"Eric Starkey is
one of the real class acts in magic. He is not only great at amazing and entertaining an
audience, but he does it with a high level of charm. You can't help but like him. A first
class guy and a wonderful performer. You can't do better than Eric Starkey."
- Todd Robbins, Co-Producer of "Monday Night Magic" (New York, NY)
"I
have known Eric Starkey for the past three years. During that time I have
booked him as a close up magician for events all over the Washington, DC
area. Because of the reputation of my event-services for providing magic
performers and magic-related consulting for television, theatre and special
events, it is always imperative that my performers are of a high caliber
that will not only entertain, but also fully satisfy my clients, by working
effectively and professionally within each individual environment. Eric
Starkey has proven to be highly entertaining, reliable and fully
professional in these situations. He is a natural at dealing with people,
and always conducts himself with courtesy and respect."
"When
I produced a regular theatrical venue for magic called 'Wednesday
Wizardry', Eric was my choice for us as a member of our team. Great
stand-up magicians often begin as great close-up magicians, and I see Eric
as having a future in both genres. He’s prompt,
polished, and creative. Best of all, he keeps his audiences riveted. I
would highly recommend Eric as an addition to any organization’s
special event."

"You
more than met the challenge of captivating an audience of 330 Associates
whose ages ranged from 17 to 55+. The fact that all of upper management
stayed through the entertainment portion (they haven’t
in the past) proved you were one of our best ever year-end events. Your “creative
conjuring” amazed us and your interaction with such a mixed audience
entertained all of us – from DC Floor Associates to Vice Presidents!"
- Sue Tylka, American Eagle Outfitters
"Eric
Starkey performed four classic sideshows a night during our Phantom Fright
Nights at Kennywood Park. Eric had a tremendous stage presence and awed the
audience by his illusions and feats of danger. He was definitely a great
addition to our line up. I would highly recommend Eric Starkey for any
company that is looking for a professional and entertaining show."
- Marie
Ruby, Kennywood Park
"Knowledge and
experience, the definition of a working pro."

"Eric Starkey was very
entertaining, yet held great professionalism. We have and will continue to recommend his services
to other businesses. Eric displays a high degree of integrity, responsibility, and ambition. In
addition to his excellent professional accomplishments, his good judgment and mature outlook ensure
a logical and practical approach to his endeavors. Eric would be an asset to any event, and I am
happy to give him my wholehearted endorsement."
- Adrienne Mattar, Clarion University Health Science Education Center
"I
wanted to personally thank you for your wonderful performance at our recent
event at the Lakeview Inn. Your close-up magic and jovial interaction with
our guests truly added a special flair that was talked about throughout the
evening by everyone and truly impressed the guest of honor Barbara Ellen
who will remember this 75th birthday for many years to come."
"I
definitely will be utilizing your services in future events and would
recommend your talent to any potential customers who want to add a special
touch of magic to their event. Thanks again."
- John
W. Cornell, COO / Consultant, “A Memorable Affair”
"I
want to thank you once again for performing at our Rapidigm
Holiday Party in December. The feedback that I received from our employees
and their guests was fantastic. In fact, the only negative comment that I
heard from our group was they wished you could have stayed and entertained
them longer!"
"As
soon as we settle on a date for next year's party, I'd like to talk to you
about performing for all of us "Rapidigmers"
again."
- Rob Sagwitz, Director of Corporate Communications, Rapidigm Inc.
"Mr.
Starkey entertained 450 guests on three floors of the History Center,
amazing them with his magical abilities. His talents were greatly appreciated
by all who attended our gala. We received many compliments about Mr. Starkey’s performance and we are anxiously waiting to
hear whether he will join us again next year."

"For
nearly three years, I have employed Eric Starkey to entertain shoppers and
guests at various special events in Pittsburgh
area Lazarus department stores. He has proven to not only be a top-rate
entertainer, but someone who I can count on time and time again. His
professionalism, ability to capture people’s
attention and skills as a magic artist combine to
create a pleasant work experience."
"Starkey
is a very reliable and entertaining addition to my special events. I
certainly believe he has what it takes to make an outstanding
sleight-of-hand artist. I strongly recommend Starkey for any entertainment
opportunities."
