Sage entertained at a large family gathering celebrating a birthday. He was prompt and prepared. Ages ranged from 4 years old to seniors. He kept all amazed and laughing. He involved all to everyone's delight.
We would have Sage back again.
Sage was amazing and very professional. We had a wedding reception with 100 guests. Sage began his performance right after the ceremony and continued through the reception dinner. Sage significantly contributed to the party atmosphere. Gave our guests something to enjoy and laugh about, which helped even the shy people enjoy the conversation. Arrived on-time and acted appropriately and respectful throughout. Everyone had good things to say afterward. Thank you, Sage!

No one would have known we approached Sage with such short notice. He came into the office and gave the group a wonderful magic show. We asked to keep the act squeaky clean - I know... boring. However, he still put a lot of great energy into his act, and engaged the audience often to keep them engaged.
Response from Sage:
Thanks Lyndi, I had a great time entertaining the boss and staff while also gifting him his first million!
Just Sage is absolutly great! Energetic, engaging with the party goers, a real asset to any party. I hired him as a stilt walker for my daughters 16th BDay party with a circus theme. He really helped get the shy kids up and dancing engaged the kids to keep them entertained and awed at the way he could dance on stilts. This guy is a must for any party!!!!!
Response from Sage:
It was a pleasure to share my stilt walking/dancing talents for your event, I appreciate you in choosing me to help take your party to great heights while adding to it's success.
We booked "Mavis" for our Halloween party. Our customers loved the magic and were thoroughly entertained by his personality and jokes. He was very professional, and we plan to use him in the future. We want to experience some of his other characters!
Response from Sage:
It was a great time indeed! It was nice seeing the patrons and staff dressed up in costumes while also accommodating of my character "Mavis's" banter with magic. He was well received and your were fun to work with, thanks!
I was in search of someone that would create a show themed around my event and found Just to be more than willing to accommodate my needs. His show was very interactive and hilariously entertaining, and I look forward to utilizing his skill and talents again.
