Presto the Magician

Kevin (Presto the Magician) is talented. Think «America’s Got Talent» talented. I saw him briefly perform at a kid’s birthday party several years ago. When it was time for my daughter’s 6^th birthday, I called him early to book a reservation. No surprise, Presto the Magician is booked solid, so I would highly recommend that you call him several months in advance if you plan on using his services.
For 45 minutes, the group of 20 kids (ages 4 – 8) were absolutely mesmerized, laughing hysterically, and completely absorbed in the entire experience. Presto has the amazing gift of entertaining to the crowd, and he feeds off the energy. His magic tricks are hilarious, and cleverly thought out so that the entire show plays out as a single unified performance. The parents that stuck around for the magic show were also completely engaged, and probably laughing harder than the kids.
I would give him more than 5 stars if Unilocal allowed me to do this. He is professional from the minute you call him, shows up on time with a smile, and follows up after the show. This is somebody who absolutely loves his job, and clearly shows it. I will certainly use him for any entertainment occasion that I can think of in the future.

Presto came to my son’s 7^th birthday party this past Saturday. He and his assistant were prompt and professional. The show was totally age-​appropriate and engaging for the kids while also entertaining the adults. He was patient with the kids (even the ones who got over-​excited) and made sure everyone had fun while staying safe. There are going to be «magic shows» happening at my house for a while now.. .
Great experience from start to finish!

Couldn’t have been happier… presto had us all laughing crying laughing and jaw dropped amazed… class act from the phone call you make to his arrival to him leaving… extremely personable energetic professional and most importantly entertaining to our party of 13 – 85 yrs of age… thanks presto for a forever memorable birthday party

Presto did a fantastic job entertaining the kids (and the adults) at our sons 4^th B’day party. The tricks were great and everyone was super impressed. He even had a bunny in the last trick. All the kids went home with goodies. All in all a great experience

We hired Presto for my daughter’s 6^th birthday party, and it was an excellent decision. The kids loved every minute of it — they were totally engaged. The magic and humor were perfectly age-​appropriate. The laughter and smiles from the kids was priceless. I am an event planner in the Portland area, and I will definitely be referring clients.

Presto performed for my daughter’s 7^th birthday last Saturday and she’s still talking about it non-​stop! There were 18 kids (and a roomful of adults) completely mesmerized for the entire show.
All of the tricks were fun and exciting, with a ton of humor that kept everyone smiling and laughing.
Presto is the real deal!
HIGHLY recommended.

Presto did a magic class for my daughter’s 8^th birthday. He was totally professional, confirmed our date with a deposit and sent good instructions and information. Arrived on time, set up everything, and performed a great show that entertained the kids and the adults. The kids went home with a bunch of tricks, so I didn’t have to provide goody bags. I think Presto is probably the gold standard for traveling magicians in the Portland area!

Can’t say enough good things about Presto! We hired him for my son’s 6^th and my daughter’s 3^rd birthday party. He did a GREAT job! He was VERY ENTERTAINING! There was not a second the kids weren’t laughing. All the parents were super impressed by him as well. A true performer! The best party we’ve ever had and it’s all because of Presto! If you want a party full of laughter and energy, you got to give him a try! You won’t be disappointed!

Presto just performed at my son’s 6^th birthday party. His show was highly entertaining — the kids absolutely loved it. Several parents told me they had seen other magicians at parties and he was by far the best they had seen. I added on the bunny trick and all the kids just went crazy when my son helped make that bunny appear. Highly recommended — just hire him now!

Presto is the ultimate magician! He entertained the 10 year olds and the adults alike. We have followed Presto for years and I am always amazed at his energy and enthusiasm. I never tire of his shows and he really cares about helping young people who are interested in magic. My son is his biggest fan!

Presto is a real pro! We hosted an end-​of summer party at our house and needed a way of keeping the 30+ kids at the party happy and entertained. Presto put on a great show that was very funny. Both the kids and parents loved it. He’s easy to work with an reliable. I highly recommend him!

He was fantastic — came for birthday party. Did all his own set up and take down — no fuss — and the show was funny, age appropriate and the kids were totally engrossed in the show. Very fun — wonder why we didn’t do it sooner — definitely fun for a kids birthday party.

Presto was the life of the party for our 8 year old boy’s birthday. He was able to keep the attention of 12 8 year olds, plus a few older siblings and all the parents for a full hour, which is saying something. Our house has been all about magic since then, and it sounds like the other boys who attended also were bitten by the magic bug. Presto was on time, super professional, great with the kids, and was a huge hit. Worth every penny.

Presto entertained my Girl Scouts with a private magic class and show. They giggled and had a great time! He was prompt, professional, and magical.
