"Joshua was very entertaining and engaged the audience all the way through the show. After the show audience members thanked us for bringing him to the theater and I've since seen several of the attendees elsewhere and they all say how much fun they had. Joshua was very easy to work with and all aspects of the show went well. Thanks!"

Sponsored Events Manager, Old Theatre Corporation

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 Princeton, WV

"We brought Joshua in to perform a public show for us because I saw him perform a few years ago and he just blew my mind. We sold almost 600 tickets, and we were thrilled with his performance. He was wonderful."

Executive Director, Chuck Mathena Center

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!'"

"This was SO-O-O fun and the comedian you recommended was a delight. Very funny and an audience pleaser. We have had wonderful feedback from our members."

Program Coordinator, Baker Arts Center

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
