Matt Cadabra

I recently went to an event with over 200 people, where Matt was hired to entertain during our banquet one night and did a show the next morning at breakfast. He was patient and kind to all of our children and we had every age group there. His act was AMAZING and appropriate for all ages. I was impressed at how he was able to keep the attention of some of the younger children. I have a 2 and 3 year old that loved it! I will be taking my 10 year old and some friends to see his show in Philly coming in May. I have seen several other acts at birthday parties before and Matt by far was the best!

I used Matt for a 40^th birthday party with over 100 guests. He was prompt, courteous and professional. He mingled with the guests providing roaming and table magic. Everybody loved him! I will be using him again this year for a graduation party for which he is doing a show for the kids during the graduation speeches and then magic tricks while mingling with adult guests. I have no reservations with hiring Matt again.

We hired him for our son’s 1 year birthday party and We are very sorry we didnt give the money we gave him to someone that deserved it. He was very RUDE to the kids and guests. We Believe he may have been drinking before he arrived. Very unprofessional. He even threw A KID TO THE FLOOR and sprayed her in the face with silly string. Of course she was crying and that is when I had enough of him and Threw him out of my home. DO NOT HIRE HIM FOR KIDS PARTY PLEASE LOOK FOR ANYONE ELSE.
ALSO Please DO NOT go by reviews on his page as they are posted by friends and Family.
DEFINITELY NOT A FALSE REVIEW Matt!
And i HIGHLY dought all other 1 star reviews are false as well. Unilocal wont remove it because after a person continues to get 1 star reviews there is an Issue with them. Cant go through life trying to Delete the truth BUD.

Matt was hired to do a show for my 6-​year old daughter’s birthday party. The content and the language of his mediocre show was completely innapropriate for a group of that age. I do not think kids should be subjected to observing severed hands strangling the magician, a live rabbit being dragged through and flattened out by an old fashioned clothes dryer, or female undergarments pulled out from under his shirt. When confronted and asked to stop his «performance» because the children were terrified, he felt the need to finish his act with a completely motionless face. Additionally, two weeks after his performance, i had received an email in which I was called an idiot and my nationality was attacked. I highly advise anyone considering hiring this amateur to do some more research and look elsewhere.

We had Matt at our house for our son’s 2 year old birthday party and asked him to please not bring the dummy or do ventriloquism — he acted out about half way through the act and brought the dummy out for way longer than anyone should endure– doing a strange bit of comedy that was adult and made little sense, We asked him three times if he would please return to the balloon sculptures or magic and he ignored us. Several families said their children were ‘terrified’ and some of our guests left.
The worst was he put his bunny into a box and then flat rolled a fake bunny out of the box… this seemed really dark and freaked several parents and kids out. Then he pulled the ventriloquist dummy back out! It was so upsetting and we were so disappointed we asked him to just please stop and we paid him and he STILL didn’t get the picture.
We wrote to him and explained that he was not professional and he may need to rethink how he manages parties and clients and in return we got a very hostile, sick email in response. I do not think this man should be near children. Or he is off his meds. Seems from other reviews he has a history of acting this way.

We have Matt entertain the guests at our backyard party every year. His walking «street magic» act, coupled with the endless entertainment he provides the dozens of kids (who adore him) at our event, …in a «word»…he makes us look good. –The Witt Family

Matt put on amazing show for my sons 6^th Birthday Party… I was very nervous how we were going to entertain 30 kids ages from 4 – 6 years old & Matt had no problem!
My son & his friends had so much fun! I will totally will use him again! The kids also loved the balloons & the real live
bunny! Thanks for great show!

Here is the last of several emails received from this «kid friendly magician».
After Matt received our deposit for our childs party, he was completely disrespectful and unprofessional during the planning process and as a result, I cancelled. He immediately became irrate and refused to refund my deposit. I disputed the charge and here is his response.

I’d like to congratulate you on being a piece of garbage with no class. Congratulations on getting very lucky.
I’d call you a piece of trash to your face or your loser husband’s face.
Your husband is a loser because he doesn’t make enough money that $ 50 is a big problem for you.
Of 2000 clients you are one of the most childish.»
