Birthday Party Magician Testimonials

“I have hired John in my professional roles at both Radio Disney and for special events at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix. But perhaps even more importantly, I’ve hired him in my role as a dad for my own son’s birthday party and would gladly do it again.

John is exactly where you want a party magician to be. He has one foot in the kids’ world and the other in the grown ups’. He genuinely likes performing for kids and it shows (in part because he’s a new dad himself). In fact, although his professionalism is always evident, I would characterize him not as a slick theatrical magician who’s merely gracing us with his presence to pay the bills, but rather as that awesome older brother who does cool magic tricks and is always fun to have around.

Adults want a magician to amaze them but kids just want a magician to be fun and make them laugh. I don’t know how he does it but John always manages to deliver solidly on both fronts. It’s like magic or something!”

“My family’s experience with John Fitzsimmons and FitzMagic exceeded all of our expectations.

John came to my home to perform for my son’s 6th birthday party. From a logistical standpoint, his set-up and take-down was quick and he didn’t need me to provide any equipment. He is professional/appropriate in appearance.

From an entertainment standpoint, John captured the full attention of the audience (children AND parents) right from the get-go. His jokes were audience-appropriate, and some moms were the loudest laughers. The kids just adored him.

John is very personable and easy to be around, and I would absolutely recommend him for any type of function.”

“The only thing my son wanted for his 9th birthday was a magician. So we contacted FitzMagic and hired him for our party and he was a hit! The kids were on the edge of their seats the entire time. My son still talks about his birthday to this day, and we all had a great time!”

"Thanks for being such a great magician at the Gala! The Kids (and adults!) loved you. The costume was wonderful too. I enjoyed meeting you as did my boys. I’m sure I’ll be calling you to make another appearance soon. Thanks again for the great job!"

"…John Fitzsimmons is very enthusiastic about what he does and he shows that enthusiasm while performing for all of the Phoenix Suns fans before the games… He is an outstanding professional and he also knows where and when he is needed to entertain on the plaza. More recently I have hired him to perform for the Phoenix Mercury and the fans love him just as much as the Phoenix Suns fans do!"

Kim Bucich, The Phoenix Suns

"John Fitzsimmons never ceases to amaze me, either through his incredible illusions or his dynamic stage presence — he is a consummate professional. John performed at the Eight benefit premiere performance of Sesame Street Live for an audience of over 1500 children and adults and delighted everyone in attendance."
