“He was a huge hit among tons of judges, lawyers, etc. which can be a hard crowd to impress!”

When planning my law firm’s 50th anniversary party, I knew I wanted a magician to attend. Being that the party was built around adults, I was worried about finding a magician that could appease a crowd of older people and still bring that ‘wow’ factor. Bruce couldn’t have been any better to hire for our party. Our consultation confirmed everything that I had envisioned for him to do for the party I planned. He performed tons of different tricks, had giveaways for people to keep and even came dressed up for the event! He was a total people person and had groups of strangers laughing and fully engaged while he performed. 10/10 recommend!

Walkaround magic at a neighborhood Halloween party

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026

We hired Bruce for our neighborhood Halloween party and he was a HIT! He performed walk-around magic and we were amazed all night. Bruce had great rapport with all the guests and did a wonderful job of including everyone in the tricks/illusions. We now believe in magic! 10/10 would hire him again.

We hired Bruce for my fiancée’s 28th birthday party at our home, and he was outstanding. We had 13 guests ranging in age from 28 to 40, and he was the perfect fit for an adult crowd.

Bruce was funny, engaging, interactive, and genuinely impressive. He did an excellent job involving everyone throughout the performance and had the entire group laughing, participating, and amazed by the close-up magic. The tricks were incredibly impressive, especially because they happened right in front of us.

In addition to being a great entertainer, Bruce was extremely professional. He provided a formal contract and invoice, communicated clearly, arrived on time, and was easy to work with from start to finish.

If you’re looking for a magician for an adult birthday party, private event, or gathering, I highly recommend Bruce. He was reasonably priced, professional, and delivered an experience that our guests are still talking about. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for the party.

Bruce was amazing! We wowed our party of 40 and exceeding my expectations extremely. He was flexible with the type of tricks, preformed outside in over 90° weather, and was able to accommodate my party in under 48 hours per request. He was extremely personable and made a lasting impression on all of our guests. Could not recommend him enough!

We hired him for cocktail hour before our dinner reception at our wedding while we were taking pictures. We didn’t get to see him perform, but our guests RAVED about him and are still talking about him and his tricks! He was very professional with us while planning it all out and also with our guests. I’d definitely hire him again and would recommend him!

Bruce was great! I hired him for my husband’s surprise 30th birthday party. Bruce was flexible as I needed him to come at a super specific time, so it could in fact be a surprise. All the guests (adults) loved the magic and were astounded at his tricks. He was very professional and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Bruce for your next event where you need a magician.

Bruce was awesome! I hired him for my husband’s 30th birthday as a surprise, and he was a huge hit! He had everyone there in awe. There are several tricks he did that we are still talking about and just can’t figure out how in the world he did them. Highly recommended. Thanks again Bruce for making Eric’s 30th birthday one for the books!

Bruce did an excellent job at my recent wedding celebration party as a roving entertainer. There were all ages in our group including children and the magic was geared toward the audience which was very unique. My guests are still in awe trying to figure out parts of his act. Thanks Bruce, you did a terrific job!

Bruce absolutely AMAZED our book club with his magic! We are still shaking our heads to figure out how the heck he did these tricks. Bruce is also a delight to work with, very professional, accommodating, and a wonderful person.

Bruce did an excellent job and all of the attendees found his walk around magic to be fun and inspiring. He even showed me one of his card tricks and I have no idea how he did it. It was lots of fun and helped to make the party a success.

What a wonderful experience and what more could we ask for. I contacted Bruce at Thumbtack and I could not have been more pleased with his reaction and passion. He reached to our home on time and drove us crazy with his creative and lovely presence. everything went off quite smoothly.

He was amazing, a true experience of a lifetime. Bruce was impressively well versed on magical ideas. We enjoyed our weekend so much, we had a quite different Friday in mind… Bruce organized a really nice show (stand and walk around). It was yet another lovely day, an excellent experience all around. I gladly recommend Bruce to anyone need to spend a different exciting quality time.!
