“Steve was great to work with. He was very responsive in the booking process. He gave me lots of information and made it easy to choose him for our event. On the day of the event, Steve showed up early, and we went over all the details. We had approximately 75 people at our event, made up of managers, business associates, and their spouses. Steve mingled among the guests during the cocktail hour. He moved from group to group doing small tricks. Everywhere he went, people gravitated to him. He kept everyone entertained and laughing! After dinner, he performed about an hour-long show. It was perfect for our event. We have received many compliments on a fun evening! Thank you, Steve, for a wonderful evening!!”

“Steve did a wonderful job entertaining our employees and their guests at our company holiday party! Everyone in the room was smiling and laughing and baffled by what they were seeing. We especially enjoyed the strolling magic before dinner. Steve made an effort to introduce himself, ask guests for their names, and engage in friendly conversation in addition to doing magic. It gave the event a much more personal feel. We really enjoyed his performance and would recommend him for similar events!”

“It was an hour of laughter, and to be able to see staff enjoy the time with their co-workers was priceless!”
“At our Thanksgiving luncheon for 170 staff members, Steve was able to make an impression on each one of them. The whole next day, we heard from our staff how awesome the performance was and that it was something different for them to experience. It was an hour of laughter, and to be able to see staff enjoy the time with their co-workers was priceless! Not being able to have large gatherings due to covid, this was definitely a treat for them. Steve was able to go around the room and perform at the tables before he got on stage and gave us a show to remember. Steve was funny and polite. I would definitely recommend him for any event that you have coming up. From our owners to office staff to production staff, everyone went home with a permanent smile for the day.”

“This year’s holiday party was a blast! Steve arrived very early and was setup well before our guests arrived. He made his way through the crowd during the cocktail hour and gave everyone just a hint of what was to come. His performance on the stage was a great mixture of comedy and magic. His performance ranged from a predictable trick that turned out not to be predictable at all to some feats that left everyone shaking their head in wonder. He created a very warm and relaxed atmosphere and we all felt as if we were in a friend’s living room rather than at a corporate party.”

"...this was the best banquet that we have ever had!"
“Steve performed at our annual company banquet. The overwhelming response from the employees was that this was the best banquet that we have ever had! I have been planning these banquets for the last 20 years. Usually it is just dinner and a few drinks. We decided to try something different this year, and it was a huge success! We have 45 employees, 40 of them attended with a guest/spouse. We have a mixture of ethnicities and ages ranging from 20 to 68. Steve was very professional from the very first inquiry. He was easy to work with, and patient with all the corporate red tape he encountered during planning. The employees felt engaged and entertained from the start to finish of the event. I would highly recommend Barcellona Presentations for any corporate or private event.”

Steve was easy to work with, flexible, and tailored his performance to meet the group’s needs, and interacted easily with a variety of personalities. We would certainly recommend Steve for any corporate, business or family events! Great time had by all! The fact that the teenagers stayed to see your show is a testimonial in itself!

Also, the material was very professional and appropriate. Because of it being a company event we didn’t want any profanity or off-colored jokes. His overall presentation was extremely well received and his overall appearance was professional. Loved the way he mingled with the crowd before the show. It helped make the guests feel comfortable and it was a personal touch which made them feel connected when it came time for the show.

I saw Steve’s website and thought he might be fun. I didn’t know what to expect since I had never seen Steve’s show before so I was somewhat nervous on how the group would react. As Steve worked the room prior to dinner I could tell that the group was really enjoying his magic. After dinner Steve performed his show and the group really got into it. He was very entertaining and funny right from the get go. The hour or so performance flew by. Everyone in the group really enjoyed the evening. Steve was great to work with and very accommodating to our group right from the beginning. For a night of fun and laughs I would highly recommend Steve for your group.”

“I was assigned to plan a company recognition banquet for one of our locations. This included everyone from corporate executives to warehouse personnel along with spouses. My fear in the early planning stages was that this diverse group would not connect and it would be an awkward and miserable evening. Once Steve began interacting with the guests during cocktail hour everyone relaxed and soon the room was filled with laughter through dinner and the show. I felt Steve’s act which includes some audience participation and his interaction with the guests during cocktail set the tone for a great evening.

“Dear Steve. Thank you for taking time away from your weekend to perform for the children at the JDRF 7th annual Family Retreat event at the Millennium Hotel. I saw smiles on every face and heard lots of laughter from all 200 of these kids. It is a special event for families who are coping with a child with type 1 diabetes. The Retreat is more special because of your magical entertainment. Thanks again and I hope you will be able to participate with us again in 2011.”
