This is copied over from a special Yelp event review:…read more A brilliant event! Magic over Zoom? Yes, it is not only possible but Adam Stone did it flawlessly. It was far closer to an in person experience than I would have ever imagined. Cheers to Yelp on 16 and picking some great virtual experiences to help celebrate. It would be great to see Adam in perform in person someday! ...back to reviewing here. Magic is not something you would normally consider possible as a virtual experience. The environment is too controlled and obviously you can only see whatever the camera is pointing at which isn't much in a 3D world. However, the way Adam interacts with his audience actually translates across virtual bounds! Thus, like I said above for the special Yelp event review... it would be great to see Adam perform in person someday!

Oh Wow! I would give 10 if I could. It was a Bday party…read morealright ! there was music, some where singing along, some were dancing, and all of us were awestruck by the magic tricks. It was soo much fun and to think Adam was sitting right on the other side of the camera doing tricks right in front of our eyes- am sure Steph was not an accomplice ( or was she ...) - she could not have been since he picked out people from the viewers too ;) First the tik tok, where he had guessed what the lady would start her game with, then the hypnosis, and later the card game, and the money game....wish compounding money was just that easy !!!!! Adam was fantastic and so easy going. Anyone could see a bday friend in him. The best was the Yelp paper cutting he made in the end, which reflected Sweet 16....Wow ! unbelievable. It was very entertaining and a little too much that I carried it to the next day and did not want to work.... I got myself a 3 day weekend in my head ! Magic!! ha ha ha Thank you Yelp and Adam. There was not a single dull moment in th whole hour. I took couple videos but they all got corrupted- maybe Adam jinxed it to keep it from piracy ... again, who says magic does not exist !!!!

The booking process was incredibly smooth, thanks to Nicole's responsive and helpful communication. On the day of the event, Nicole and Spencer were flexible and accommodating, making sure everything played out exactly as we had hoped. Our guests had an absolute blast and were left in awe. Spencer's performance is engaging and interactive. He involved many of our guests in different parts of the show. We also appreciated that it never felt rushed and we weren't hurried out. Spencer and Nicole took the time to chat with our guests after the show and answer our many questions. Whether you're hosting a private performance or attending a regular show, you'll come away impressed not only by the magic but also by the genuine sense of community Spencer and Nicole create during the few hours you spend inside the bar.

The theater is cool and the decorations are all so interesting. I love the history of the family and how he continues on. It's a two person run show, husband and wife. The wife is an awesome bartender. They have a fantastic drink menu but I always order the same thing no matter how much I say I want to try something different. She makes a salted caramel espresso martini that is out of this world. I'm so addicted. They do not serve food but you can bring in outside food to enjoy up until the show starts. Everyone gets involved in the show. I think that's my favorite part. I got pulled up front and was truly amazed by what he did. I mean how does he know?? Treat yourself to this local in plan sight hidden gem. You will not be disappointed but you will be bewildered.

We were so lucky he agreed to drive well outside of his usual area to perform. His illusions were mesmerizing, and he expertly handled a room full of inquisitive and skeptical kids by getting most of them involved in his performance.

We cannot say enough great things about his professionalism and performance and we would highly recommend him for any event!

He then put on a 45-50 minute show for all of us, and included some guests, my father, and us in the show! I highly recommend him for ANY event -- weddings, birthdays (children AND adult), social events, etc. Thanks, Vick!

Short version: Kyle is the single best closeup magician I have ever seen, and 400 years ago he…read morewould have been burned as a witch. Longer version: Kyle performed at my family reunion, for a crowd of about 15. First thing that I noticed: he knew every single person's name by heart within the first 10 minutes of arriving. Just while he was talking to people, sharing a few jokes, setting up for the show. Even before he had performed a single trick, he had charmed every member of my family, even the grumpy ones and even the young'ns, some of whom are usually shy. He was funny, considerate, intelligent, articulate, gracious, patient, and I know he's got a houseful of his own kids and he's worked with young people, and he was just as fantastic with generation A as he was with the Gen Xers and the Boomers!! My family ranged in age from 11 to 78. And Kyle had something to delight every single person there. During the act itself, he invited us to sit up close, and we could easily see every moment, every movement, every manipulation, and he befuddled and befuzzled every single one of us. So in this, Kyle actually defied Abraham Lincoln: he fooled all of my family, all of the time. And Kyle invited audience participation in several of the tricks. And every single trick was an absolute mind breaker. Some of my family members were sitting 2 feet away, and every single person was bowled over by the magic Kyle performed with such craftsmanship and confidence. Plus the guy is funny! A genuinely talented magician, and a fiendishly quick wit. His friendly banter and incisive patter and audience engagement delighted everyone there. If you are looking for the Mozart of Magic, a Prestidigitator par Excellence, an Alchemist of Amazement, a Conjuror of Consequence, the Napoleon of Necromancy, the Sorcerer Supreme, a Thaumaturge of Thinkery, a Wild and Witty Warlock of WOW, the Leonardo of Legerdemain, the Diva of Divination, and... If ever a wonderful wizard there was? Well it was Kyle Purnell. And if you need a lightbulb changed? Kyle is tall. Really tall. Sasquatch tall. NBA D-League practice squad tall.
