What a fun performer. I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.

I love how master magician, Steve Chezaday, involved the kids and left them not only dumbfounded, but also instilled magic within and from them! They really thought THEY were performing magic too. Steve - you're a wonderful guy. Very sweet and super nice. I loved your stories, your humor, and appreciate your experience starting from when you first started performing when you turned 7yo. You really honed your skills, and I can see why you were invited on the Bozo show! 5 stars. Worth your weight in gold!

We brought James in for a corporate team event for a group of about 40 Gen Z'ers (Millennials are so 2015, we're on to Gen Z now). James was incredibly easy to work with. He was responsive, easy-going, and amenable to some crazy tweaks in our schedule. He was upfront about costs and very reliable with communication. More importantly, James was an incredible performer. He mingled throughout the room of skeptics and quickly turned them into believers of the art of magic. James has an incredible gift of remembering names. I won't spoil any of his tricks for you but I think the most meaningful element of his time with our group was that he referenced everybody by name, breaking down all barriers and turning the audience into his champions. You should definitely hire James for a goofy, out-of-the-box, memorable event. His illusions might even be on par with Gob Bluth.

James provided entertainment for our 28 guests at Pomeroy Winnetka after dinner. He has a unique…read moregift of not just being an incredible magician but also has a great personality.

We just had a surprise party for our daughter's 5th birthday and hired The Great Scott as the…read moreentertainment. We were a little worried about finding something that would be fun for our daughter, while keeping the attention of our 9-year-old and our friends' 3-year-old. We had a wide range of ages and attention spans, to say the least! However, as soon as the show began, we knew we had a big hit with The Great Scott. All of the kids, and, well, the adults too, were laughing hysterically in an instant. We all went from laughing one minute to being mesmerized the next. The tricks would seem sort of simple but then there was always a head shaking twist that would confound us all. Which was great as we had a 7 year-old skeptic in the audience that was kept in check! The Great Scott put on a 45 minute show in which kids and adults alike were not just entertained, but were completely captivated. We all had a blast! At the conclusion of the show he made balloon figures for each of the kids which then provided round 2 of birthday party entertainment. All in all, a huge success and a super fun afternoon celebrating our daughter thanks to the talents of The Great Scott!

He called me to…read moretalk about the day about two weeks before, then a day before, and showed up on time with all of his tricks the day of. He kept all of the kids entertained for about 45-50 mins with all of his magic and comedy. I had boys and girls that spanned 1 1/2 yrs to 11 and everyone over the age of four told me how awesome the magic show was and it was the best birthday party ever. His website states that his show is better received by kids ages 3 and up, and although that did prove to be true, the four 2 year olds I had there were still mesmerized by him for a good 15-20 mins. The adults also enjoyed the show. I highly recommend Mr. Bob for any birthday party entertainment. He was personable, prompt, incredibly nice and worth every penny.
