Phil Smith - Abracadabra Productions - Magicians in Maine

Phil,

I have been meaning to send you an e-mail thanking you for the great job I have heard that you did.  You certainly helped to make a very difficult birthday, one to remember.  Ginger and the other moms that saw your show were totally impressed by you and the show.  Hearing this was no surprise to me.

I have heard from many parents that the children talked alot about the party.  The party was a hit.  Anita absolutely loved it!!!!  That is the most important part.

Dear Phil,

 "Thank you so much for my daughter’s wonderful magic show. She, as well as all of her other little friends were mesmerized and thoroughly entertained. They were especially fond of the grand finale.  We, as parents, were especially grateful for your promptness and ease of set up.  The youngest one is looking so very forward to her turn…"

 "I wanted to take a moment to let you know what a terrific performance you gave at George's 13th birthday party. I am still hearing from George's guests about how wonderful you were. Your performance was a big hit and you are getting nothing but rave reviews from George's family and friends. Thank you so much for a wonderful show."  
Karen Darling

Debbie Elliott Salon & Day SPA-
"Phil was extremely receptive to our specific desires and was most willing to accommodate our needs. Phil's comedy was funny, his magic impressive, and he always turned the joke on himself. His willingness to play the jester kept the audience from ever feeling uncomfortable during the magic show."
Debbie Elliot, Debbie Elliot Salon & Day SPA

"...thank you for helping to make Dylan's birthday extra special, I never guessed how intrigued he and his guests would be. The next day, as we saw some of the same kids, I knew we had chosen wisely. The first words out of their mouths were, "Dylan, your birthday party was awesome!" and "Yeah, that was the best party ever!"
Amy Volk, parent


"I can highly recommend Philip Smith for entertaining children with his magic. First, Phil was prompt and accurate about time estimates to set up and to perform. (Flexible with indoors or outdoors) Second, he really engaged the children on many levels. The children actively participated in many of the tricks as a group, and as individuals with special attention given to the "birthday boy" which pleased him greatly. Phil also had a wonderful childlike sense of humor and really had the children laughing out loud. Lastly, my own son was delighted that he'd had Phil's magic at his party and many of the mothers told me in the days following the party that their children had remarked to them how great the magician was!"
Gail Kezer Lowe, parent

Portland's Downtown District-
"Occasionally a group of visitors may stop by, yet on the day your performance passers by stopped in their tracks entranced by your magic, clever manner and humor. Your jokes hit the spot with all ages, the entire audience was awestruck and giddy by the time they left."
Amy Krawczyk, Marketing Dir. Portland's Downtown District

Seacoast Fun Park-
"The folks from Boston had a great time on our attractions as well as during the time spent waiting to get on them, the later due to your ability to mesmerize them with your magic. I hope I do it justice calling it magic, but it did have an amazing impact on the kids and their chaperones."
David Ennis, Mgr. Seacoast Fun Park

J. Andrew Ferreira, Dir. Public Relations & Dev.
