Lifestyle Director, The Haven at New Riverside

Youth Program Director, Arts Council of Moore County

Magician and Mentalist in Carrboro, NC

"Joshua is an amazing performer. His show was funny, personal, engaging, mezmerizing and thoroughly magical! Every show was a sell out and that speaks volumes to his work as a performer. Word of mouth spread like wildfire with the basic refrain being 'You can't miss this show!'"

Artistic Director, The ArtsCenter

Magician and Mentalist in Wake Forest, NC

"Entertaining and professional on-stage and a joy to work with backstage. Joshua's performance was SOLD OUT here at the Renaissance Centre and the crowd loved the show. Want to get that "younger audience" that everyone is seeking? Book Joshua. The house was filled with children, their parents and a few grandparents."

Manager, Town of Wake Forest

Magician and Mentalist in Spokane, WA

"Joshua was an amazing addition to our New Year's Eve program! We have had nothing but rave reviews of his performance, and many inquiries if he will be returning next year. He was a joy to work with from start to finish, as he truly brought his A game to the table. I especially appreciated him coming with me at 7AM to do a last minute TV interview when I woke him up at 6:40. He really was team a player every step of the way. I would highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for the real deal."

Executive Director, First Night Spokane

We highly recommend this performance to other Performing Arts Presenters. You won't be disappointed!"
