St. Barnabas in Falmouth was the first time in 68 years I have ever been fooled by a magician! Quite an achievement for such an engaging young man.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Ryan made our daughter's special day filled with laughter and fun! He's dynamic, smart, and delightful. We couldn't have asked for anything differently. The children said that they'd like to see Ryan again next year. The parents present expressed that Ryan was great. We highly recommend Ryan! He's awesome!
Magician
Ryan's visit to Our Lady's Academy in Waltham was enjoyed by all! The children loved his show, especially how interactive it was. So many of them had the opportunity to go up and assist him with tricks. He had a very warm, patient and friendly personality. We look forward to welcoming Ryan back to our program, again!
Magician, Mentalist
We hired Ryan as a walk around magician at our office party. He had a low key approach and did amazing tricks for a handful of people at a time. Really added to the party and engaged so many attendees. Lots of positive feedback from all the people who attended! Highly recommended.

Ryan held the attention of all our birthday guests (age 6-8) and was the highlight of our daughter's birthday party. Excellent communication, perfect show and highly recommend Ryan!!
Children’s Party Magician
We hired Ryan for a brother and sisters birthday party (ages 8 an 5). He was excellent with the kids and the adults. Audience participation to make the kids feel special. The show was magical, funny and very entertaining. Ryan was very professional and very good at answering any questions we had leading up to the party. He arrived on time with everything he needed for the show.
Highly recommend him!!
Magician
Ryan was amazing through the whole process. As this was the first time using this service I was not sure what to expect.
Everyone at the bridal shower thought he was fantastic. Thanks again Ryan
Magician, Mentalist
Ryan was great with the small group of kids at my daughter's birthday. The self-deprecating humor sometimes flew over their heads (5 year olds), but they still all enjoyed it.
Children’s Party Magician, Magician
Since the moment I put out feelers for a magician, Ryan was A+++.
His communication was so great. Answering all questions I might have had and offering all the info I didn't even think of.
On the day of the party, he Promptly showed. Was set up without incident.
When it came time to show time OH MY GOODNESS!!! Ryan was AMAZING. He was so absolutely amazing with the kids. Put on a show worthy of a stage. Children and adults alike LOVED every min of it.
Will definitely recommend him to EVERYONE and will definitely hire him again!!!!!
Kids and parents loved him! He was a huge hit.
Magician
So responsive, so engaging. Ryan was as great as he was the first time we worked with him before. Thanks!!
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Ryan arrived a few minutes early for set up to celebrate my grandson's turning 12. He conspired with the kids from the beginning. The magic was done within feet of the audience and this age group were not shy at shouting out how they thought he'd "cheated," Ryan kept the entertainment moving and involved the kids as assistants along the way. The 5 adults and the 5 kids all thoroughly enjoyed his magic and we marveled at his slight of hand. Five star performance.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Ryan was an amazing addition for my son’s birthday party. He engaged the entire audience and really created an interactive show that made the kids laugh and question everything!! Thank you Ryan, you’re so talented.
Children’s Party Magician
Ryan did an EXCEPTIONAL job at my backyard party. The guests loved that went table to table and crowd to crowd so everyone got to see some magic up close and be involved. It was great to not have to get all the guests to sit still for a "show". The guests were totally entertained. My only regret is that I didn't have him stay longer!
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Ryan entertained and engaged our guests ranging in age from very young to adults, there was plenty of audience participation which was hilarious! Ryan is charming and his show was the highlight of my husbands birthday party. Thank you Ryan!
Comedy Magician
My 8 year old loves magic and we surprised him by hiring Ryan for his birthday party. We had no idea what to expect - Ryan did not disappoint. Not only was he responsive and professional, but he also has a great stage presence and wow'd the entire audience (kids + adults). His magic tricks were great and we'd hire him again in a heartbeat! It was the highlight of the party for all of the kids. Thank you Ryan!

Response from Ryan Lally | Magic & Mentalism:
Thank you for this kind review, Lindsay!
Looking for a great family event? Look no further! Ryan put on a wonderful virtual family magic show for our elementary school during the pandemic. He was funny and we loved seeing our classmates "on screen" with him participating in the show. And of course the magic left us all wondering "how did he do that?" Fun for all!
Comedy Show
Response from Ryan Lally | Magic & Mentalism:
Thank you very much for your kind review, Lindsay!
Ryan is so unbelievable! He was able to put a smile on my kid's faces and make them laugh! He is a top notch magician with a wonderful heart. I absolutely recommend Ryan for people of all ages-- he knows how to make everyone laugh and help us experience the wonder of magic!

Thank you very much!
Ryan was punctual, and had a professional presentation.. He was able to engage young children for 45 minutes. He was age appropriate, and kids enjoyed his show.
Children’s Party Magician
Ryan 'delivers'! From ages 23-to-93, everyone of the 18 of us were impressed - and enjoyed Ryan's talents, tricks & personality!

Response from Ryan Lally | Magic & Mentalism:
Thank you John! It was a pleasure to be invited to perform for those closest to you.
Ryan blew us away with his humor and magic. Did no what to expect and got a great surprise . I would tell everyone yes book him for your event.
Corporate Magician
Ryan Lally blew our guests (both adults and 12 year old boys) away with his stupefying tricks. This isn’t a typical magician - the tricks have a mentalist slant and none of us have a clue how he did any of it. To top it off, he’s a kind and personable gentleman and he was the key to our party’s success!
Magician
Ryan, was excellent in every aspect. The booking process was seamless, he was punctual, polite and courteous; and was a wonderful magician that captivated his audience from start to finish for my twin daughters 8th birthday party. I would highly recommend Ryan for any event.
Children’s Party Magician
We loved having Ryan Lally perform at our son’s eighth birthday party he was funny, sweet, and very age appropriate for a group of seven and eight-year-olds, the grown ups even got a kick out of it too! Loved how he involved the children in the audience, they all were laughing and were wowed by the many magic tricks performed! I especially loved the ending of the show as my son was the star of the show and got to perform alongside with Ryan!!!

Response from Ryan Lally | Magic & Mentalism:
Thank you for this review, Michelle! It was a pleasure to perform for your son and his friends!
Westford Farmers market patrons thoroughly enjoyed Ryan's professional talents.
He brings such a delightful and magical experience to his audience - a really nice time for ALL ages.
I saw little ones maybe 3-4 yrs participating (thoroughly), high schoolers as well as mature adults. It was a very successful event and cant thank Ryan for such ability to 'go with the crowd' and work with them! We look forward to seeing Ryan again in the future!

Response from Ryan Lally | Magic & Mentalism:
Thank you for this kind review, Gloria. It was a pleasure working with the Westford Farmers Market!
Ryan was hired to perform for our kids birthday party and he did an amazing job! He had our group of 20+ kids with ages from 4 to 10 laughing and entertained for his whole performance. He was punctual, easy to work with and great with the kids. Highly recommended
Ryan is amazing! I hired him for my son's 5th birthday party. He showed up early and is super polite and professional. The kids and the adults absolutely loved him! I've never seen a group of 2-10 year olds sit so still and quiet for 45 minutes. He kept them engaged and at the end made animal balloons for each child! He's great and I highly recommend him!!

Thank you, Christelle! I had a blast performing for everyone!
Can't say enough about Ryan, showed up on time well dressed and ready to entertain. He was very professional and kept everyone engaged. Did a great job balancing between spending enough time with everyone and making sure everyone that wanted to see his magic did.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Party with 21 kids ages 5-10, kept them engaged and laughing! He was a treat to have perform and a great communicator! Cool magic tricks - wonderful personality for kids! Thanks Ryan:)

Response from Ryan Lally | Magic & Mentalism:
Thank you so much for this kind review, Heidi! It was a pleasure to perform the other day for such a wide age range. The kids were all very polite and interactive. It was a lot of fun for me, too!
We have used Ryan twice for events for our youth organizations. The first time was a walk around magic show and the second was a traditional magic act with a magic clinic at the end for the youth. He is very professional, easy to get in touch with, reasonably priced, very accommodating, and a terrific performer--the youth were engaged the entire time. We will be using him again in the future.
Magician
Ryan performed for our After School program which included about 30 children aged 6 to 12 years. The kids loved the show as did the adults! Many of the younger children could barely sit still they were so excited and enthralled. Ryan invited some of the kids to join him “on stage”. He was kind, gentle and patient with all the children. He uses good humor and his act is definitely family friendly yet not childish. He performed a wide variety of magic tricks which left us all cheering, laughing & wondering, “How did he do that?”
In particular, I was enchanted by his rings trick which Ryan transformed into a work of art with his facial expressions and choice of music.
Ryan is very professional, polite & a pleasure to work with. He showed up early, set up & broke down his set by himself. We couldn’t have been happier with Ryan or his performance. I have no hesitation in recommending Ryan to give a delightful magical show.
Magician
Ryan performed at our son's 10th birthday party and was excellent. He was totally age appropriate, funny and creative. His tricks were entertaining and his act included lots of audience participation which the kids very much enjoyed. I would highly recommend Ryan for future events!
Children’s Party Magician
We hired Ryan for our twins' 6th birthday party. He was great! He was very professional in his communication from the beginning to the end, and I appreciated the fact that he arrived early to set up. He charmed his audience of ~40 kids (ranging in age from 4 to 7) and as many adults, with tricks appropriate to a mixed audience. The magic show is a lot of fun. I highly recommend him.
Children’s Party Magician
Ryan was truly entertaining. The children as well as the adults really enjoyed the show. Seeing my son's face light up was priceless. Thank you for making my son's birthday a memorable one.
Magician
We just hired Ryan for our son's 7th birthday party. Not only was he prompt and adaptable to our very small condo (filled with 20 7-year-olds), but very professional, too!
The caliber and quanity of his magic was just right. And the tone could not have been more perfect -- magic and comedy combined with enough wit and charm to keep the parents happy, too!
And though his illusions were SERIOUSLY impressive, his patience with and control of the absolute mayhem of 20 7-year-olds jumping toward him and shouting, "I know how you did that!" was truly his most impressive feat. I would recommend him for people of any age, not just screaming, crazed, laughing kids!
Children’s Party Magician
The kids had so much fun with Ryan - so memorable.
Children’s Party Magician
Ryan provided a wonderfully funny and interactive show for the kids at the Newton Library. His humor really appealed to the kids ranging in age from about 3 to 11, and they were also very excited to be involved in performing the show along with Ryan. Ryan's tricks were engaging, and the variety very appropriate to the mixed ages. He was professional and kind at all times.
Magician
Ryan put on a fantastic performance which everyone loved. The comedy, magic and communication style were perfect for our group of 1-7 year olds. Ryan was also extremely professional and prompt with all communications leading up to the party. We were very happy with everything.
Children’s Party Magician
Ryan is worth the hire! He showed up early to prepare and set-up. When having a birthday party for young kids it is important to plan for cake, ice cream, gifts, play time. The best parties do not drag on! Ryan started on time and set the rules for the kids right away in a creative and funny way. He kept their attention and made sure to include all the children. He nailed his estimated show duration and even let the everyone know the show was nearing the end. Talented, polite, honest and respectful are just a few words to describe him. His magic speaks for itself.
Children’s Party Magician
We loved having Ryan entertain at our twins' 7th birthday party! Our space was a little tight and I was wondering how it would all work out, but Ryan set up his show in a small corner of the room and the kids loved being up close. We had about 15 kids and quite of few of them got to be part of the act, which they loved, and the birthday twins were the stars of the finale. Ryan did a great a great job entertaining this age group and the adults enjoyed the show, too! We highly recommend Ryan for your n ext party or event!
Children’s Party Magician
Ryan entertained the grandchildren of our residents at Highland Meadows in Weston at our Spring Social. The children loved him, and he kept both the little ones and the adults captivated. It was a wonderful treat to have him as part of our evening. He was funny, entertaining, and magical!
Magician
Ryan lally was teriffic. The kids were so amused by him with the magic show. My child is still talking about it. I would highly recommend him for any event..thanks again, Colleen
Children’s Party Magician
We hired Ryan for our son's four year-old birthday party. He was terrific! He engaged the audience (kids, and adults too!), and the kids loved him. The magic show is a lot of fun, and Ryan works well with kids.
Children’s Party Magician
Ryan put on a terrific magic show for my daughter's birthday party (she's 8). He was friendly, funny, and unflappable (who knew that some 2nd graders heckle!?). The magic tricks were perfectly scaled for a small space, and both kids and adults were impressed by the illusions. I highly recommend Ryan.
Children’s Party Magician
Ryan performed for 65 seniors at the Waltham Council on Aging New Year's party. He had everyone on the edge of their seats. The magic was great, his sense of humor right on target, and he's very sweet. We had a blast.
Magician
Ryan came to entertain about dozen or more kids at our annual charity Christmas and the kids loved him! His set up is very professional (my 9 year old daughter commented, "wow, he has a curtain and everything!") He interacted well with the kids, keeping them engaged and allowing for participation. We were very pleased with his show, his promptness and his professionalism.
Children’s Party Magician
We hired Ryan to perform at our daughter's 6th birthday party and he did not dissapoint! Ryan was able to hold the attention of a group of about 25 little kids which is no easy task. They were laughing and cheering the entire show. He brought excellent props and he was more than professional. We were quite pleased with how our event turned out!
Children’s Party Magician
Last night we had Ryan join us at our opening school picnic. Our students range in age from 3-5 and LOVED the show. Ryan's comical and relaxed style was perfect. The performance got lots of laughs, smiles, and cheers. I think secretly the parents loved the show as much as the children. Thank you Ryan for helping kick off our community with joy and magic.
Best,

Ryan has performed for the Belmont Senior Center 3x, starting at age 15, first recommended by another organization; he did not disappoint! In two years, he's gotten even better! He is funny, poised, and quite skilled. Our seniors totally enjoy his program. Ryan now has a beautiful backdrop as well as recorded music to accompany one of his routines. He's terrific!
Magician
Ryan did an amazing show for a big group of young kids he entertained them for quite a long time making them laugh and have fun including the adults. Very professional and the setup was beautiful!
Children’s Party Magician
This is the third season that Ryan has performed at the Belmont (MA) Farmers' Market. He has honed his craft and sharpened his ability to captivate an audience of children, parents, and unattached adults. This year he has drawn large, awestruck crowds. The kids, who are encouraged to participate in his act, jump up and down in rapt amazement and delight, while incredulous adults applaud. His infectious enthusiasm and showmanship win everyone over. He's been a terrific draw for our market.
Ryan performed as our last piece of "Magical" Family Fun Day ! Dinner and a Magic Show, Ryan was professional, talented and certainly kept the children amused and involved (we had younger aged children under 10) his show worked great with this age group, while keeping the parents interested as well. No Easy Task as our family fun began at 3 with a golf clinic, then golf, followed by dinner and the show at 7:30 pm so I am sure they children were tired and worn out, but Ryan kept them going, will definitely hire again next year.
Magician
It is very apparent that Ryan loves doing magic and entertaining folks. At our event he worked quite well with some small children. He was patient with them and they were pleased. As he continues to hone his craft, I am sure that more and more people will appreciate the work he puts into the program.
