We hired Evan to perform for our son's 5th birthday party at a park in West Seattle. I found him by Googling, so I was a bit unsure what we were in for... and we deliberated for a while because of the expense, but when I compared it to what we'd spend on a bouncy house or a kids' museum, it seemed reasonable. And Evan seemed very professional and responsive from the first time I contacted him. He wanted to know about our son and what kinds of things he likes, plus our other son, so he could involve them in the show. He turned out to be wonderful. The kids LOVED it. I was wondering whether the show might be too long for them, but he held their attention from beginning to end, and because he has kids himself, he knows how to tailor the show to their level. It was a delight to watch them surprised by each trick. And he used both of our sons as assistants, as well as some of our son's friends. They all got a kick out of that. And the parents enjoyed it too - one mom wrote me afterward "best bday party ever." It was way more special than going to yet another bouncy house! I highly recommend Evan - you won't be disappointed! read more

We just had Evan perform at our 7 & 9 year old kids' joint birthday party - he was definitely the highlight of the day! In addition to keeping the attention of 30 first through third graders for almost an hour, the adults were entertained as well. Even my older two teenagers - who attended under duress - were smiling in spite of themselves! As a magician Evan is very very good. Two days after the party my kids are still wondering out loud about how he did various tricks, and my 7 year old is convinced that with the help of "the Force" he was able to levitate his 9 year old sister. More importantly, Evan is fabulous with kids. While he was setting up, he engaged with each one of my four, doing a different age-appropriate magic trick with each. During the Star Wars themed show (complete with Storm Trouper costume, etc.) he was funny, interacted with crazy kid comments, and helped everyone enjoy themselves. After his show he hung around for both group and individual photos. It's hard to imagine how the show could have been better. I would strongly recommend him. read more

We hired Evan for our son's 5th birthday party - after discovering him through Googling. Although we debated whether we could afford his show, we decided to spring for it and it was most definitely worth it. We compared the price to what we would have spent on a bouncy house or a kids' museum and it seemed reasonable in that context. And I have to say, he was fabulous. He has kids himself, so he knows how to keep their attention. He involved both of our sons in the tricks, to their delight, and also included some of the other kids as assistants. They LOVED it. It was really special. The parents really enjoyed it, too. One wrote me afterward that it was the "best bday party ever." I had wondered whether his show might be too long for 5-year-olds (much less a couple of 3-year-olds we also had at the party), but they were all mesmerized. And Evan handed out goodie bags at the end - including a trick the kids could learn how to perform themselves. I highly recommend Evan for kids' birthday parties - He really is a pro, and also very responsive and conscientious. read more

Evan did a magic show for my 6 year old son's birthday party. He was great from the first contact-- easy to schedule with, professional and friendly. He clearly is used to dealing with a roomful of kids. We had about 15 kids and 15 adults. I was seriously surprised that everyone sat with complete attention for an hour. Evan was great about including everyone, making it enjoyable for parents and kids and making my son feel extra special. Since the party I have had many of the parents tell me that their kids got really motivated to try magic tricks and their kids told them it was the most fun party they had ever been to. Evan has this awesome backdrop that he sets up in a few minutes that makes you feel transported to a real magic show. He absolutely does an amazing party and I would have him again in a heartbeat. read more

I highly recommend Evan as a performer and as a fundraiser potential for your school. Evan worked with the 3rd and 4th graders at Kapka Cooperative this year to create a curriculum around magic..meeting with the kids in the classroom to answer questions and working off site to create marketing materials, and day of show details. The show was a huge success, with students providing an opening act and Evan doing an outstanding performance- entertaining both adults and children. I can't say enough of how professional, dedicated and enthusiastic he was working with our school. SInce then, many families have contacted him for birthday parties and attend his free show in phinney ridge! We will definitely do it again! Thank you so much Evan! read more

We had Evan entertain for our son's birthday party at our home. He was fantastic! He was super great with the kids during his show and also doing balloons post magic show. The kids were laughing thru the show and the tricks were impressive and he was age appropriate. As a mom I really appreciate having someone easy to work with when coordinating the party, Evan is very professional, well prepared and quick to reply. It is also important to me that the person is really good with interacting and engaging with the kids - Evan was great! I know that sounds obvious but I have had other entertainers that are not as fun or engaging with the kids or difficult to coordinate. I would definitely recommend! read more

Evan came and gave a birthday party magic show for our 5-year old daughter and was superb! He has a gift both for magic and in bringing wonderment out in children. Witty, fun and exceedingly professional, his 45-minute routine was a hit with all. Balloon animals after the show, and the requisite "Diamonds" seemingly pulled out of nowhere and given to delighted children! It was the talk of the classroom in school for several days afterward! What amazed us even more was that Evan took the time to send a letter of thank you to our daughter the following week with some accompanying small magic tricks and resources to find out more about magic in general. Amazing. Can't recommend him highly enough! read more

We asked Evan to perform at our son's 5th birthday party at our home on Queen Anne. The delight and laughter made it well-worth the expense. He left us scratching our heads in awe of his magic. The group of 5 year-olds (and parents) was engaged for the entire 45 minutes, and Evan made sure each child assisted with a magic trick. Evan's talent, humor, creativity and professionalism are first-rate! From the moment we emailed him to find out about the possibility of booking him, he was quick to respond and professional. He showed up on time and was enthusiastically ready to perform! He created a GREAT memory for our family and friends. I highly recommend Evan Reynolds! read more

Evan performed at a birthday party for my seven year old twins and he was wonderful. We had about 35 kids and the same number of adults at the party and everyone loved him. His tricks were very clever and age appropriate - he had the kids howling with laughter at several points and stupefied at several other occasions. I've had many parents tell me how much their kids loved the show and how they all want Evan at their birthday party. I should also mention that he was very professional in setting up at our park shelter location and the booking process was super easy. I highly recommend Evan the magician! read more

We used Evan for a pancake benefit breakfast at our nonprofit. He spent 30 minutes before the show walking around to our 200+ guests doing personalized, interactive magic. Then, he did a 30 minute show that created a captive audience--the kids (ages birth-10ish) and adults alike were engaged and having a good time. Evan was punctual, friendly, and right on spot throughout the event. We appreciate the laughter and "oohs and aahs" --our guests had a great time. Thanks, Evan! read more

Absolutely outstanding show! We invited Evan for our son 6th Birthday Party and all kids and adults were blown away with the show! Evan engaged the kids, made them laugh, made them do all types of tricks and did absolutely wonderful job! I will surely invite and suggest him to all my friends. Even is on time, prepared, spending time with kids after show and even leaving a few extra balloons for replacement so kids won't be upset after he leave. I am a huge fan of Evan now!:) read more

Saw Evan in March at starving artist on parade at the NocNoc. I was also fortunate enough to have him perform some table magic for me and my friend Miranda. He was amazing! Very personable and friendly. Not to mention very, very talented with magic. He had the audience in the palm of his hand when he performed on stage. Love that he included members of the audience in his show to help out with some tricks. Can't wait to see him perform again! read more

We hired Evan for our 6 year old sons birthday and were extremely happy with the decision. It will be a memory he and his friends talk about for a while. My son is into Star Wars and magic and Evan perfectly mashed those two in a perfectly funny and entertaining Storm Trooper magic show. All the kids were thoroughly entertained and the adults loved it too! We would definitely recommend and hire Evan again. :) read more

We discovered Evan at a friends birthday party and have also seen his wonderful Variety Show. He just performed for my son's 6th birthday party and everyone (kids and adults) thoroughly enjoyed the performance! He does a great job of combining amazing magic and pure entertainment while engaging and involving everyone. My kids have been practicing their magic skills ever since! I would highly recommend him! read more

Evan was great! He showed up in plenty of time to setup for our 10 year old's birthday party. We had 25 diversely aged people here at our house. We thought it would be a challenge but Evan catered to them all. He was always funny and we had nothing but praise from all during and after the birthday party. He took extra time at the end making unique balloons for all the kids. We highly recommend Evan. read more

SO MUCH MYSTERIOUS FUN. We were lucky to get in and I'm so glad we had the opportunity to go. The ambience is amazing what with the self playing piano and all the secret doors and bookshelves. It's kitsch but hey, it was a grand ol time. Wondering into random rooms and watching personal magic shows was an experience I'll never forget! Don't ever turn down an invite from this place. read more

We hired Evan for my daughter's 7th birthday. He was all I could have asked for. He was clear in his communication as we were planning, hugely entertaining, and just an all around lovely guy. He handled the dozen grabby kids with ease. My daughter, who is not the easiest to please, declared, "he is awesome." I totally agree. read more

Evan kept the kids and parents entertained for almost an hour! He arrived early and after setup, mingled with kids and entertained them with a few fun tricks while the other guests arrived. The show was fun with a lot of funny one liners for the parents! He also did these cool balloon animals! read more
