Testimonials
" ..... Your unique and dignified approach touched me in a way that most magicians don't.
The near macabre but lovely delivery of illusion you employ is almost Tim Burton-esque on the surface,
but simultaneously filled with so much heart that all of the departed classically trained magicians surely
must be looking over your shoulder each time you extract a sense of wonder in the wry smiles of your audience.
Thank you, Vick, for truly making my day special and bringing a true sense of wonder alive again in me."

"I could not have asked for a better performer for our fundraiser.
Vick was simply outstanding - so good that we've already decided
to have him back again next year.
He is incredibly patient, amazingly talented,
and fantastically skilled at entertaining children and adults simultaneously.
Thanks, Vick, for a GREAT time!"

"Vick was fantastic from start to finish.
He took great care to understand what we wanted from his performance.
He performed during our holiday party in front of about 30 guests and our 5 year old son.
The performance was very polished
and he included a few tricks especially for our son
who was absolutely entranced by the experience.
He stayed on afterwards to allow people to ask questions and did some close up magic.
Our guests were very impressed and this is testimony to Vick's talent and professionalism.
I would heartily recommend Vick's performance.

"Dear Vick,
It was our pleasure to have you here,
and I will definitely be recommending you to my colleagues at other libraries!
Successful programming is a two-way street, and you certainly did your share by arriving early,
being prepared, and radiating calm. I appreciated that!
Thanks again for a wonderful show--
I have heard nothing but positive comments from the parents and kids who attended,
People really enjoyed your show, and the mysterious, magical mood you created.
There was something for everyone, and you tailored your show to suit the audience.
So thanks again for a magical afternoon (the bubbles were my favorite part!),
and I hope we can have you back at Damascus in the future.
Cordially,
Amy A."

Adults enjoyed the show just as much as did the children.
Vick patiently waited until all of the guests arrived and communicated his intentions very well.
He understands, gains, and maintains the focus and attention of the minds of children,
as well as kept them all entertained, and participating in the show, a challenging task in itself.
He is a gentleman and a scholar in performance arts and illusion, and you can see he takes pride
in putting on a special performance no matter where he takes the stage.
A most versatile, accommodating, and pleasant entertainer who I will ever have had the pleasure to meet.
You cant go wrong with this performer!

You created a perfect blend of illusions
and we were all having such fun that the time flew by.
You really crafted your act to match the size and character of the audience.
Plus, you arrived on time, were absolutely game for anything,
and did such a great job entertaining.

Dear Professor Snape
A.K.A. Vick Gisin,Thank you, Professor Snape for performing your magic at Howard County Library,
More Muggle Midnight Madness was a hit with over 650 attendees
Everyone was impressed with Professor Snape and his feats of magic.
They raved about how realistic the evening was and their encounters
with you only made them feel more like a part of Hogwarts.
Everyone was asking about Professor Snape and his true identity
Thank you for your time and dedication helping to make this evening a success.
We look forward to your future magic show at various Howard County Library Branches this fall
Sincerely,

"I have never heard so many positive comments about the entertainment
chosen for our annual cub scout Blue/Gold dinner as this year
when Vick performed for 100 or more wide eyed scouts.
Both kids and parents were amazed by the magic!
In addition, we were all impressed by the way Vick incorporated
scouting values and the 100th Birthday of scouting into the program.
I would highly recommend this Magician for any event."

"Vick is outstanding! I can't say enough great things about him and his performance.
I threw a very special party for new clients, friends and family and wanted something
fresh, stylish and unique and for them to be entertained (and impressed).
Vick exceeded even my expectations. I asked for an illusionist (like Eisenheim from the movie)
and am thrilled with the results. He was great working with me before the event too.
Everything was perfect!"

"I heard from many who thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and clearly had a great time.
Many were talking about the Sorcerer's Apprentice long after you'd gone.
I think everyone appreciated the fact that you asked the Scouts to rise to your level
rather than talking down to them. Also, kudos to you for handling this active bunch so well."

"Thanks so much for the great job this afternoon, all of the kids loved the performance!
We especially appreciate you adjusting your tricks so that they were age appropriate,
and the timing was just right.
The other teachers all had glowing remarks about your performance as well. You were a hit!
Thanks again for taking time to entertain our classes ...."

"This was a 98th birthday party in a retirement home with an audience of approximately 40, of varied ages.
Punctual and communicative as if it were a military operation.
All was in readiness...no surprises.
Complete ease with his illusions and audience enabled a "wow" growing from illusion to illusion.
Got the audience involved up front and kept them glued to his activity.
Not only would hire him again but easily recommend him to anyone else = BRAVO.
btw, I'd rate Vick Gisin a 6 out of 5 for rapport and ease and communication with the client."
