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. He gave a great message in the end of the performance also, drawing on the themes of inclusion and acceptance from the Harry Potter stories, which the adults present also mentioned as being a highlight. We cannot say enough great things about his professionalism and performance and we would highly recommend him for any event!

Vick had a wonderful story line and great tricks that kept everyone's attention! We had some guests that are very skeptical of magic tricks, and he still blew them away! I'm so happy we had him! We ended up starting his show a little late, unfortunately, but he was incredibly patient, set-up, and mingled with a few guests while he waited! 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!

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 !!!!

Her portraits were good enough that we kept them to decorate our office! She was very talented, taking about 15 minutes to do really funny yet accurate paintings of our "best features".

I booked a party with a charicature artist for 3 hours (to the tune of $555.00 through my party…read moreplanner). During that time, only about 7-8 drawings were done and there were people in line for additional drawings. The artist did not know what the charges were for two more hours but I agreed and subsequently learned that during the drawing sessions with each party, significant time was taken for the artist to try to sell his own personal products to my party guests, and they were all shown a book to purchase. The following day the credit card was charged an additional $370.00 for TWO HOURS without any additional invoicing, and only a total of approximately 12 drawings were done during this 5 hour period. I brought it to management's attention and they told me too bad, so sad. The artist is well liked and they haven't had other complaints. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and extremely disappointing treatment of their customer. They should be embarrassed!
