I met John years ago while I was at a party for a friend. His act was so amazing, so funny and most importantly...So Memorable that I didn't have to think twice to get his info to book him, even years later, knowing I needed some sort of entertainment for my kids communion. John, himself, was not available at the time of booking, so he offered another member of his team. I initially thought to myself, was I going to get that same memorable amazing act. Well, let me tell you something, this Magician Matt that we had for my daughters party was OUTSTANDING! He had a smile on every person in that party (even the babies) from the first minute to the last minute. His magic was spot on, he had everyone engaged from minute 1, he involved almost everyone and had everyone laughing almost immediately. I could not ask for more! So if you are looking to fill some time at your party, I would certainly recommend John and his crew 100X's over! read more

I hired John for a work holiday celebration on December 12, 2018. I wanted something unique and thought it would be a perfect surprise. John was amazing! He blew our guests away! Not only are his tricks amazing and mine boggling, he is hilarious as well which adds to the entertainment. John started out during cocktail hour and mingled well with the guests. He left many of them with their jaws on the floor. After cocktail hour he joined the dining room and perform table to table. He amazed each table and had a crowd cheering and following him to the next table to see more. I will definitely book John at another event in the future. I highly recommend him for any corporate event or personal party. You will not be disappointed. He is truly an awesome magician and entertainer! read more

You must hire JohnRyan for your party! He is amazing! JohnRyan performed for my sons 1st birthday party a week ago and I'm still getting text and calls from my guests raving about him. He not only entertains the children but the adults too. For the first hour, he mingles around tables and entertains to individual groups. As he did more magic the group got bigger because you would hear laughing and hearing WOW from the crowd. The second hour he entertains to the large crowd. We also had a DJ and told the DJ to take a break while JohnRyan entertained. He responded "thank you but I don't want to miss this." Meaning he sat in the crowd and watched JohnRyan. That's how good he is. Don't think twice about it hire him. It's money well spent. read more

THE BEST! I hired John back in 2013 for my son's Christening. Everyone (Adults & Children of all ages loved the show and magic). He had something for every age. Needless to say, for my daughter's first communion in May, 2019 I called John. John put me in good hands with Omar! Omar also works with John. He was amazing too! Patience of a saint, he kept all the kids attention the entire time. They were amazed with all the magic, jokes and bunny. At one point Omar led the cha cha slide with the kids. The adults were left speechless with his table entertainment too. John and Omar were professional, they arrived on-time and most of all ready with a big smile. I recommend them to anyone looking to entertain a party with all ages! read more

I have been a professional DJ/MC in the NY/NJ area for over 15 years. I had the pleasure of working alongside John Ryan's Magic at an event recently and wanted to leave this review. John was extremely professional and easy to work with. His demeanor was pleasant and upbeat. When it came time for him to perform, I decided to sit and watch the show.Boy am I glad I did. He had the audience absolutely captivated for 2 hours straight!!! His mix of comedy and magic was a huge hit and the crowd loved it! If you are ever in need of a magician/comedian be sure to check him out @"John Ryan's Magic" Thanks for listening and Best of luck, Jason DeMarco Instagram @jason.demarco read more

Last May, we celebrated my daughter Abigail's Communion party. Last minute she begged me to get her a magician. A friend recommended John Ryan to me. I called him and he was able to accommodate me. Miguel the Magician was wonderful. He was funny and engaging for both the children and the adults at the party. It was truly the highlight of our party. Just seeing my daughter and my nieces faces were priceless. They loved the show! He was so funny and got all the children involved. He even came with a special surprise that my daughter still talks about- his white bunny! I highly recommend John Ryan Magic and Miguel the Magician- you won't be disappointed! read more

We had John at our company holiday party in Manhattan again this year. It is our second time using his service. He is professional and puts on a 5 star show. Throughout the night he smoothly moves through the room performing intimately for small groups and amazes our guests with his tricks. None of his performance is cheesy or corny. There are no dry tricks you might have seen from traditional magicians in the past. Both years, many of our guests have texted us the following day and have said 'who the hell was that magic guy at the party last night?... he was incredible!' Def recommend! read more

John Ryan is the best! Just last week performed strolling magic at my wife's birthday party in my home and he was, as always, fantastic! I can't count (honestly) the number of times I have hired John for parties. But it must be at least 10. Everything from my daughter's 7th birthday, my wife's birthday and my mother's 70th birthday to corporate parties and dinners attended by my colleagues and clients. I know John will always perform amazing magic and get lots of laughs too no matter what type of crowd. Hire him! John will be great! read more

This our 3rd time using John - a birthday party and two corporate events. He knows just what to do. Our backyard birthday party was for 90 year old with a mixed crowd of all ages. Our work events were a BBQ and a Cocktail Buffett. There's a great feeling when you host a party and you see people laughing and engaged right from the beginning. John is a lot of fun and a real professional. I would recommend him for any kind of event - so much fun! read more

Then he was my Dj as well and played games and was so fun!! He performed a magic show for the kids and held their attention through it all. He even did balloons!! He was truly awesome and I recommend him 100%!! One of a kind magician!! read more

The first time I had John do a magic show for my twin boys 8th Birthday. It was a big hit then that I decided to do again. A little skeptical cause my twins were celebrating their 13th Birthday (teens) John sent one of his assistant Jonathan . Jonathan was awesome with teenage kids. Kept them interested & entertained. And adults in the room were impressed as well. Great job! read more

I was recently at a Communion party which had John Ryan's Magic as the entertainment. He truly has a gift. Kept the guests big and small entertained from the minute they walked in the room.
