Nicolette & Brett Aisen
The soda can restoration was drop-dead magic. Rooms full of jaded magicians were exclaiming “NO!” and “NO WAY!” During the Saturday evening show, the row behind me made a comment (they were magicians) during the soda can restoration: “The man’s a personal friend of Satan…” and it was meant as the highest compliment. I’m sure it would delight Tim.

Thank you for contributing to the huge success of the 71st annual Columbus Magifest.

On behalf of the entire National Council of The Society of American Magicians and the 700+ attendees of our recent international convention, I wish to thankyou for sharing your entertaining skills with us. Your lecture was practical, informative and very entertaining. Your close-up performance was one of the best we’ve ever seen. And, your stage work on our Saturday gala was truly hilarious. You are a bonafide “triple threat” and I am so pleased that we had you involved in so much of our four day event. If any other producer or convention planner is in need of an act that can help make their event the “best ever”, they need to call Tim Ellis and Sue-Anne Webster. If they need a glowing report on your fantastic talents, they need to call me.
