"Drew's act that Saturday was fabulous. He performed for a mixed crowd of adults and children of all ages . . . His interaction with the audience was outstanding. We are anxious to watch this young performer's career. Many remarked after the show that they were sure that one day we would all be able to say: 'We knew Drew when!' "

"Drew was fantastic -- good with all age groups. I enjoyed his sense of humor, which was a positive addition to his program.”

"At our annual medical staff holiday party, Drew spent a couple of hours in room of almost 200 adults, mixing and mingling with physicians, senior hospital administrators and their spouses or partners with an ease and comfort that belied his age. He moved seamlessly from table to table, astonishing all with his polished performance.
"Drew's magic tricks and sleight of hand were confidently and professionally accomplished, with great skill, dexterity and just the appropriate amount of magician's commentary.
"His talent is obvious and his personality and passion for his craft shone throughout his performance. I am certain that Drew will be invited back for a repeat performance on another occasion."

"Thank you for performing at Rachael's birthday party. There was a squabble at pre-school that week over who was going to marry you. Obviously, you were a big hit. One sure sign is that they sat through the entire performance. It's not easy to get a group of 4-5 year olds to do that!
"I was very impressed. You are very professional, you returned calls, you showed up on time and hopefully, we'll see you again at a future Ledgewood children's party. Thanks again.”
Marion Tomasko
"I can't tell you how much we enjoyed Drew's performance. He is a very charismatic young man who knows how to entertain a crowd. The kids loved the tricks and so did the adults. Thank you very much.”

"Drew is totally amazing. We've hired him
for two shows in recent years. He captivates the
audience and keeps the attention of all --
preschoolers to adults! The kids fight for seats
closest on the floor so they can see everything!
He also has a great personality and
professionalism. At times it is hard to believe
that he is still a teen-ager! Watch out world --
Drew is on his way!"
Kim Mullenax

"My son is in Cub Scout Pack 137 and you did a show for us last weekend. You were wonderful with the kids! You got everyone involved even though there were so many kids there – that’s a magic trick in itself! Thanks for a great time. I plan on booking you for my son's birthday party in the fall . . . we can't wait!"
Jennifer Newrones

"I was so glad that Drew had a chance to perform at our summer program!
Drew Murray does a wonderful job of entertaining a crowd with his magic. At our library we had Drew walking amongst the crowd of 200, performing magic and slight of hand.
"He was so professional and had the poise of one used to working with people. Both adults and children alike were amazed with his magical talent, and many nice comments were passed on to the library after the program ended. We appreciated Drew's enthusiasm and professionalism . . . a wonderful thing in such a young performer!"
Caroline Vicchiarelli
Branch Manager

"The children really enjoyed Drew’s enthusiasm! Drew was able to keep the attention of our pre-teen children as well as our preschoolers. In fact, they liked him so much, we had him perform at our Easter Event! Great job, Drew! We are looking forward to seeing you again!"

"All I can say is, look out David Copperfield . . . Everyone loved the show. Ashley hasn't stopped talking about the show yet ('Dad, how did he do that?') . . . Drew has a gift. He'll go pretty far in magic. Drew, you have a lot of personality and wonderful stage presence! We really enjoyed the show. Thank you."

"Drew performed for a family reunion -- excellent performance. Adults as well as children really enjoyed this show . . . Still wondering about a trick. He had great interaction with the younger children -- very generous with his time. In addition to a show for the children, he wandered through the group. We had very good feedback from all the other family members and would highly recommend Drew without hesitation."

"Drew was a student of mine who has the ability and motivation to learn and perform magic in a way that he will even fool me. His dexterity is smooth and he catches on fast. I believe he will go far in this trade and be very well liked by other magicians.”

"I was impressed when I saw Drew perform for the first time at a friend’s wedding reception. I was taken not only by his ability but also his obvious passion for magic and the ease with which he performed in front of adult strangers. Drew’s passion and skill are an unbeatable combination. I look forward to seeing and hearing about the growth of his special skill.”
