BusinessWeek

You were a consummate professional

"My image of magic was shattered the night you entertained our BusinessWeek clients.  I had no idea how powerful and sophisticated intimate sleight-of-hand could be.


Booking you added a great touch to our party, and our customers are still talking about how much you added to the "magic" of the evening.  Not only did you add a unique, surprise element to the party, but you were also great to work with.  From our first contact to the end of the party, you were a consummate professional.


Thanks for helping BusinessWeek make a great impression. Our clients are already asking about next year!"

In the recruiting wars of college football, we consider you our secret weapon.

"A note of thanks to you and your staff at CEO for the entertaining assistance you brought to our recruiting season.  When asked what most our athletes enjoyed about each recruiting weekend, invariably your magic show was mentioned as a highlight.  We truly believe that you played a big role in our most successful recruiting year (ranked #1 nationally) and for that we are most grateful.


We look forward to using your services as often as possible in the future.  In the "recruiting wars" of college football, we consider you our secret weapon.


Fight on!


P.S.  Thank, also, for teaching me how to levitate."

Los Angeles Magician

He captivated the audience with his performance

"Zach was hired by JAKKS as a strolling magician to entertain over 400 people.


Zach demonstrated throughout the course of the night wonderful skills as a magician as he captivated the audience with his performance.  He was not only charismatic but funny as well.  He followed direction well and had a great attitude.  It was his enthusiasm and skill however, that made Zach stand out so clearly in my mind as a wonderful addition to our evening.


I would definitely recommend him for any party!"

It was a great icebreaker

"We thoroughly enjoyed your performance during cocktail hour for our event this week!  You provided a way for people who did not know each other very well to laugh and talk with one another; it was a great icebreaker!


Our employees from out of town are still telling me how much they enjoyed your magic and your great personality.


We will certainly consider you any time we have a corporate event."

LAURIE EDMONDSON  //  Office Manager

Excellent job of adapting to our company's culture

"I would like to thank you again for traveling to our winery recently to do a show for the staff.  Everyone really had a great time.  You are a very talented comedian, magician, and performer.  People continued to talk about your show weeks later.  You did an excellent job of adapting to our company's culture and coming up with just the right material for the audience.  You surpassed all our expectations and made us very happy!


I hope we have the opportunity to see you perform again in the future.  We would certainly recommend you highly to prospective clients."

We have had excellent response from clients

"Mr. Waldman anticipated our needs and represented us in an excellent manner with both current and future clients.  His performance as a magician was excellent.  More impressive however was that he was able to convey to every client, in a professional manner, that we were the company sponsoring his performance.


We have had excellent response from clients and would recommend Mr. Waldman's services without hesitation."

You made a crowd appear

"Thank you for performing at The Koreatown Plaza.


From our first contact with you to the end of our event, you were a pleasure to do business with.  It made hiring you a delight.


Our event was intended to increase foot traffic throughout the mall.  Although we had a lot of things happening, there were certain "dead spots" that weren't being reached by the amusements.  However, your ability to gather and entertain an audience wherever we sent you solved the problem.  All we had to do was tell you where we needed help and you made a crowd appear.  I watched a section of the mall go from a ghost town to bustling with customers.  It was like magic!"

MARK CHOI  //  President, JES/The Korean Book Center

Holiday Party Entertainment

You did a great job of connecting with our group

"I wanted to take a minute to write and thank you for your efforts in turning our holiday party into a wonderfully entertaining event.  Everyone I've spoken with loved your magic, as well as your comedy.  You did a great job of connecting with our group, and, like the consummate entertainer, left everyone wanting more.


You turned what could have been a mundane company dinner into a memorable evening filled with wonder and no shortage of laughter.  Thank you for brining your gift to CSC Consulting."

JOHN S. SCHWEISBERGER  //  Managing Director

Los Angeles Magician

I'd rather just believe in magic

"Thank you very much for a thoroughly memorable performance at our company's annual holiday party dinner.  Your close-up sleight-of-hand performances as well as your show were highly complimented by our guests, and I have since overheard many a conversation throughout the rest of the evening (and into the morning at the office!) speculating how it was done.  There were some theories, but they never encompassed the trick in its entirety, and most left the party pleasantly frustrated at not having been able to figure it out.  As for myself, I don't want to know, I'd rather just believe in magic.


Both your humor and shows were clever and tasteful (not to mention your suit!), and left the guests all smiles and ready for the dance floor.  I have no reservations about recommending your talents to anyone in need of stylish, professional entertainment for their gathering, whether corporate, family, or otherwise."

JAMEE DEVLIN  //  Events Coordinator

Los Angeles Magician

Intertwined our message and product

"Thank you for your wonderful display of magic and showmanship at our recent industry trade show.  The tricks were great, but the way you intertwined our message and product was even better.


You had a great stage presence and act considering the space limitations within the trade show booth.  I appreciate your good work and look forward to working with you again in the future."
