“This review is for Magic Evan’s virtual online show, which he performed for my 11-year-old son’s birthday via Zoom. Evan was fantastic, start to finish. He offers great communication, he’s very responsive and professional, and scheduling was a breeze. His show translates well online, and he performed several card and magic tricks that my son says “blew his mind.” I won’t spoil the show but I would highly recommend Evan if you’re looking for a way to liven up your next virtual gathering or celebration. My son says he’ll always remember this birthday!”

“Magic Evan hosted a fantastic virtual magic show for my daughter’s 6th birthday. It was interactive, entertaining and the kids were laughing the entire time. I’m so grateful for him! Despite being home during the pandemic, he offered a great alternative way to celebrate as a group. I highly recommend his services. Thank you Magic Evan!”

“I hired Evan for my daughter’s birthday party and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The show was easy to book. Evan was not only quick at responding to my questions but, also very proactive in helping arrange the best possible party, such as recommending arrival times and suggesting magician themed favors. On the day of the party, Evan arrived early and was very professional. He has a unique skill where he can make a group of children (in this case aged 2-7) giggle nonstop, whilst also keeping them extremely calm. Added to this all of the adults enjoyed his performance equally as much. I can’t recommend Evan more!!!”

“Evan is one of the most creative people I know. He’s a rare combination of an artist and a teacher. He can both teach a valuable skill and wrap it in an entertaining, interactive presentation that makes a truly deep and lasting impact on his audience. Bonus: his energy and positivity is contagious! If you have a chance to work with Evan, go for it!”

“Thank you so much for the magic show today.  It was wonderful and you had many compliments from parents and kids alike after the show.  In particular, we so appreciate you making the birthday boy, Cyrus, feel so special, but also making sure that our older son, Zahaan, was included in the show.  They both loved it!”

-Maddy Batliboi, Parent, Brooklyn, NY


“Magic Evan is truly magical! He came to my house and performed an amazing show in my backyard for about 16 5 year olds. Both the kids and the grown-ups enjoyed the show. Most importantly though, Evan was FANTASTIC with the kids. I can’t say enough wonderful things about him or recommend him enough!”

“We just had Magic Evan at my son’s 5th birthday. He was delightful, entertaining and completely age appropriate. The children were roaring with laughter from start to finish. His magic tricks are excellent, but his gentle tone, keen sense of humor, and ability to read the crowd are what sets him apart. He had the kids eating out of his palm for 50 minutes, which combined a performance and a very special magic lesson at the end. As a teacher myself I was particularly impressed with his management of the over-eager children, slowly inching closer and closer to the performance. Hats off. Well done!”

 “Your show rocked the house! Most impressively, you got my ultra shy 3 year old to smile and even participate – and now he is practicing magic tricks at home!”

– Debbie Nelson, Parent, Brooklyn, NY


 Magic Evan is awesome! His show engaged every child at my child’s party, from ages 2 – 7. The kids laughed a lot, and really took to his calm and sweet disposition! I had told him that my daughter loves Shopkins and he went out of his way to make the show extra special by incorporating Shopkins into the show, even making some magically appear from behind her ear. Evan was so easy to work with. All you need to do is book him and tell him where to be, and he takes care of the rest. I highly recommend him!”

-Michelle Luft, New York, NY

“We hired Evan for our son’s 7th birthday party in Park Slope… I was a little worried about having 18 mostly boys at our apartment but even kept them entertained! The goodie bags were perfect, substantial and one less thing to worry about getting! I received texts and emails from parents after the party saying their kids had a great time and were showing everyone their new magic tricks.”
