PAST CLIENTS AND PLACES YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ME:

I receive and appreciate all of the great feedback from my clients and their patrons and guests!  Every now and then, however, a past client will go out of their way to thank me in writing.  Below are a few of my most cherished testimonials: 

"Matt's act was impressively entertaining and interactive. Matt was hired to serve as a performer for the children's section of our event, but it is a testament to Matt's skill that both children and adults were entertained by his act. Whether on stage or off stage, Matt is wonderfully amicable and was a pleasure to work with. Since this was a large-scale event on a university campus, Matt was only one of many performers, but Matt stands out as the one who received the most compliments from university staff and event organizers. ...he demonstrated an admirable degree of adaptability. When he was not performing on stage, Matt served as our balloon artist and he did an exceptional job with that as well. The quality of his work was to the degree that he became the 'unofficial' central attraction of the children's section. I speak on behalf of the event organizers and the university staff when I say that Matt King would be fantastic entertainment for both large-scale, public celebrations and small-scale, private parties." - Jesse Mancilla, Co-chair, Children's Village for Cultural Celebration, University of California San Diego

"Matt the Magician came out and did some incredible tricks for the crowd...he was showing a spider on his hand. It somehow appeared on the woman’s leg and she screamed...then he did a trick that involved using a knife to cut into his arm, fake blood squirted everywhere.  I heard someone say, "This guy does some pretty intense tricks.  He'd be the perfect magician for teenage boys." The wife responded "Or punk rockers."  I said, "I just hope that's not the same knife they're going to cut the cake with....Before the cake was cut, the magician stuck one of the candles through his arm. I heard someone say, “Do you think he ever got any burn scars or broken bones when he learned these tricks?” - Josh Board - Crasher, San Diego Reader

"His act was very polished and professional and the students loved it!  He performed a wide variety of tricks including "Cutting a Lady in Half" (which was actually 6 pieces preceded by the famous Zag-Zag Lady), shoving a lit candle through his arm and a Houdini trick that involved extricating himself from handcuffs and a locked mail bag (all examinable ;-).  He varied his tricks to be age appropriate for primary, middle and upper grade students and made good use of audience participation.  I highly recommend Mr. King to other school and youth groups." Fabiola Bagula - Vice-Principal at       ]Balboa Elementary School.

"Now I have seen quite a few strange things in my life, being a Psychiatrist and all, but what you have just done before my eyes has completely defied the logic in my mind.", attendee at San Diego Business Improvement District's event.

"Dear Matthew, We are still talking about you, have your ears been ringing? We all enjoyed your magic show and delightful presentation on Sunday night. Thank you, THANK YOU for the joy and laughter you brought us. Especially thank you again for the magical appearance of Alison's gift you presented to her on behalf of the staff. Best Regards, PLATT/WHITELAW ARCHITECTS, INC."

"Matthew visited our wellness clinic for a Christmas party and all whom attended were quite appreciative of the event. Matthew is charming, humorous, and skilled as a magician and I would absolutely recommend anyone whom would like an event that encompasses all types and ages to utilize Mathew and his magic.  Appreciatively, M. Hinds"
 

"Hi Matt, Thank you so much for entertaining us at Tiffany and Christopher's birthday party. You were absolutely terrific and great with the kids. It was neat that you had so many of them involved as magician assistants. I've had 1/2 dozen parents so far come up and say that you were fantastic. Please let me know if you would like me to write a recommendation for your website. I certainly will recommend you. Thanks, Sheri"

"Dear Matt King: Thank you for coming to my birthday party. It was so exciting to meet you. My friends and I had a great time watching you do your tricks. My favorite tricks were the lipstick writing on the mirrored boxes and the card trick with the 5 of Hearts that magically switched to an Ace under Alyssas' foot. You're a great magician. My Mom and Dad thought so too. Thank you for making my birthday party a really special day! Sincerely, Logan" (6 years old)

"We had Matt come and perform for our son's 5th birthday. He was incredibly awesome and the kids loved him. His tricks are age appropriate and very believable. Which I feel makes his show worth every $. I would recommend King's Illusions to all of my friends!  Thanks Matt for a wonderful experience! Shannon & Ricardo"

"Thank you so much for coming to my party and thank you for being a great magician. I really like the trick that made the records yellow, blue, and red. I really liked that I got to float in the air too. Thank you for making my party really fun." Kayana (age 6)

"You were great!!!! The kids loved your show and the parents were very thankful that they could eat and socialize in peace.  Thank you again. - Ramona"

Matt put on an awesome show at our son's birthday party. He arrived early and set up quickly. The 15 children (mostly around age 6) were entertained and so were all of the 25 adults. He used both children and adult volunteers from the audience throughout the show. Afterwards, he made incredible balloon animals and objects for all of the children. Matt is a true professional and entertainer! Jeff Miller, March 2010

"Thanks for your great show at our Blue and Gold banquet.  The kids LOVED it and talked about for days...my son has even expressed interest in learning magic!  You handled the boys enthusiasm beautifully.  Thanks again! - Erica Cox" - Cub Scouts Blue and Gold Annual Dinner
