Testimonials

We used The Magic Man for Dublin Zoo’s Breakfast with Santa event throughout December 2010. From the beginning John was a joy to work with. His dedication to the task at hand was unquestionable which was evident when he didn’t miss a single appearance despite battle through Ireland’s recent Arctic conditions. Each and every child (and the parents) thoroughly enjoyed The Magic Man show. We have no doubt that we will use The Magic Man again at events in Dublin Zoo. — Aoife Keegan, Marketing & Events Executive., Dublin Zoo

I just wanted to say thank you for your magic at our wedding. Everybody really enjoyed your performances, which were a talking point both on the day and since. Thanks again and you can be sure that we will be giving you our highest recommendation to our friends. — Patrick and Emma

As a tourism organisation whose main aim each year is to promote Irish Caravan and Camping Holidays, we have traditionally always taken a stand at the Dublin Holiday World in the RDS. This year we decided to do something
different to attract more people to the stand area in order to promote the ICC Guide. We chose to use John Gerard, due to excellent recommendations. He proved to be a huge success. His professionalism was unbeatable. He was
able to attract crowds of young and old and could cater to all with his amazing magic. It was also his ability to amaze the crowds while building up an interest in our organisation and holiday sites that convinced me that
hiring John Gerard had been the right choice. As Chair of the ICC, I can guarantee that we will use John again to attract and entertain at our stands in the future. Also from a personal point of view, I hope to invite John to my Holiday Park to keep our children happy throughout the summer with his talents. I would recommend the John Gerard to anyone in a personal or corporate capacity for the best entertainment available. — Niamh Darcy, Chairperson, Irish Caravan & Camping Council

In 2010 we decided to create an entertainment club for the kids at River Valley Holiday Park. The club was called ‘Camp Rock’ and every evening we put on activities such as Irish Dancing, Hip-Hop Dance, Gymboree Games, X-Factor Kareoka to name but a few. The Big Event was held every Sunday where John ‘The Magic Man’ would entertain the kids with a fun filled show full of laughter, magic, jokes & puppets. Due to the popularity of John’s Shows and all the positive feedback from our young customers, we have booked him again every Sunday during the Summer of 2011. — Leigh, Mickey Finn’s Pub, Redcross, Co.

We would like to thank you for the fantastic show last week. The children really enjoyed it, and so did the staff.

Take care, — Sarah O`Donovan, Childcare, Fort Hill, Cork
