Magic is a performing art. The performance is just as, if not more, important than sleights and effects, and Finn was truly exceptional in his performance! I hired Finn for my birthday party at home with friends; he did a phenomenal job, and everyone had a blast.

I hired him for finals week at my school and everyone loved him and his acts! Our school was on quite a strict budget for student spending, and Finn was happy to negotiate with us. He's one of the nicest, most flexible, and social performers I've met and I highly recommend him for any party! (The photos below have blacked-out faces for student privacy)
I hired Finn for my husband’s 30th birthday party and he was absolutely phenomenal! He completely exceeded my expectations and was worth every single penny. His parlor show was a huge hit and all of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how incredible he was. His magic tricks were insane and his mentalism was truly mind-blowing. We were all left speechless trying to figure out how he did what he did! On top of his incredible talent, Finn was so kind, funny, personable and entertaining. He made the entire experience so much fun and truly made the night extra special. Thank you again, Finn for being such an amazing part of the celebration! If you’re thinking about hiring him for your next event - DO IT! You will absolutely NOT regret it!

Finn surprised our bachelor party group of 17 people in Bend, Oregon and absolutely crushed it. Before the show, he took the time to connect with me personally to help customize the experience for our group, which made it feel incredibly interactive and tailored.
The show itself was an awesome mix of magic, mentalism, mind-reading, and comedy. He kept everyone engaged the entire time, had us laughing nonstop, and somehow still managed to completely blow our minds with some of the things he pulled off.
You could tell he really knows how to read a crowd and work a room. Our group talked about the show the rest of the weekend. Easily one of the highlights of the bachelor party — highly recommend booking him for any group event.

I hired Finn to perform at a birthday brunch and was so happy that I did! I had a small group of 9 people so we were all able to get involved and collectively had our minds blown! I was expecting some sleight of hand and was floored when he guessed the name of my first crush. My friends and I had an absolutely amazing time and it was the highlight of my birthday. I've hangout with the same group a few times since and we're still talking about how fun and impressive the show was! I'd reached out to a few magicians in the area and I'm so happy we decided to go with Finn!

We hired Finn to perform at our wedding and do some close-up magic and mentalism for our guests!
My wife and I can remember hearing our guests laughing and cheering from inside the venue as we were outside talking pictures with our photographer. He put on a great show for our guests and for us too later in the evening.
Finn is a great performer and a true professional, and was great to work with throughout the planning process. We don't plan on getting married again, but if we did we'd hire him back in a heartbeat.😁

We had Finn for our Senior All Night Grad Party and he was the best! He walked and mingled with kids for the night, then ended with a fun show. We are 3 weeks out and the kids are STILL talking about it! It was a perfection addition to our party!
