Private and Corporate Events Testimonials

You Certainly Delivered What You Promised

"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."

He Always Goes Above and Beyond To Create a Memorable and Engaging Experience For Our Guests

"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."

Tatianna Julien, Member Events Manager, The Santaluz Club

 

We Hope To Have You Perform For Our Organization Again In The Near Future

"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."

Craig Eicher, Pleasanton Police Officers Association

Entertaining, Funny and Clean

"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."

Jeri Lynn Shay, Hecht, Solberg, Robinson, Goldberg & Bagley LLP, San Diego, CA

Greatest Assembly We Have Ever Had

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.

Shopping Center Testimonials

Your Comedy and Magic Add That Special Something To An Event

You Are Tops At What You Do, Easy To Work With and You Deliver What You Promise

"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."

Sarah C. Corrigan, Director of Retail Services, South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, CA

 

Brought Smiles To Many Shoppers' Faces!

"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!"
