Our daughter is still talking about it and it's been weeks since the party. Another classmate brought in one of the goodie bag items for show and share at preschool.

He also handled a sensitive situation with one child who got scared at a balloon popping with grace and kindness-he is wonderful with young children. Can't recommend him enough-thank you Mister Barry!

I contacted Mr Wood, luckily he actually have two different packages, and for older kids, he could teach some tricks. Right after the party. The kids were thrilled and started playing some tricks learnt from Mr Wood. All the kids love him so much. From me, Mr Wood made every party so easy, smooth, and worry free for all the parents

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.

Mark Phillips and Ryan Phillips were both terrific. The one we voted for did indeed win, but they were both great! The Saturday we were there, there were two performances. We chose the 5pm one. It's a fast-paced show that kept us laughing, intrigued and highly entertained. A very fun, wonderful way to spend entertainment dollars in DC. Not a bad seat in the house! This is downstairs in the historic Mayflower Hotel, nice and close to the Farragut North Metro Stop. Definitely appropriate for all ages. Highly recommend!

Abracadabra Alex performed at our daughter's fifth birthday party and was absolutely amazing. He…read morewas able to absolutely entertain the entire group of fifteen or so 4-6 year olds for more than an hour (longer than he had anticipated) and I can't tell you how much laughter and shrieks of delight we heard. Most importantly to us, he was able to get our fairly shy daughter comfortable and up in front of the group of her friends to join in his act and, even better, she had a great time doing it. He also stayed after the show to make balloon animals for all of the kids in attendance which was a big hit. It was all around a great show and Alex was fantastic at working with the kids. He was also great at communicating with us regarding preferences etc... leading up to the show. I'd book him again in a heartbeat.

My daughter who just turned 3 and is a little delayed, and I waited in line alongside my daughter's father. and my niece who is also 3. When we get up to her, we all politely greeted her. She responds by saying "I can do a balloon for her (pointing at my niece and then directs her finger towards my daughter) but not her. She's not 3.) I respond by letting her know she is in fact 3. Lola proceeds to say LOUDLY (Can she talk? She can't talk. These are my rules, she has to be 3 to get a balloon. I don't want a lawsuit filed.) We are all standing there in a room full of families (our neighbors) appalled and embarrassed for this clearly delusional and unprofessional woman. I guess she decided to read the room because she proceeded to give my daughter a duck and the a balloon flower which my daughter wore on her head. I have never been so insulted in my entire life, and all over a balloon. We went to the next station to a much kinder lady who was so patient with my niece and daughter while doing face painting. While in line for that, we continued to hear Lola say to other families and their CHILDREN (Get back behind the line. I need personal space.) Lola, please find another profession, preferably where you are not interacting with people, especially children. Both my niece and daughter were visibly afraid to take anything from you due to your nasty tone and demeanor. If I could give 0 stars, I would.
