What's being said about Illusions by Vick ~ As Professor Snape We all LOVED your performance - kids and adults alike! It really made the party extra special, and very memorable for Kelsey, to have Professor Snape hold class with such a variety of illusions. We felt fortunate to have discovered you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Beth A Vick played Professor Snape from Harry Potter for our son's 9th birthday and he was a HUGE hit. He played the part well and his magic was astounding. Vick had each of the 11 kids at the party involved in at least one trick and really dazzled not only the kids, but the adults as well. He was extremely professional and just a delight to work with when planning our party. He was quick to respond, via email, and really planned well. Our son has been interested in magic since he was young and has seen quite a few magicians, but he said he thought Vick was the best he has ever seen! Kandice D Vick was fabulous! He made my son's Harry Potter party a truly memorable event. I can't rave about him enough! -Donna R, Dear Professor Snape A.K.A.

Vick, Thank you so much for performing at the SOA's The Music of Harry Potter. Thanks to your participation we brought music to over 400 friends and family! -Symphony Orchestra of Arlington We booked Vick as the entertainer for our; daughter's 8th birthday party, and we were excited and pleased by his performance. He offers a variety of packages, and for our party, Vick took on the persona of Professor Snape (from the Harry Potter books) during a 45 minute magic act. Vick will adjust his performance to meet your preference based on the age and interest of the audience. He can vary the intensity of Snape's nastiness. Given the members of our party, Snape was mildly irritated by the non-Slytherins, but not scary. The magic was captivating and held the interest of both adults and children. Vick's communication during the booking process was excellent and the payment process was clear and easy. Out of character, he is easy-going, friendly with guests, and always professional. An easy recommendation! Mike C Then magician Vick Gisin — in the guise of Professor Severus Snape astonished the crowd with his magical talents, such as levitating and shrinking objects, and igniting a page from a book into flame. “He was amazing and everyone who saw him was blown away,” Said Tess Hogans, vice president of the Harry Potter Festival Volunteer Executive Board and theater manager at the Garfield Center for the Arts.
