For decades, Godfrey The Magician has been entertaining audiences across the country. Here's what fair managers, school principals, corporate event planners, parents, and others have to say about his shows.
"If my budget was tight and I could only afford one entertainer and my fair had to be a success I would book Godfrey the Magician. Besides his funny magic show he does a great job for us being the voice of the fair."
Godfrey entertained for 18 years at this fair.
"Godfrey the Magician brings joy and wonderment to all who attend his magic show."
Godfrey entertained for 24 years at this fair.
"Godfrey I'm really happy we booked you for a two year contract. Every year you brought back a different show. Everyone loved your comedy and magic."
"The kids and parents love your show. You really know how to entertain families that include members of all ages. I've even seen teenagers that are very much into your comedy and magic. Thanks a lot and we look forward to having you back again year after year."
Godfrey has been entertaining at this festival for 20 years.
"Your interactions and by-play with the audience was always entertaining and fun. Whether it was the children's show in Cap'n Kids World, the comedy shows in our jazz pizza bar, or the outdoor performances at the Bayside Restaurant your magical skills never failed to evoke smiles, laughter and much applause."
"Godfrey, thank you, thank you, thank you! I was skeptical when I first received your promotional materials. I was not sure if my employees and clients would enjoy your magic. This was the most important event of the year for us. You certainly delivered what you promised. Everybody loved you and felt wonderful about themselves and our company. Your positive personality really does inspire and motivate people."
"Godfrey has been an absolute pleasure to work with over the years and is always a fan favorite at our Club. He is incredibly professional, timely, and easy to coordinate with, which makes planning events with him seamless. Our members truly love him and always look forward to his performances.
One of the things that sets Godfrey apart is his willingness to adapt to the theme of any event. Over the years he has appeared as Santa's Magic Elf, a roaming Magic Leprechaun, a Magic Cowboy, and more. He always goes above and beyond to create a memorable and engaging experience for our guests.
The kids especially adore him. It is very common to see a trail of little ones following him around during our events, completely captivated by his magic. He always brings huge smiles to their faces and creates such a fun and welcoming atmosphere for families.
I will continue to recommend Godfrey to anyone looking for a talented, professional magician who brings creativity, reliability, and joy to every event."
"My wife saw you perform and was so impressed that she insisted the Association hire you to perform at our annual Christmas party. Since the party, many of the participants have raved about your performance and have inquired about your services. It is also the consensus of our Association that you did an outstanding job. We hope to have you perform for our organization again in the near future. I would recommend your services to anyone who requires an energetic, dynamic, and riveting entertainer such as yourself."
"Your magic tricks not only blew our minds, but your commentaries and crowd interaction put your performance over the top. The elevation illusion was my personal favorite. I am still trying to figure that one out. It is always hard to find someone that is entertaining, funny and clean, but you were all three."
"Our students look forward to this assembly every year. It is fun and engaging and shares such a great message. Godfrey is wonderful! Recommended for all ages! Thank you so much for always thinking of us."
"Since I heard so many wonderful compliments about your show, I thought I would pass along some of them to you. Several parents told me that their children had come home and told them all about the terrific magician that was at school that day. Many of the children told me how much they liked it, and they talked about it all through the day. The teachers and principals raved about your magic and sense of humor.
The president of our SITE Council said it was the greatest assembly we have ever had — just the perfect amount of everything to entertain children of all ages."
"The students were incredibly engaged and excited throughout the performance. Godfrey the Magician did a great job of holding the students' attention, mixing humor with magic, and involving student volunteers in a positive and respectful way. It was age-appropriate, well-paced, and full of energy."
"I wanted to let you know how much the students at Meadowbrook Middle School enjoyed your show. Anyone that can keep the interest of 300 middle school students for 45 minutes is a magician!"
"The shows were immensely enjoyable for both English and Spanish speaking students alike."
"It was affordable, entertaining, and filled with positive messages! The students loved it!!"

"Godfrey performed a birthday magic show for my 7 year old niece. She fondly remembers all the fun and magic she saw. Today she's 14, and she told me, 'You know magic isn't real. Except for Godfrey's magic!'"
"Godfrey is a dependable person who arrives early and is ready to perform on time. He makes the children laugh. The children take turns being involved in the performance. The birthday child is the star of the show. This was the second time that Godfrey has performed for a birthday party in our home."
"Godfrey was engaging, funny, and extremely entertaining. The kids stayed attentive the whole show and the adults were laughing to tears."
"Even the adults thought you were fantastic! Your whole presentation, with jokes and all, is very entertaining. My 12 year old thought the levitation was 'cool.'"
"Godfrey is very funny, the show is very enjoyable and entertaining! The length of the program is just perfect for little 4-5 year old kids. Valerie says this is the best birthday party she ever has! She wants to do it again next time! Thank you Mr. Godfrey for making Valerie's birthday so special!!"
"Absolutely do it! He was great and the birthday girl got extra attention & loved it!"
"He made my son's birthday even more special."
"He interacts very well with the kids and has a lot of entertainment. He is very amusing as well."
"Godfrey has an outstanding program, not just for our 9 year olds, but it was clean & humorous still for the adults attending! I really appreciated his punctuality, flexibility, style, & would highly recommend him for this age group. Thank you again Godfrey!!"
"My daughter said it was her best birthday she ever had. Godfrey was an excellent choice to entertain the children and even the parents. Everyone had a smile on their face during the entire show. It was great to actually relax and enjoy my daughter's birthday with her. Thanks again? Sincerely."
"Not only the kids had fun but also the adults enjoyed the fantastic entertainment. Godfrey has a certain charisma with the children that he can get their attention and participation. Two thumbs up for Godfrey!"
"I am writing to thank you for your 9 years of magic at Seaport Village. We brought you on to add a sense of spice and wonderment to the Village and you did just that. With your entertaining dialogue and charismatic personality you wooed the crowds at Seaport Village and time and time again. Watching the children stare in wonderment never gets old!
Along with your fantastic showmanship came a real dependability and professionalism that is extremely appreciated! It is easy to book and work with you. We can always count on you to be on time and on point. We were always assured that you would put on a family-friendly, funny and mesmerizing magic show!
We look forward to having you back in the future. Your comedy and magic add that special something to an event."
"As I am sure you understood from our initial conversations, South Coast Plaza has very specific requirements when hiring performance artists for our events — but it only took one viewing of your DVD to show me that you were exactly what we were looking for. And to be honest, when I watched your act before our Santa's Arrival Event, you surpassed everyone's expectations.
The children were riveted and the parents were quiet! (How do you do that and can you tell me your secret?) Everything we asked that you included in the show, as it related to the holiday season, was perfectly executed — and surpassed only by your amazing skill at sleight-of-hand, your comedic timing and masterful ability to involve the audience directly in your show. That honestly was the best part — seeing you work with children who had no idea of what to expect — it was magical! Even the children who had the look that they had 'seen it all before' were amazed — quite an admirable accomplishment.
Bottom line — you are tops at what you do, easy to work with and you deliver what you promise. Use me a reference and promise me you will work for us again."
"Now that the Holidays have come to an end, we'd like to thank you for sharing in Fashion Valley's celebration of the season. Your presence at the mall over the holidays was much appreciated and brought smiles to many shoppers' faces!"
