We absolutely love watching Anthony perform! Over the past year, we've followed him to a variety of shows, and every performance is full of surprises. From live animals magically appearing and disappearing to cutting his assistant into thirds, Anthony never disappoints. He's not only an incredible magician, but also super friendly and engaging always involving the audience and making kids feel like part of the show. As a mom of a 7-year-old who is now completely addicted to magic, I can honestly say Anthony has been a huge influence on my son's passion. I highly recommend him for your next party or event! read more

Anthony's tricks were amazing. His audience interaction was great. His entire act was equally as funny. I don't know if anyone in attendance was any less than impressed. We all left after the performance with great big smiles. read more

We hired Anthony for a private party for my husband's retirement. Our guests absolutely loved the show. He engaged several of the audience members, including my husband in a fun and respectful way. We are grateful that Anthony didn't bring up controversial topics as we had guests of varying political and religious affiliations. Thank you again, Anthony, for a wonderful show. read more

Very entertaining and funny and we left scratching our heads wondering how in the world did he do that?' Highly recommend!

This is our second time seeing Anthony's majic show at Tom's farms. Anthony has the best majic show I have ever seen. The majic he does is absolutely amazing. He's friendly and welcoming, funny and just a good kind man. His assistant, needs to go. cocky and arrogant. The last Anthony show we saw had a much younger assistant. She did what she was suppose to do. Assist Anthony and that's it. I understand Dawn is important to Anthony, at the very least, talk to her and tell her her job as an assistant is to assist. Not voice her opinion to the audience. 5-stars for Anthony 1 for Dawn. read more

The tricks with Doves were great! Those were my favorite. This was an 18+ show at the Corona theater. It could have easily been an all ages show and I would have been more impressed if It had been done with out offering alcohol and pouring the audience shots. I thought the addition of alcohol was unnecessary and over exaggerated. The star Anthony kept drinking from his glass and everyone in the audience was offered a shot of firebal. I didn't see anyone under 21, not sure how that would have worked out. I felt the alcohol addition made it less respectable, at least for me, felt like a backyard party not a professional theatrical performance.. If you need to get the audience "feeling good" there are other ways to do it. As for the magic is was good, the jokes were cute, not to much was left to the imagination but most tricks were executed well. It was definitely worth the $25 ticket. My friends and I had a good time. It wasn't with out flaws, a little unorganized, issues with sound and music time as well as too loud. A little tension and miscommunication between the two, sometikes not knowing whonwas making decisions or incharge. Lots of audience participation, fun to watch, glad I wasn't called on. Probably could have advertised more and packed the house if it was all ages. I would definitely recommend for kids party's and events. read more

I work at a resort where Anthony the Magic appears weekly. This is my unbiased review. He is amazing! He is the real deal! He and his assistant Dawn put on a top-notch performance! The tricks are mesmerizing and the commentary is hilarious! They have such a flare for engaging the audience with they're quick and witty humor, while performing their high energy, mesmerizing illusions. I highly recommend hiring them for your special event or just going out for a night on the town for dinner and a show to catch one of their local appearances. You won't be disappointed! read more

Anthony's show was excellent. He had us laughing and amazed! I really enjoyed the audience participation from both children and adults. It was the best magic show I've ever been to, he can easily have a residency in Las Vegas! read more

Anthony the Magic - Magicians Near Me

I saw this wonderful act last year & it was pure perfection, both Anthony & Dawn have fun personalities & and like to include the audiences in many of their tricks. This year there was an inebriated guest in the front row that upset the balance of the show. It was none of his fault (how can you anticipate that?) but he conversed with her almost the entire show & gave her much unneeded attention. He even started saying, "is this the (name of guest) show?!?" When he could have been entertaining the rest of us, he was having to deal with her trying to make her funny. She was not. Too bad because in spite of this, their magic was amazing!!!! read more

I saw Anthony and Dawn last night. The first act included animals. One of the doves fluttered down to the floor in front of the stage and Dawn picked it up and rushed backstage. Not a fan of exploiting animals to make money. Toward the end of the show Dawn complained about their troubles during Covid. Many people had it hard during that time. Then she got political and you could tell what camp (cult?) she was in. I thought that was in poor taste. You really should try to not offend anyone in the audience. Anthony was awesome! read more

Incredible show! We hired him for a private party, it was the highlight of our weekend. Engaging, high energy and fun- he is incredible! Would book for a party of any size. read more

To say the show was amazing is an understatement. We were staying at the Marriot Shadow Ridge Resort in Palm Desert and had the chance to see this amazing show. I have to admit I was sceptical and thought it would be tailored more to children but I was wronng. Not only was the show amazinng and surprising but the team also engaged so well with the audidence with funny bantor and keet everyone entertained. We are going back again in August and I hope the show is still there so we can share the fun with our friends who are coming with us. I would not miss the opportuity to catch the show wherever they may be preforming. read more

Did myvresearch before booking with him and he has a solid background. Very entertaining duo - Anthony and Donna. Awesome tricks. Great with controlling the crowd (TODDLERS) Parents had so much fun during the show. We highly recommend and have him again for our future events. read more

We hired Anthony for an office holiday party and it was the BEST decision!!! None of the guests were expecting anything but a dinner and his show was the perfect entertainment we needed for the evening. When booking the show, he was very easy to communicate with and responded promptly to my questions. He asked the right questions in order to accommodate our group and theme of the party. From beginning to end, the audience was very engaged and intrigued by all his amazing acts. Anthony and Dawn make a great team and they were very funny and entertaining. The next day at the office, everyone couldn't stop talking about how fun the show was and that it was the best part of the night! I would highly recommend Anthony if you're looking for something special for your party! read more

Anthony and Dawn are professional, personable and totally entertaining. Their magic is exceptional and the illusions are awesome.

Anthony the Magic - Magicians Near Me

The structure of this show needs to be revised and his attitude and "knowing your audience" should be reviewed. Our daughter was sitting front and center of his show, along with dozens of other 3-5 year olds. He was doing his opening dove bit and at one point had a red balloon. He tossed it up and allowed it to float down toward the children and naturally, as most children would, a few few of them stood up with excitement. The assistant tried to get their attention with no luck over the music and the magician talking. This f***ing guy, took the first chance he got, without giving a CHILD the opportunity to do the right thing, to have them removed. NOT A JOKE. He requested that these two toddlers parents remove them from the show. Although Im sure the audience understood, it was embarrassing for us as parents and disheartening. My baby girl didn't understand why she had to be at the back of the show. We explained that she should have been sitting like the other children, but we were not upset with her. It was heartbreaking to hear my baby apologize and still not be able to put her back in the front row of the audience with the other kids. These are children you are dealing with. This guy is mediocre at magic and even worse with children. Maybe he just had an off day. read more

I attended a magic show While Anthony was performing at Luv2Play. This is a indoor play park with children varying in age. Several children are toddlers and of course excited to watch a show, they often stood up and needed a reminder to sit down. Mid show, Anthony stops and asks for the parents of a few exciting children. I thought he was going to make a joke about the children or ask them to sit with parents. NOPE! He asked the parents to remove the children from the show because they could not sit. What grown man, who knowingly offers to perform for children, kicks a bunch of toddlers out because they can't sit still for half an hour. Anthony the magician does. So if you ever consider having a magician at your kids party, don't waste your money or breathe. He's not that great and successfully made at least one kid cry. read more

Such a fun show! Hilarious & even better than we expected! They catered to our unique audience perfectly & kept us laughing & very impressed! read more

Watched his show at the Marriott Newport Coast Villas and it was absolutely wonderful for kids and parents alike!! So much heart, wonder and laughter the whole show. Definitely recommend! read more

My family recently saw him perform at the Welk Resort in Escondido. It was a fantastic show! He was hilarious, involved the audience, and did some wildly impressive magic. So glad we saw this show on our vacation! read more

My family and guest were very impressed with Anthony's show. He was very engaging with the audience, he made my son feel special on his 13th birthday by giving him a Magic trick and letting him be apart of his show/act. Anthony and his assist were very funny and polite, I would definitely recommend him or book him myself AGAIN. Thank you Anthony for making my sons birthday memorable. read more

We had a great experience for our corporate holiday party. The party was in residence, 'Great Gatsby' themed and we loved that the magicians embraced the theme. We had a group of 50 people between the ages of 18 and 40. Every single person was in awe of the illusions - the crowd was filled with laughter, fun and amazement and as you looked around many had their jaws dropped. The show was put together creatively to have energetic moments, comedic moments, and emotional/sentimental moments. We loved how they worked with us to set up the best spot for the show, and recommended how to rearrange the seating. They even started a little later than obligated on their own time because some guests were arriving late and they wanted everyone to be able to enjoy. Our company staff would not stop talking about the show throughout the night and is STILL talking about the magic show! We received many texts from the staff the day after the event to thank us for the holiday party and again mentioning what an awesome show it was. Would definitely rebook again in the future. If you're looking for another element of fun for an event, book now! read more

Anthony and Dawn has been part of my kids parties throughout the years and our guests would always give praises on how good it was! It's always fun, entertaining and he always gives it all each time! Anthony puts his heart on his performance and you can see that through, it's one of his best traits that separates him out of the others! You will never be disappointed! read more

Anthony the Magic was an amazing performer. I have never seen my students so engaged and awestruck. Every trick was effortless. It is obvious that he loves what he does because it shows! Thanks for the show! read more

We hired Anthony the Magician for our joint husband and wife 75th birthday dinner and show. He arrived promptly and set up the show area after we completed dinner and a break. This was a family friendly show and he spent some time with the kids. They were mesmerized. The show started with flames that became a bird. That got everyones attention. The show continued for 45 and he pulled my wife and myself into two parts of the show. He ended with a great finish. I've seen illusions from back in the theater audiennce but this time it was 10 feet away and its still baffling. Well worth his fee. Better than just close up card tricks. read more

We just caught his show this evening. I had no idea what to expect but he is absolutely an unexpected and spectacular talent! I especially loved his connection with the audience! The audience was made of mostly kids and their parents but we were laughing hysterically at pretty much all of his jokes and yet the kids were entertained as well. His personal stories merged into each of his acts made the experience so much more. I don't want to reveal too much, but I would definitely attend another one of his shows. Amazing!!! read more

This is not a review of Anthony's skill or art as a magician. After all, I hired him because of his excellent reviews. This one star was earned because of his inflexibility in Covid times and the fact that I cancelled my booking in November because I learned, soon before his performance, that he, and his assistant, were unvaccinated. Since my whole family would be present, including people over 80, I cancelled the booking. Yes, I knew his deposit was non-refundable, but in these extraordinary Covid times, with an unvaccinated performer, I thought there would be flexibility and ethics and a simple return of my deposit. My reasoning is, if you perform before the public, in intimate settings, you have a responsibility to your paying public, to be vaccinated before appearing amongst them. He refused to refund my deposit, and for that ethical inflexibility, he earns one star. read more

Anthony the Magician was great! Our cub scout pack needed a live virtual show for our digital pack meeting and he delivered an interactive experience! Anthony and Dawn were accommodating and personable. We even had a sound check a few days prior to make sure the digital experience was perfect. The families all enjoyed the show! Thank you, Anthony and Dawn! read more

Great show! We hired Anthony for a Halloween block party and all our neighbors were amazed at the quality of the show and advanced magic tricks. The whole show was well themed and synced to music. Anthony was great showman and great disposition with kids and adults. We loved how he included our guests in the acts. Donna, his coordinator was pleasant and ease to work with. Prompt and professional, we will use again. Trisha and Kyle Heppenstall read more

I wasn't going to say anything until I read Anthony the Magic's response to one of the parents. I was also at the show at Luv2play. Anthony the magician is full of it! All of us parents looked at each other bothered by him removing the two little ones from the show. Not once did they tell him "no". And he did not give them the option to sit with their parents. They could have announced something at the start of the show. They could have asked all the little ones to not sit in front. They could have asked the parents to come and sit with their children if they were sooooo much trouble. But he didn't. Anthony the magician said "these ones can't sit down so whoever's kids these are can you come remove them". I felt horrible for them. They sat the whole time waiting for the show to start and then the music plays and they start to dance, were told to sit down and they sat. He tossed a balloon over the kids, a bunch jumped up to hit it and he snatched it away and gestured for them to sit, and they all sat down. He literally stopped the show to remove them. And the next trick he did was with an adult and a tissue that turned into a flower... super dangerous! He looked bothered the whole time but what do you expect when you opt to perform at a kids indoor play place with 40+ toddlers. No, they aren't always going to be quiet. No there aren't always going to sit still. But regardless I'm thankful they were too young to pick up on your irritation and rude disposition. read more

Saw this for a training today and I was touched how Anthony included a personal touch to his tricks. Amazing show and it just basically set the energy for the rest of the day. read more

My Family and I just went to see Anthony the Magic at the Welk Resort. This show was both funny and tender. Wonderful illusions, great audience participation and wonder magic tricks.
