Testimonials

Hear what our delighted clients say about our magical comedy performances and shows.

Ed Smoot gave a wonderful beginners juggling workshop for the kids at our library. Joined by his wife, Irene, a former educator, they led the kids through a series of exercises to learn and practice the cascade pattern, working their way up to juggling 3 balls. The activities are well adapted for students in grades 3 to 6. Ed and Irene also worked one-on-one with each student to help them feel comfortable with and confident about the skills they were learning. Ed and Irene are total professionals and work very well with children, and overall, it was a very positive experience for everyone. This is our second library program with Ed Smoot and we look forward to Ed’s Magic Workshop for kids this fall.
Piscataway Public Library
Ed was the ultimate professional at my son’s 6th birthday party. Arrived 45 minutes before intended show time for preparation and was flexible and understanding when several guests arrived late and we had to start slightly later than planned. The show was highly entertaining for both kids and adults, and I loved the adaptations he made to match my son’s interests. The kids enjoyed being involved in the tricks during the show, as well as learning a few tricks during the workshop section. Each kid left with materials for the workshop tricks and instruction handouts so that they can practice with family at home. Ed’s show is the gift that keeps on giving!

The Randolph Township Free Public Library was thrilled to have The Magic of Ed Smoot for two of his Halloween Magic shows. I have known Mr. Smoot for over two decades and he has never failed to deliver an excellent performance. He created an engaging atmosphere and encouraged audience participation. The kids were mesmerized by his magic as well as his humor. He is an avid library advocate and understands the importance of libraries. I would not hesitate to recommend The Magic of Ed Smoot. I look forward to seeing Mr. Smoot again!

Ed Smoot can really play to a crowd. The magician/juggler/balloon sculptor can handle all ages. Three year olds wait with mouth agape waiting for a hummingbird or bumblebee balloon while their parents realize that Ed can teach them to make these delights at the next party. Adults and children can lose themselves in juggling or go wide-eyed when they realize that magic tricks materialize from their own hands. Ed is multi-talented—often with all of these talents being “juggled” at one time as he gathers an intrigued crowd. At our Communiversity booth on April 29, Ed drew a crowd and kept everyone’s eyes glued on his tricks Thank you for a great afternoon, Ed!
Princeton Adult School
We can’t thank you enough for the wonderful Magic presentation that you put on for the students at the Elizabeth Avenue school! All the students were engaged and enjoyed all of the interactive ways that you made the assembly really fun. They all enjoyed seeing the magic and being involved in the performance. I can’t tell you how many times they were laughing throughout the show. The students all asked me when we could have you back again. They really enjoyed it. Thank you again for making this magic show really great with your sense of humor and all the magic. If we have the opportunity we would love to have you back.

Ed Smoot made my 69th birthday party a true “magical event.” He not only entertained my grandchildren to the point we did not even realize they were there, but also the adults as well. The tricks, the magic, the balloons were all done in a way that keep us all entertained. Ed is a true professional in his craft and above all, a gentleman. I cannot recommend Ed highly enough for any type party you might be thinking of. The kids (of all ages – my grandchildren ran from 3 to 10 ) and the adults alike will certainly be well taken care of for the entire evening. Thank you Ed.

Thanks for a great magic show tonight! You had the children enthralled throughout the entire show, and the parents loved it just as much. Some of the comments they shared as they left: “It was superfun!” “I had a great time.” “Great show! It was really good!” Thanks again, and hope to see you for more magic!

One of the parents called just to tell me this was the best workshop her son had ever taken. He was excited and even practiced the homework you assigned. She said whatever you were being paid, you were worth two or three times that!
