Kouroush was absolutely FANTASTIC! I hired him for my twins' B'nai Mitzvah and he was a complete hit with the adults and young people. He managed to keep 25 13 year-olds off their phones for 2 hours. He strolled around and interacted with small groups and everyone was hooked in. He also did a 30 minute show where he brought people up to help with his tricks. He has a great presence and interacted well with everyone. It was also a pleasure to work with Kouroush from a logistics perspective. He answered questions and communication was always clear. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him without reservation. More...

Greatly exceeded expectations! We did not expect him to be so funny!! Truly worth it to get both the strolling and set performance if you can! We talked about his performance for days after the party! Do yourself a favor and book him for your next party! More...

I'd had a fever dream vision of my birthday dinner party including a professional entertainer who could make us all laugh AND dazzle us with acts of illusion. There were a lot of profiles for "comedy magician" in DC, but Kourosh's profile, website, and personalized response to my event listing stood out. He was consistently proactive about contacting me, checking in event logistics, and the fact he phoned me in the first place to establish if he was the right personality for my event and friends established a lot of confidence with me.He kept me updated on logistics and timing on the day of the party, as he was coming from another show, and he was able to accommodate that our party schedule was a bit flexible, and some of our guests late (he had a hilarious idea for a joke for when the late guests walked in during his show).The show itself had my guests and I screaming laughing, and a couple of my friends genuinely perturbed at the powers of this "warlock" - some dazzling sleights of hand (which I won't spoil). Kourosh is clearly at ease with a big group of party goers, he gets to know them, and makes them feel included (e.g. he got me, the birthday girl, up a couple of times, as well as each of my friends to participate). Some of my friends were initially a little puzzled at my insistence on a COMEDY MAGICIAN but they were blown away and messaging me the morning after, "That was the best party I ever went to and that magician was AMAZING."Thanks Kourosh for helping to make my birthday so hilarious and memorable.

Amazing experience! Kouroush is extraordinarily talented and an excellent entertainer. He kept everyone engaged during the virtual performance, which is very hard to do! Highly recommend!

Simply put, Kourosh was amazing! Before booking him for a virtual event (a work team meeting), I knew nothing about him and didn't even watch the video on his website. So I literally had no idea what to expect. But he ended up being so fantastic. He was engaging, funny, likeable, entertaining and most importantly, had mind-blowing tricks. In addition, he had a great Zoom setup that allowed you to see his magic up close. Immediately after he finished, I posted something to our internal work chat to encourage others to hire him because his show was so much fun. If you are considering hiring him, do it! He will not disappoint. More...

People are really magicians? As like, their profession YES! Kourosh is not only an engaging and friendly individual, he is a MAGICIAN. I've never been so amazed (and frankly, confused) as to how he performs some of the coolest illusions and tricks I've ever seen. I've been lucky enough to see him in a casual setting just making people laugh and be wowed, but have also hired him to work an important corporate event with my company. He's absolutely fantastic either way. Kourosh wows in a variety of settings and can really get a crowd going. He goes with the flow of the people in the room and can get everyone around him excited. As a "strolling magician" I saw him constantly pulled into new groups from those who's socks were just blown off! If you're looking for something/someone to make your next event a hit, and to keep your guests talking... HIRE HIM!!! I can't say enough nice things and only hope others have an opportunity to experience his magic. More...

Kourosh, also known as K, is the best magician I've ever seen! I recently went to his magic show and am still thinking about the magic he performed. He is energetic and connects with everyone. The entire audience was in awe during his performance. I highly recommend him and am looking forward to seeing his next show! More...

Kourosh or " K" gets our highest rating.  He has come to our home for two parties over the last few years and just last week.  Aside from the fact that he is extremely talented and completely mystifies everyone ( this means adults and kids too), what sets him apart is his personality which is warm and extremely personable .  You don't want him to leave just because he's such a nice guy.  He makes an effort to expose virtually everyone to his tricks and we can't tell you how many times people say " OMG".   You will have no clue how he does what he does. He is a tremendous addition for an adult ( or kids) party and will turn it into a memorable really fun occasion. He will " make" your event. More...

Kourosh performed for my wife's baby shower and my son's 2nd birthday party. I felt very comfortable in booking Kourosh as he was very detailed in what he could offer and what I was looking for. Communication was excellent.Kourosh's show and talent is top notch! I've been a magic fan my entire life and have been to quite a few shows in the DC area and Kourosh absolutely lived up to the hype. Kourosh is very personable which my guests enjoyed and received many compliments after the show. I would absolutely book him again. More...

Astounding!  K amazed every guest both young and old during his amazing strolling performance at our son's Bar Mitzvah.  As a Willy Wonka inspired theme came to life, K was able to create that world of wonder and made believers of the most skeptical characters.  He deflected all the hecklers with charm and flair.  K took the time to show the young prestidigitators in training a few tricks up his sleeve too.  Overall, K created lasting memories for so many and he brought the shyest child out of their shell.  This up-close experience was cherished as everyone laughed and smiled.  They were able to talk about this common experience around the table and made strangers into friends.  Thank you K!

An absolute must have for your next event!  We just booked Kourosh for our daughter's 1st birthday party and he was superb!  Our crowd was more adults than kids and he really did a great job at capturing peoples attention.  He did roaming magic for a part of the party, where he went to small groups of people, and then did a magic show at the end for everyone to enjoy.  His tricks were really unique and he even tailored them to our party theme.  He incorporated my daughter into his tricks which was a sweet personalized touch.  Everyone left the party amazed with his tricks.  We were all truly entertained!

We hired Kourosh for my daughter's high school graduation party.  It was a mixture of ages from 10 to 83.  He strolled the party performing magic for small groups.  He was amazing!  He was helpful with the party.  He was professional, courteous, engaging, gracious, and funny.  His magic tricks were left people in awe.  He also makes it personal to your party.  He did a finale just for my daughter.  He is funny he will do some tricks and it looks like he may have made a mistake but then it turns out the trick was even more amazing than you expected. Everyone commented as they were leaving or over the next two days how they were so surprised and impressed with K and his magic.  He told me I would not be disappointed when I hired him and he was absolutely correct.  Thank you K!

We wanted something a bit different during our cocktail our at our wedding, so we found Kourosh to perform some magic for us and our guests. Kourosh was awesome - he was easy to talk to, was communicative with our wedding coordinator, and far exceeded our expectations. As the other reviews say, he's friendly, entertaining, engaging, and performs at a very high level. I think it's worth reiterating his skill level. The illusions he performed for us were unbelievable. We've been hearing from our guests since our wedding about the different things he pulled off - even the skeptics and amateur magicians were extremely impressed. I would highly recommend him for any event - his magic brings groups of people that may not know each other together and provides a common, interesting experience for them to discuss with each other. Hiring Kourosh for our wedding was probably the best decision we made! More...

I saw Kourosh at the Barracks Row Festival and he did not disappoint!  He has a super fun personality while performing and people were flocking to him to see him and his tricks.  He fooled all of us each time and we kept following him around to see more, he seemed to be one of the more popular things at the event.  As an entertainer I would hire him if I had any sort of event.  What was fun about him was that he was a little more adult with his sense of humor and magic, at the same time he would switch it up when kids came by.  He's not a cheesy children's magician, this is someone you would want mostly for adults.  I can only hope to see him again again soon!!!

In the last twenty years I've been involved in the planning of over 2000 live events - without question Kourosh is one of the most professional entertainers I've ever worked with. Punctual, professional, and responsive are qualities equally important as his mind blowing magic and engaging personality. For a cocktail reception or strolling through a crowd, you will have a tough time finding a more entertaining guy! More...

My family has hired Kourosh for several parties and also seen him perform tableside at Shaw's Tavern in DC, and he never fails to amaze and amuse. His unique brand of magic fuses comedy, storytelling, and an appreciation for his audience, and he always leaves me feeling like a genius even after I am dumbfounded by his tricks. My only complaint is that he never seems to repeat the same trick twice, so it's impossible to figure out how he does it! More...

Kourosh is the best magician I've seen hands down! He's super entertaining and will blow your mind with many of his magic tricks. He's got this this magic thing nailed down. Its just unbelievable that he's not more well known. I can guarantee for whatever event you book him your guests will be thoroughly entertained all while trying to involve everyone in the audience. Everyone will be talking about the magician long after the event has ended. Do yourself a favor and book him - you wont be sorry. He's the next David Blaine. More...

Kourosh delivers in all ways in which you would hope a magician would. He involves the audience in times which are appropriate, never leaving us bored, entertaining us between acts and always acting respectively according to what his audience wants. I've been honored to have his services at my party, leaving my guests surprised and excited at the end. His performance is classical and at the same time extraordinary, making you go back after your second guess to try to figure out his tricks (I've given up though, I wouldn't try). He makes it obvious he cares about going beyond satisfying his audience by updating his performances and delivering new shows to amaze. Not gonna lie, it helps that he's pretty good looking to add on to his talent but his skills are enough to make you want to hire him for all different kinds of events. Thanks K, for sharing your skills and humor with us. More...

I have watched Kourosh Taie perform magic for over three years now, and he still keeps creating new effects that astound me! His presentation is fantastic and often hilarious, and his mixture of mentalism and sleight of hand are unparalleled. I frequently invite him out to family functions and first dates... Knowing he'll make any situation entertaining and delightful. Just give him a chance to show you what he can do, or simply watch the reactions of his spectators like I love doing, and you'll know he's the real deal. Thank you so much Kourosh! More...

Seriously book Kourosh for your next event.  We had him perform at our rehearsal dinner and he was the hit of the event, that is after my wife and I.  If you want just an okay party or event than do not book Kourosh, but if you want an awesome event that your guests will be talking about well after dust has settled than have K walk around doing interactive magic.  He had our guests at the edge of their seats the entire time and his presence is casual he just interacted with our guests and worked off the energy of the room.  Seeing magic on tv or on stage is one thing, but being part of the trick is just a whole new level of cool.  This is my warning to adults and children, his magic is addictive, if you take part in his magic than you'll want to go back time and time again.  I highly recommend Kourosh "The Magic Man" for your next event, he is more than worth it.
