Testimonials

“I had seen Tomas out and about doing magic a couple times before I decided to hire him for our large commercial office building tenant party. I am so glad I did! Our tenants were thrilled with not only his tricks but also how engaging he was – even having one of our tenants perform the magic trick, seemingly without Tomas’ help. I heard over and over, “how did he do that!?” and “that was awesome!” – all thoughts that I have had before! Tomas truly is ‘awesome’ and certainly made the party. He was a dream to work with!” -Amber

Johnnie Walker has employed tomas a number of times as entertainment for a series of high end events featuring our Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Each time he has been nothing but the epitome of professionalism and extremely funny (and at times, a bit mind boggling) as well. Mr. Medina is a terrific crowd pleaser, easy to work with and one of the best magicians I have ever seen. I highly recommend him for any show you may have in mind. –Martin
