by his magic and were rolling in laughter with his final act of using an audience member as his "puppet." PhilNick also mentioned that he was a former Eagle Scout, which was a nice connection with the scouts.
Excellent value for the price. I would highly recommend considering PhilNick the Great for your next scouting event, birthday party, etc.
Children’s Party Magician, Ventriloquist
Really enjoyed the experience of the clowns acts, Phil is great 👍

My daughter and her friends thoroughly enjoyed this team for her 4 year old birthday party. They did face painting, balloon animals, and a puppet and magic show. The kids (and the grown ups) were thoroughly impressed!
The kids and adults all absolutely enjoyed the show. It was very interactive. PhilNick was great with communication too prior to the event and arrived on time.

It started out with me wanting a simple puppet show for my 4 year old's birthday party. Living in Houston you would think easy ?? Found out because of covid a lot of these kind of entertainments are sadly no longer available. While searching the web I came across Gig Salad an agent for event entertainment. They responded in minutes. There were 4 puppet entertainers that responded with PhilNick being the 1st and offering everything I was looking for and more. He was a little more costly than I was wanting but he and his assistant delivered a PROMPT fun entertaining show. I also have to say GigSalad does a good job of communication between you and their vendor. With that being said if you don't have a vendor that pays attention to details, that's where the panic comes in. PhilNick pays attention and is informative. I want other's to know PhilNick's show and the person Phil and his assistant where fun ,caring, wonderful people and young and old had a great time watching and even participating in his show. Thank you PhilNick the Great Master of Ventriloquism and GigSalad for an awesome stress free experience.

This was the first time we hired Phil for our annual community carnival. Phil was great at communication before and after the event. He showed up ahead of his time to prepare for the show. Very organized and prompt.
As for the show, it was really great. The kids loved it, were engaged and had so much fun. I would strongly recommend Phil for your kids parties, community festivals, etc.
Ventriloquist
Phil, again you have done an awesome job of entertaining our 260 Mothers, Daughters and Sisters from the ages of 6-85 for our 29th Annual Mother Daughter Banquet on Saturday. They loved the new characters, magic and your interaction on stage with our guests. You are Blessed to be a Blessing!
Phil performed at a luncheon for widows and widower at Sharpstown Baptist Church. Everyone enjoyed his performance, especially the end when he turned our pastor into a puppet. I received many compliments following the event saying that the luncheon, including the entertainment, was great. The entire event was a great success.
Ventriloquist
We had Mr. Phill and his assistant yesterday for my son’s 7th birthday. Mr. Phill did a fantastic job. Not only kids but also all adults had great fun. He’s truly great entertainer and the best is, he performed with heart. We agreed only one hour for the show but when everyone is locked in with him, he performed more than what we expected.
Thanks again for coming to my son’s party.
Children’s Party Entertainment, Children’s Party Magician, Ventriloquist
We were so lucky to get Phil and his assistant at my daughter's 9th birthday party. He was everything I hoped for, and more. He is a true entertainer in the old-fashioned sense, and a professional through and through. We laughed, we were amazed, we were dazzled. The illusions, the banter, and the ventriloquism were all top rate. He can handle rowdy kids in a spontaneous and funny way. This was a show no one will ever forget. Thank you Phil!
Children’s Party Magician, Ventriloquist
The show was amazing and all the children were engaged! The interactive parts were the best! I'm an educator and I was so amazed at the learning that took place along with the entertainment. The adults were complimenting the show long after out carnival themed party had ended.
Children’s Party Entertainment, Children’s Party Magician, Comedy Magician, Ventriloquist
everyone had a great time! my 3-yr-old kept saying he wants "to go to another party" when i put him to bed last night after the magic show, and even my husband said he had a great time!

Phil was very professional and so accommodating to our requests. Well worth, Would definitely hire him again. Thank you Phil!
Ventriloquist
We’ve invited Phil to our company Family Event , needless to say our tow halls are not equipped with anything entertaining , but Phil has everything with him; within a few monitored he had a stage set up with background and all other things to make you feel you’re at the theatre/ show place. And certainly the performance itself has attracted kids if various ages and parents too; It was amazing ! Everyone shared how great the show was when we were back at work on Monday ! Thank you Phil for bringing lots of fun to our event!
Magician, Ventriloquist
Great job and the kids enjoyed it
Children’s Party Magician
Seriously! This was an amazing event for us! Phil contacted us well before the event to touch base and even let us know that he was on his way the morning of the event! Great communication. He and his Wing Nut arrived ahead of time to set up and to ensure everything was ready to go. Phil was engaging and entertaining - he involved the children at every opportunity. Our Shyest student participated and even bowed at the end! He ensured that he knew what the students were learning about (Puppets) and made sure to incorporate this information into his performance. Thank you, Phil and Wing Nut! This will keep the kids talking for days!!
Ventriloquist
It is rare to have such a collection of talent in one show. But Phil pulled it off and the kids had an absolute blast! Even the parents enjoyed all the entertainment. We would hire Phil and Wing Nut again...and again.
Great party. Kids enjoyed it very much. Lots of fun and laughter.
Children’s Party Magician
Phil was professional and arrived on time. Very skilled ventriloquist with several puppets in the show. Performed for a nurses week dinner at my hospital.
We invited magician and ventriloquist Phil Nichols to our elementary school’s “end of the year” celebration. He did an amazing job for our event. Not only the students loved him but he kept the parents’ attention as well. Since it was a PTA-funded event, we needed someone to fit our budget and Mr Nichols is very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!!!
Perfect show for kids and adults, excellent performance and service overall ... highly recommended
Children’s Party Entertainment, Children’s Party Magician
Phil was great, we had an audience of different ages and everyone loved him. He mingled with everyone with the audience in small groups and then did 1 big show and it was amazing. We will definitely hire him again for another event.
This was the best gospel magic show ever! Phil did an outstanding job entertaining our kids. We enjoyed the way he incorporated the message of God's love and doing his will into the show at a level the kid's could understand. Highly recommend him for children's church!!

Phil entertained both children & adults as he dealt mostly with the children to the delight of the adults. Great ventriloquest with a good attitude, & I was especially appreciative of his kind spirit & politeness. Very easy to work with & has his own setup, and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend him.
Mr. Phil Nichols exceeded my expectations in entertaining my daughter’s birthday party with kids ranging from 1-16 years old. Hire Mr. Nichols now, your guests will be impressed!! His rate is affordable too!
Children’s Party Magician, Ventriloquist
This entertainer was fantastic! We booked him on short notice for our cub scout event and he was awesome. He worked us in to a very busy schedule and had kids and parents laughing the whole time.
His pricing was extremely reasonable and our families all loved the show. I would definitely book this person again or recommend him out to others.
Children’s Party Entertainment, Magician, Ventriloquist
When Phil arrived, not only was he extremely courteous and professional, he was a true joy from the very start!! The backdrop and setup was wonderful! The quality of the show, from his props, to timing, and perfectly quick wit in the ventriloqy was spot on—Truly TOP-NOTCH QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT! He entertained a crowd of 200 people that ranged in age from 2 years old to 92! Everyone, and I mean everyone enjoyed the remarkable performance from start to finish!! We will definitely be using Phil in the future and greatly look forward to following his accomplishments as he moves back in to the TV scene!! Thanks again, Phil! You are awesome and were a true blessing to us!!
OH how fun! We had a Friendsgiving event with lots of kiddos and Mr. Nichols was very interactive and entertaining to them! Wonderful set up with great props and even a great backdrop curtain and colorful outfits! High quality sound system and entertainment and the kiddos loved him. Thanks so much Mr. Phil! We truly appreciate you coming out to the ranch to put on a great show!

Response from Phil Nichols Entertainer:
It was so much fun entertaining for you all! Thank you so much for the kind review and having us out!
Mr. Nichols did a guest lecture for the Students at the University of Houston School of Theatre and Dance. He gave amazing insight into the art of Ventriloquism, its history and techniques and introduced them to the art of making his performance partners. He gave an entertaining and informative performance/ lecture that was engaging and thought provoking. The students learned a whole new area of performance that will enhance their studies. Thank you Phil for sharing your knowledge and insight with the future performers and artisans.
Ventriloquist
At the final rehearsal of the live Keys For Kiddos Television Happiness Show at a local church, one could call this Director anything but Happy from the application of Murphy's Law, (anything that could go wrong, did). Had it not been the work of our Lord working through the talents of Phil Nichols and his professionalism, the show itself would have been a disaster. The audience, comprised of adults and children were lifted by the messages conveyed through song, dance and skits. It's amazing what we humans are willing to learn from "Dummies".
Ventriloquist
Mr. Phil bills himself as a celebrated Ventriloquist, and he is right to do so! He is a fantastic performer, puppeteer and master of the ventriloquial (yes, that's an actual word) art!
His show was the highlight of my New Year's Eve event! He tailored his material to be specific to my event and guests. It was a riot! He did so many illusions and specialty tricks in addition to the comedy routines with his puppets! It was a lot of bang for the buck!
I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Phil or use him again!
