Due to COVID mass gathering restrictions, we had to reschedule AND move the venue outside, but Larry stuck with us the entire time and created an amazing line-up for us. Our audience really loved Larry's performance and appreciated the outdoor modifications to the show.

Magician and Mentalist in Saratoga, NY

"Joshua drew standing room only crowds for each of his three fabulous acts and audience members who had chosen to stand in line for an hour to see him said it was all worth the wait. Josh was gracious and easy to work with in advance of the performances and even agreed to tailor one of his shows to help a young man make a surprise proposal to his girlfriend, which was amazing and touching to watch- truly the definition of "magic". Certainly we will love to have this performer back and in a bigger venu"
