What an amazing experienced we had with Paul and his character. We used him for an event that was hectic at one of our store locations. I wasnt able to meet with him when it was showtime. He had the character step right in and interact with the customers. Didnt need any direction from me, just got right to work. Once he was able to catch up with me he did and then also made sure to check out with me. We will most defiantly use his services again :)

We hired Paul and two of his amazing costumed characters, Iron Man & Spiderman for our sons third birthday party and we couldnt have been happier! The costumes were exactly what we had hoped they would be and exactly what Paul promised us! They made our sons birthday unforgettable in the best way! Paul was accommodating, professional, punctual, and did a great job engaging all of the kids to interact, dance and play with the characters! This will be the only place that we will hire entertainment from in the future! Thank you Paul Antonio, Iron man & Spiderman for making our sons birthday extra memorable! We would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for quality costumes and entertainment!

We had Marshall from the Paw Patrol come to my daughters birthday and it was more then perfect. He had music playing the whole time dancing with the kids. Even the adults were in the dance circle. I would highly recommended them for any of your occasions. Thank you Paul and of course Marshall for making my daughters birthday perfect!

Paul is great! Highly recommend his show. The magic tricks are great - several will leave you wondering, How did he do that??? - and the variety act is very entertaining, but what really ties it all together is Pauls great sense of humor and comedic timing. This is his business, and he is an absolute professional; every step of the way, we were impressed by the outstanding level of service he delivers.Weve hired Paul to perform at two different birthday parties, for children with very different personalities, in very different venues. Both times he put on a marvelous show that everyone in attendance - from the youngest children to the crankiest adults - enjoyed. Paul is able to react to and tailor his show for whatever comes his way - which, with kids, can be anything! For our shy, timid child, he was wonderful about not putting her on the spot and he found ways to engage her and make her feel special even though she didnt want to do the usual birthday child is the special volunteer thing. For our child who loves to be the center of attention and often doesnt think before he speaks, Paul did a really nice job of keeping all the kids engaged and making sure others got to participate as well, which kept the whole show very balanced and fun.Weve hired other local performers for parties in the past, and Paul is hands-down our favorite (and the only one weve brought back a second time). You cant go wrong with him.

Paul performed at our school today. We are a combined elementary and middle school, so he did two different shows. He was everything I hoped hed be. He was extremely professional, and very entertaining. He brought wonderful Christian lessons infused with his magic. We will definitely book him for Catholic Schools Week next year. Thank you, Paul!

Paul worked May 1-5, 2018 each evening for us as we created an unusual experience for Hendrick;s Gin. A wide range of consumers, his non-stop energy and personality, were great resources to drive our awareness.Always maintaining a smile, whether it was outside or inside a restaurant. Very funny, worked on stilts and juggled for a whimsical presentation.I would welcome the opportunity to our working again.

Thank you for this wonderful experience. From booking, payment, to the day of the party, it was such a smooth process. The rates were reasonable, payment was a one step process. They arrived on time, and were a hit! My son took some time warming up to the costume and he was wonderful on working with us to get him feeling comfortable. The kids loved the fire dog, they danced and played, and just had fun. The adults even got in it. I would recommend to anyone. Check him out!

We booked Mickey Mouse to come to our sons first birthday party! Paul Antonio and Mickey Mouse were fantastic!! They were there before the scheduled time in order to set up the music and brought smiles to all our guests faces! It was the hottest day of summer and the party was outside and that didnt stop Mickey from dancing and posing for our photos! Paul was very friendly and professional! I will definitely be booking again in the future!

Paul performed stilt walking, juggling and unicycling at an event for 265 high school students. He was very talented, entertaining and highly engaging!

Everyone at my party enjoyed Paul and his act. Not only was the magic great, but Paul is a complete professional, from beginning to end. He arrives early, sets up early, gives the full amount of time you contracted for, and plays to the group. Ours was an adult birthday party and he had everyone laughing, participating, and happy. I highly recommend Paul.

Review №41

Audience truly enjoyed Paul. A little slow start with the rings( a little too long at the beginning). Not your fault but several couldnt view some of the act because of the space provided. I think many in the audience missed some of the good acts. I liked the sport jacket escape and the blocks at the end. Good show!

Paul Antonio Magic did a wonderful job at our Community Day event on Saturday, August 6th 2016. The only reason I didnt give all 5 stars is because I was not able to see all of his illusions and acts, but what I did see had all the kids (and adults) excited for more!I would definitely hire Paul Antonio Magic again for a more intimate setting, primarily so I can be a part of all of it!

Elmo came to see us at my daughters 2nd birthday. They were prompt in their arrival, included all the kids, and played music and danced to ease the ones who were nervous. We also did balloon animals and Paul made sure all children (and adults) who wanted a balloon got one. With the close to 100 people I had there, it could have been a mess, but he jived well with the set up of the party. Very professional, friendly, and I would definitely recommend them again.

Paul and his crew did an amazing job at our organizations concert this weekend! The costumes (Minnie and a Transformer) were clean and on point--the kids lovred them! I think Minnie had her own little entourage at one point! The team was on time and totally flexible for meet up location and set up logistics. We are most certainly going to use Pauls costume services again for our upcoming events for the community!

Paul was very entertaining. We were having a picnic at my brother in laws house, hoping to help take his mind, and his childrens minds off the sudden loss of their wife and mother. We had a gathering of friends and family, and everyone was impressed with Pauls show. We all found his magic to be impressive, and he also extremely funny. The kids and the adults alike have been talking about his show for days.i would recommend Paul, for his professionalism and his comedic magical show.This is money well spent, and we look forward to having back for or next picnic in 2016.

Paul was a good performer and the kids really enjoyed him. The only negatives were that it took a little too long to show each act and he used my D.J.s equipment for his performance. What if I didnt have a DJ with a sound system? But other than that, it was a good performance and the finale was amazing!!!

I booked Paul for my grandaughters 8th birthday ! She had already had her kids party at her moms the week before and had a blast. So this was just a small family gathering at my sons house - and i wanted something different and special for her. Well she was thrilled! Paul kept her attention the entire time and she was amazed at the tricks. She is a little shy - but she went along with helping Paul with a few tricks...He is a very personable guy and the adults enjoyed him as well! I would recommend him for any event! Thanks Paul -It was a pleasure and I appreciate you making time -you had a very busy weekend!

Paul was awesome at our churchs Family Fun Day Carnival last week! He started out the event walking all through the rides and activities on stilts while juggling, and immediately caught everyones attention. Then he performed a marvelous magic show, employing audience participation, which had everyone laughing and wondering, how did he do that?? From the smallest child in the front row watching with rapt attention, to the parents standing in the back, he had everyones complete attention, not only with his amazing skills, but also his terrific sense of humor. I would highly recommend him for any event; he is a very talented professional who really knows how to entertain.

Paul was fantastic to work with . This was the first time I had worked with him , he traveled over 2 hours to come do my grandaughters 2nd birthday party, He emailed me several times confirming and offering any assistance which I liked knowing we were all set.They arrived early to set up and see the area where we would be . I would recommend him to anyone several adults at the party asked for his information.We had the Minnie Mouse theme and the mouse was fantastic ! They played music, dancing with the kids being patient with the birthday girl . The children were sorry to leave them leave. the adults were even joining in on the singing and dancing. Posing for pictures with the children. We didnt have as many show up as we liked but it didnt matter. We had so much fun. . I will hire Paul again in the future !
