What Clients Say About Alan
Letters and messages from clients, reproduced as they were written.
Close-up magic
“Alan Watson is the first magician from New Zealand to appear in our Close-Up Gallery. He delighted our audiences with his unique technical skills. They are at once astonished and well pleased, a rare combination for any professional to master. His act is of the highest quality and he is one of the finest talents to appear at the Magic Castle in a long time. We look forward to booking Alan Watson whenever he is in the area.”
“I have watched Alan perform his close-up magic on many occasions and have never ceased to wonder at his excellent techniques and ability to entertain simultaneously. Alan's showmanship and personality are unique. The enjoyment I receive, as I watch the bewilderment and complete mystification on the faces of my guests, is tremendous. His act also has the ability to break the ice, often becoming the focal point of the conversation for some considerable time afterwards. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alan as a highly talented, entertaining and professional performer.”
“Mr Alan Watson performed several shows at the Shangri-La's Fijian Resort. He not only thrilled our guests but also amazed them by his various acts of unexplained mystery. His versatile disposition in changing circumstances to suit the audience is astonishing. The quality is of excellence and highly entertaining to both young and old. His fine close-up magic at tables is very rare and greatly appreciated by our guests.”
“Thank you for the show and balloons at Wellington's Restaurant this last Sunday night. The kids and adults enjoyed the magic tricks and I especially enjoyed watching the Professor's Nightmare presentation. Thanks again for adding some fun to the evening.”
Strolling magic
“I would like to express my thanks to you for the two performances of strolling magic you carried out here at the Travelodge. Both occasions were very successful with many of our guests commenting on your flair and talent. I was especially pleased with the atmosphere you created in our outlets as you wandered from venue to venue. It certainly added a touch of sparkle and wonderment to our guests' evening, and many of our regulars are still commenting upon it.”
“Please find attached payment for the fantastic job you did at our National Millionaires Function. Your strolling magic show went down well with some excellent feedback. Your talent and time was much appreciated.”
Family shows & shopping centres
“Congratulations and sincere thanks to you for your very professional and entertaining performances at Hunters Plaza during the school holidays. We are delighted with the public and retailer response to your shows. Entertaining children and adults at the same time is a hard thing to do, and yet you do it so well. From a Marketing Manager's point of view, I must say that it is refreshing to have a totally competent and professional team running the show.”
“LynnMall employed the services of Alan to perform and co-ordinate an entertainment package for the Grand Opening of LynnMall. He later co-ordinated and performed a magic show at LynnMall during the school holidays. LynnMall Marketing has found Alan to be professional, reliable and entertaining and would have no hesitation in recommending him to your business. We look forward to working with Alan again in the near future.”
“On behalf of the Royal Oak Shopping Mall I would like to thank you for once again providing an excellent Family Magic Show during April. This was very well received and we have had many positive comments from both customers and tenants. We look forward to seeing you here at the Mall again soon.”
“At our preschool's Christmas party we invited Alan Watson to come along and do a magic show for the children. Overall we had 71 children attend, plus many parents with toddlers. Alan performed a magnificent show, which involved both children and parents. It kept the interest of the children and we found the show to be a great success with all that were present. Alan's show is imaginative and exciting. I have no hesitation in recommending Alan and his show to anyone with young children.”
“Thank you for once again entertaining our children at our annual Christmas party. It is always reassuring to know that the children will see a quality non-threatening act which is also great fun.”
Trade shows
“Your ability to work our company name and services we offered into your magic while keeping the crowd's attention was great. I appreciate the preparation and interest taken in our company to achieve this. During the four day show there were many times when the walkways were blocked with curious onlookers giving us time to distribute brochures and cards to the interested public. Our expectations were greatly exceeded and I look forward to dealing with you in the future.”
Weddings
“Just wanted to say a huge thank you Alan for performing at our wedding. Your skills are amazing and you were a real hit with all guests. It was very entertaining and helped break the ice with our guests who did not all know each other and were suddenly laughing together — how do you do it?”
“We have heard so much from the guests about your breath taking magic while we were having our photos taken. Everybody thought you were fantastic.”
