The Magic Entertainment of John Gardenier

Excellent time had by everyone, especially our grandson

John entertained and mesmerized his audience for the entire show. His personality and love of what he does shows in his smile, jokes and quirkiness. His tricks were fun and entertaining and of course magical. Our community loved having him share his wonderful talents with us. Looking toward to seeing him again in the future.

John was absolutely delightful to have at our child’s birthday party! He was on time, friendly and able to make all the kids and adults smile and laugh, even my preteen and teen guests! His magic tricks amazed us all. The kids were also very impressed with his balloon animal skills! We highly recommend him!

Loved the magic John provided for our party. Really worked the crowd well and everyone loved him. Only wish I hired for longer!

John was amazing! He engaged the children as well as the adults. Had many great illusions and jokes. I would definitely recommend to others and hopefully we can have him back next year.

Very entertaining for both kids and parents! A great hit at the party. John was easy to work with.

Overall, John was a thorough professional, was punctual, performed various tricks, was very good with the crowd, and made us all laugh. Thank you.

Thank you John for a fun packed 45 minutes of excellent magic tricks and interaction with our guests. You were a hit tonight.

I work in a retirement community and hired John Gardenier as a magician to come perform on Halloween at our community. We had an event with children of our staff and residents. Not as many people came, but John's performance was a huge hit with those who stuck around. HE was very engaging, and gave many children a chance to be part of the act.

John provided “walk up magic” during the cocktail reception of our fundraiser. He was very easy to work with on the lead up to our event. Just the right amount of communication. He was perfectly on time (even a little early) and required nothing from us to do his job. As an event planner, this is exactly what I want from a hired entertainer. I only wish I had the time to observe some of his magic!

John was amazing at our daughters 6th birthday. Kids were laughing non-stop and he was engaging with kids throughout the whole show. Highly recommend John :)

John did a great show for my 8yr olds birthday party. Had the kids watching in amazement and laughing. He even had myself and other adults trying to figure out… “how did he do that!?” What a great magician and a great guy. We would gladly recommend him and even have him back in the future. Thank you John.

John’s highly entertaining performance not only attracted the kids, but also the adults. He made the show so funny that kids and adults never stopped laughing. Highly recommended!

John performed at my son's 7th birthday party. The children were enthusiastic about the magic, laughed and enjoyed every moment!
John arrives on time, very organized and kind and it was a pleasure to have him! I highly recommend him!

Everyone enjoyed the show as John kept them laughing and impressed with his magic skills. He added so much to our event and I know others who attended were looking to book him after watching his performance.

John was a great entertainer! He was very professional and our residents loved his magic.

John was the utmost professional and added magical flair to my cocktail party. He walked around and engaged my guests and they all enjoyed his cool tricks. He was entertaining and funny and his walk around magic was the perfect ice breaker at my party. John was suave and seamless with his magic and I look forward to working with him again at another event.

He was professional, funny, entertaining.
Staff and residents loved him!!!’

John was super fun and entertained our students from age 2-5! Not a dull moment in his show, and every child went home with a little something to show their parents!

The performance took place at a community campout and everyone loved it and had such a great time! Thank you so much!

John did an amazing our guests at our Anniversary Party. We recommend him highly.

My son is intrigued with magic so I knew I needed the right person to make his day special so after inquiring a handful of other magicians I hired John and am very happy with my selection. He was kind and friendly, great with the kids, made us all laugh with his humor and left us amazed by his tricks. I highly recommend!!

We hired John for our wedding and he was great at wondering the room and wowing people with his tricks!! He was so kind and just made those he talked to feel happy.

We hired John Gardenier for a child's birthday party, ages between 4-8, and the parents. The show was amazing! He kept everyone captivated (children and adults alike), and his humor and personality are great! I would love for him to perform again at another children's or adult party! I highly recommend his show.

Such a fun show! Our residents loved it. John was very professional and he even came early to set up. I have nothing but good things to say and would book him again 100%

The kids and the parents enjoyed the magic show at the park for my son's birthday party! It was a great afternoon :)

John did a wonderful virtual performance for our online senior training/social site. He had the proper setup for a virtual magic show. Our clients really enjoyed the show. John was well prepared and easy to work with. Thanks for a wonderful performance! Donna.

I hired John for our annual company holiday party. John was amazing! He had everyone's jaw's on the floor. He did some card tricks beforehand with the small group that was at the party in the beginning and then proceeded with his show once we had a bigger crowd. He was easy to communicate with and did a fantastic job! Stop what you are doing and hire John for your party or event!

John was amazing - engaging, funny and overall professional. We had a crowd of all ages and we were ALL wow’d. He was punctual and has a very good act!

John was amazing!
Kids loved him at our Hanukkah event.
He made sure every kid got a balloon and he kept the kids sitting nicely waiting for their turn.

John entertained my Friendsgiving guests (kids 1-9 years & adults). He had excellent communication prior to the party, arrived early and started his show right on time. Everyone was so enthralled with his magic! I loved that each kid was involved in his performance and some of the adults too. He had everyone laughing with his sense of humor! John even stayed after his show to give each kid their own magic trick to take home, which was a big hit. Thank you John for making my party extra special!

The reviews were true. John did a fabulous job. Keep the kids and adults completely entertained. Best decision to hire John for my childs 10th bday party, he was a hit!!

Our grandson loves magic so we hired John to perform for his birthday party. John has a fun sense of humor so not only did the kids love the magic, they also laughed and giggled at the joking. John easily engaged the kids for a very special time. Thanks John.

We hired John for an online corporate meeting and he did not disappoint. There were some technical difficulties at the get-go that only a true professional could navigate, which he did! And once the magic began we all had a great time. Thank you for your professionalism!

John was wonderful! Excellent communication, on time and a very fun show. Would definitely recommend.

The kids (4-8 yrs) and parents all loved John’s show. He was engaging and entertaining and made balloon animals for all the kids. All the kids got a small magic trick to take home too. In booking he was very communicative and arrived early to set up. We are so happy we had him come for my son’s birthday. Thank you John!!

The kids had a good and fun time with John last evening. Thank you John!

The children as well as the parents liked the entertainment a lot. After the show, parents asked how did we find John Gardenier, the Magician, and we happily recommended GigSalad. John is very kind, everybody enjoys his show, children were also participating in the magic, and more. The parents were very happy to see their children participate in the show. It was an excellent show for the children and parents in our daughter’s birthday party. Therefore, we kindly recommend to hire him for entertainment events.

We were outdoors. Wind became a nuisance but John overcame the nuisance and diligently entertained our group of around 30 people. The acts are simple tricks well performed and always with laughter and fun. There are a couple that leave us wondering how it was done. John was prompt and accommodating and surprised us with his patience in making balloons for the children at the end. I’m glad we booked John. The price was fair and the act was just the thing for our picnic.

My guests loved the show and even though there were more guests- in a different age group than expected, he was a crowd pleaser, and very accommodating! Would definitely use again.

John was a total hit for our son’s birthday party. From our very first interaction he has been prompt with his communications and very easy to work with. He came on time and was ready for the magic show with props, sound system and podium. Very professional. Best of all, the kids absolutely loved the show. My son said the show was the highlight of his party! I highly recommend John!

I highly recommend John Gardenier, his show and professionalism and interaction with the children is wonderful. My son and his friends do not stop talking about their experience with the magician. We absolutely loved it!
If you're in search of fun, memorable and unexpected way to live up a party and entertain your guests, I would highly highly recommend John. We already booked him for our next party.
Thank you John for your amazing show.

Never thrown a party that needed entertainment so I wasn’t sure what I was in for. Booking with John was a breeze and he communicates great.
John is very engaging with the kids, I had age ranges from 1-16, my husband and some of the parents watched as well lol. Everyone was very entertained and enjoyed the show. They most definitely enjoyed the balloon animals which was such a good addition to the show. Will definitely recommend to all family and friends and anyone looking for entertainment. Thank you John for your professionalism, your craft and helping make our daughters first birthday a success!!

John is an absolute delight! I booked him for my husband's small socially distant outdoor birthday gathering this weekend. We had a blast with John! He's such a ray of sunshine. His show had everyone mesmerized, laughing, and fully entertained. He made the day so special! I was between a few choices and I'm SO grateful I went with John.

John is great to work with and very professional friendly and reliable. It is also very beneficial that he offers Virtual Magic Shows for these times. Whether you are looking for a children's party magician or a corporate magician in the Bay Area, John is your go to!

He was amazing. Dealt with a crazy crowd but everyone loved him

John was so entertaining and kind. He traveled far and made our birthday celebration a happy occasion. I am very appreciative of this entertainer.

We appreciated the show! The scouts were attentive and engaged, and we were thrilled that we could book for our event. Thank you John!

John was a hit at our company party cocktail hour; a great ice breaker for a corporate event. He arrived on time, had a great sense of humor, engaging and professional, and his craft was amazing! Highly recommended!

Both the children and adults were entertained with Mr. Johns magic!!! We highly recommend his services!!!! Words cannot describe how fascinating and captivating the show was!!!!

What an entertaining show for all the kids at our summer camp! Anyone who can keep the attention of kids ranging from 2-12 gets an A+ in my book! Lots of laughs and kids were still talking about it throughout the day!

We had a company event for employees and families. John showed up early, ready to go. He walked around, worked the crowd and had some truly impressive tricks and illusions. He was 100% professional, engaging and a huge hit. I would hire him again for future events!

John entertained an audience of teens during a high school graduation party. The kids had a great time and was talking about his magic even after the event. John is professional and a great entertainer!

John's show was awesome. He is very professional and fun for the whole family. Everyone enjoyed his show and will highly recommend him for future events.
Thank you, John!

John came out to our school and did an hour-long assembly. He appealed to all the elementary students k-6 and the teachers. Highly recommend!

The kid and adults were laughing and having fun. The kids were focused and cooperative with the show.

John was great! Kids has a good time!
He came well prepared and was on time (actually early)!

John was absolutely amazing at our firm holiday party this year. He's an amazing illusionist and interacts well in a business-party type atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We hired John for my son's 6th birthday party. John gave a great show that entertained the kids and had everyone laughing. Booking and logistics were uncomplicated and John was communicative and professional throughout the process. Entertaining for kids and adults alike. I would highly recommend John Gardenier. Thanks John!

Great experience! Second time seeing his performance and was pleased to see a different show each time. Very talented magician for all ages.

John arrived early to set up and was very professional. He preformed a great show and was very reasonably priced (well worth the show). Everyone who came enjoyed the show including the adults.

John did my son 7th birthday party for us and it went great. He had all the attention of the kid. And they all had a really good time. he provide the entertainment for us on very late notice. And for that we will always be grateful. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

John's performance was well suited for our special needs audience. His humor and magic tricks had everyone laughing and engaged.

John came to our non profit movie night on Saturday March 16th and was a huge hit with our special needs kiddos. He was patient and age appropriate with all of the children and young adults at the event. His act is fast pace so noone was bored and he added silly humor to his wonderful magic tricks that had our audience captivated! We would definitely recommend John to anyone.

John did a show 3/16/13 for a large group of special needs children. As a parent of one of those kids, I was brought to tears with seeing the excitement he brought to them. They laughed, they participated,they were amazed by his magic tricks. It was a great night, John is a wonderful magician.

I hired John to perform at my child's 4th birthday party. There were about twelve kids and sixteen adults in attendance. John did an outstanding job playing to his younger audience while keeping the attention of the older crowd with his tricks. You can really tell John loves what he does and has really perfected his craft. John is an awesome entertainer and was very professional. I highly recommend you hire the Magic of John Gardenier for your next event.

All I can say about John is, "Wow!" Ok, I'll say a bit more...

Like most people my experience with magic has been either watching on TV or as a captive audience at childrens birthday parties. On December 2nd I attended the show at the California Magic Dinner Theater and was happily impressed with the magic of John Gardenier.

John is the consumate professional. He doesn't just go out there and perform magic. He engages the crowd with his hilarious sence of humor and audience participation If you're looking for someone to just run through a series of tricks and illusions, John is not your guy. I've never experienced a show where I laughed as much as I did all the while being frustrated by not being able to figure out how John was able to consistently fool me with his craft.

If you're looking to be treated to a "show", don't go with an amateur, go see magic as it should be shown. Go see John Gardenier. You will be treated to a performance like none other. I really can't wait to go see another show!

I saw John perform at the California Magic Dinner Theater, and was blown away!!! First John came out and performed up close and personal at my table. Everyone was in suspense and mesmerized! After dinner the show started and John had everyone laughing, great participation with the audience and left us all wanting more after his closing trick. I walked away in awe and was wondering how it was possible, then realized it was just a great performance. I would definitely reccomend the show to others and am already planning to attend another show with family and freinds.

I coordinate an after school program, had a magician booked, and the magician cancelled his performance on me w/very little notice. I called John on a Sunday late afternoon, and he called me right back. By Tues., he was putting on a show for my after school kids. What a professional, personable man, who put on an EXCELLENT show! The kids were amazing and laughing (so was I). He's an excellent entertainer, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him! Thank you, John!

I had him entertain 15 kids on a rainy day. He did a great job keeping them rapt and perplexed. All the adults and kids were amazed at his performance.

I recently attended a party where John provided the entertainment. I was so impressed with his show! His magic was awesome and his humor had me laughing the entire time. I'm looking forward to booking John for a birthday party in the near future. His show is a must see!!! Don't miss out!

What an amazing act. We laughed the whole time. How the heck did he get my $20 bill into the inside of a lemon? We will never know. A must see show.

Saw Mr. Gardenier perform at a co-worker's retirement get together. Mr. Gardenier was fantastic! Great slight of hand that had everyone wondering "how did he do that!". The show was a mix of comedy and magic and was a perfect fit for the event.

John's show was amazing! Not only did he keep us completely entertained with his humor, his magic blew our minds. I recommend his show to everybody.

I attended the Danville Village Theater for the Parlor of Wonders Show with my wife. John was one of three magicians that evening and he was by far the best. He was entertaining and humorous for all age groups that were in attendance and his magic was outstanding. I would strongly recommend John for any type of function/event.

I hired John to do a show for my wife's 40th birthday party - which was for adults only. We had about 60 people at the party. John's show was incredible! All the guests at the party were impressed with the quality of the magic show and all were very entertained!

I was introduced to John Gardenier from a coworker who had used his services before. John was hired to perform several magic tricks for my daughter's 5th birthday at a local theater. John was very accomodating to my needs and was flexible with my schedule. There were about 20 young children at my daughter's birthday party and ALL of them were extremely excited with John's magic tricks. John has the unique ability to keep the audience entertained, no matter what age you are. I found myself watching his magic tricks when I was supposed to be taking pictures of the event!!! If you are looking for a magician, look no further because John will be able to give you what you need. I highly recommend John to anyone out there who wants to be entertained and for those looking for that 'wow' factor!

John was a big hit at my daughter's birthday party. He got the entire party invovled and did a phenomenal performance that the children and the adults loved. If you are looking for an awesome magician with a great sense of humor and who is very good at what he does, I would definitely give this guy a call. Thanks John
