Shared the same venue address with catering/photographer/this senseless lady and all my friends. Everyone except this person found the address. She was supposed to be at my party by 1PM , at 1:20PM she said not able to find the entrance for the venue and all she said was "I'M SORRY". Tried calling/texting/voicemails and got a response for none. AWEFUL PERSON . she ruined my party. If she denies any of this happening, I will add a screenshot of the discussions. Here are pics showing I messaged and called... Things don't go as planned all the time but if it happens on your big day, it will be aweful .

I ordered a Dora character, and she was 45 minutes late, when she arrived, her costume was wrinkled and dirty. The children were not engaged by her, and eventually I had to ask her to switch to her magician costume and carry on with that part of the show. Her cd player did not work, but luckily there was a sound system as the venue. It was a HOTT MESS. Then I received a threatening email. I was sorely disappointed, and felt bullied.

She didn't allow me to ask my questions and the website didn't have clear pictures of the belly dancers.

I would not use this service because my inquiry about the service was a terrible experience! The price of $150.00 wasn't reasonable for 15-20 minutes! I don't recommend anyone using this service and doesn't even deserve 1 Star!

We hired her for our annual summer party to entertain the kids and she did a great job with them. She made the girls look like fairy princesses with face paint and glitter. She painted unicorns, rainbows, super heroes, you name it and she did it. But it was the adults that were literally lining up to get painted! She did an Avatar, Misfit logo, glow in the dark skeleton, the US flag, arm tattoos, henna, the Chicago Bears, everything. She was supposed to be there for 2 hours and she stayed for 5 hours. Allison was the hit of the party and we're hiring her for next year. She was simply amazing!

We attended Trickery on Saturday 04/18/26. Aaron was adept at working with a diverse audience to…read moreinclude them and maintain control of his performance in a very intimate setting. Because it's BYOB you'll get the 20-somethings that feel they have to get loaded beforehand and then act the fool while attending (do you hear that "Neil"? No one wants the focus on you acting like it was your first experience with alcohol) but Aaron was skilled at bypassing them without causing tension or escalating bad behavior. Aaron's attitude is one of someone who has worked hard to make this little venture work, and he deserves respect and recognition for his obvious commitment and work ethic. His act included variations of tricks performed by other magicians, with his own twists. He is an expert at sleight of hand and distraction, which is considerably more difficult in a room about the size of an average residential living-room. He had an appropriate sense of humor aligned with an audience coming to Boystown, an overtly gay neighborhood in Chicago (if you're not familiar). However he wasn't garish, flaming, flamboyant, or offensive; he managed a perfect balance of innuendo humor and audience engagement without being cheap or ingenuine. The snarky one-liners will likely go over your young kids' heads (although bring them to an early show, your 9 year old doesn't belong in Boystown at 10 pm on a weekend), and he carries himself with class avoiding the use of profanity or graphic terms. Again, I can't overstate that his tricks were amazing, impressive, and captivating - as magic should be. You leave the show shaking your head and wondering how it's done - which truly makes it "magic". You would be hard-pressed to spend $36.36/person for an hour of live entertainment that can match Aaron's performance. Pro-tip: If you're driving there you will need to use an app to reserve parking, as there aren't garages like downtown Chicago and every street is filled with so many signs there's no way you will return and find your car not-towed or not-ticketed. Chicago does this on purpose to generate revenue; you'll see "street cleaning" on Tuesday from xx hour to xx hour, no parking when snow is over 2 inches OR any time from Dec 1 through April 1, loading zone, 15 minute stopping/standing with flashers, no parking, residential permit zone only, bike lanes, bus stop restrictions, etc. If you find street parking and think you've beaten the system, think again. Nobel Prize Laureates, Rhodes Scholars, Ivy League PhDs, Mensa members - you can meet them all at Chicago Central Auto Pound retrieving their vehicles. Stephen Hawking couldn't drive, but if he could and he parked in that neighborhood all the quantum mechanics in the world wouldn't make his towed car reappear from the Chicago Parking space-time continuum. The nice thing is if you do reserve parking and give yourself enough time you can walk to many, many restaurants and bars in the area that are open even after the 10 pm show ends. Thank you Aaron for a wonderful experience, you made my wife's birthday memorable for both of us.

Space is small (only about 4-5 rows) but we loved how close we could be. I've been to Chicago Magic Lounge up in Andersonville but I loved how intimate his show was and his was a LOT more affordable. Whole thing was really cool and funny. I wish more people knew about his show, check it out if you can!
