“Needless to say, he exceeded our expectation.”
We have had Mark perform for our residents numerous times. The first time, it was pure magic. At other times, it was magic and music. Recently I was hosting a Networking event for healthcare and other professionals from the Southern California area. I was trying to think of a really unique experience for my more sophisticated guests. I thought of Mark right away. We've all been exposed to magic before. But I like that Mark's style is not just awe inspiring but touches the heart as well - magic with heart, I say, for lack of a better adjective. Needless to say, he exceeded our expectations. Mark will always be part of Villa Sorrento's activities for residents or events for our professional friends and guests.
~ Carla Chan, Executive Director Villa Sorrento Retirement, Torrance, CA

It was easy to do business with you and such a pleasure to get to know you. I am certain other parties will have as great an experience as we did. Thank you again!

"Mark is really funny and entertaining." I got the chance to see Mark perform at a Hawaiian Luau. Mark is really funny and entertaining. His show is young at heart, local boy style. I took a peek to observe the audience, most with BIG smiles, some seriously watching his every move, and others with their jaw hanging in awe, wondering how in the heck he pulled that amazing trick off. I totally enjoyed his show and I would highly recommend that you take the time and go see one of his performances.

"you'll walk away scratching your head too!" I've had the good fortune to attend several magic performances by Mark and each time I've walked away shaking my head saying, "how'd he do that?"

Take the time to catch a performance....you'll walk away scratching your head too!
