Response from Ripley's Believe It..It's Magic :
Thank you Amy. I love any opportunity to work with you and your team. You are a true professional and so good at what you do.
Great magic and great personality, will bring life and energy to your party/event
You will be absolutely amazed at the skill and showmanship that George brings to the table. His personality is shown in his skill and the magic is top notch. My oldest son was lucky enough to be included in the show in which he still has the signed card in his box of favorite things and memories.
I've witnessed RIPLEY'S magic in person, on tv and Social Media platforms... Penn and Teller, WHO??? Very talented and a very good guy!!
George is quite engaging, quite effectively weaving together his stories; all while staying active and moving about the stage. When he ultimately produces “his magic,” you are not even expecting the outcome at that point. Your attention has already been captured and redirected elsewhere! I’d highly recommend George … you will enjoy him!
I had the pleasure of seeing George live in December 2022. I never consider myself a fan of magic but George changed my mind. Multiple times I said “how did he do that?” A very cool show!
I know it's not funny, but George is an honest, funny and amazing magician. His work is "magical". He is a sincere performer and you won't be disappointed.
George is so good, entertaining and fun.
George is so talented! Wowed all of us with his magic! Such a fun personality, too! Highly recommend!
We had such a great time at our Halloween party… Ripley was super entertaining, he spent a couple hours mingling with our 80+ guests and wowing everyone with his close up magic. He even did some special tricks for my daughter and for a friend’s birthday. I only wish I’d gotten to follow him around all night to see everything he did instead of hosting!! We’d definitely hire him again!
Response from Ripley's Believe It..It's Magic :
Thank you for the kind words Vania. I had a blast sharing magic with everyone at your party. Great group of people and a great event. I sincerely appreciate being a small part of everyone’s evening.

For those attending a show, you can expect a fun and unique experience. You will see magic with cards, ropes, coins, borrowed objects as well as mentalsim and mind reading stunts. My shows have a lot of audience participation as well.
For those booking for a private event or corporate event, you can expect immediate correspondence on all details of the event. I like to learn as much as possible about the event and client and customize magic to fit. I arrive self contained with everything necessary to perform. I confirm the event at different stages leading up to it and the day before to give event planners and clients piece of mind.
I have been doing magic for more than 20 years. I specialize in close up magic and have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I also perform stand up/stage shows at colleges and universities. I have a lot of video content on Instagram at @Ripleysmagic which is reprentative of the type of magic I perform. I can also be located on Facebook at Ripley's Believe It..It's Magic and YouTube. I have my own television segment called Magic in the Morning on Fox 43 Morning News once a month. I am based in York, PA and currently service Central PA, South Jersey and Northern Maryland but have performed magic as far as Florida. My approach to magic is unique and fun for everyone. Customization is available for all bookings. All material is family friendly. Magic with cards, coins, borrowed objects and items on location are a staple in any performance.
Performer is self contained with PA system.
Video projection to screen at larger auditoriums/venues to be provided by booking party.
