Barry was very responsive and fits the needs of my organization's event. We're very much looking forward to having him as part of our Jamboree event.

two words: THE BEST! Barry kept the kids laughing and curious of what was to come next. His enthusiasm and humor kept all of us all laughing and he nailed every single one of his tricks (still mind blown over the trick with the little bunnies! )we surprised my boyfriends daughter with a new kitten so we asked him if he could incorporate a trick and present her with the kitten, well he delivered!! He worked one of his tricks into pulling the kitten out of a bag surprising the birthday girl! Everyone was cheering and clapping . We couldn't have asked for anything else, worth every penny! (very reasonably priced too!) Barry, Thanks again for everything you made the birthday so magical!-Casey & Jay More...

Barry is a thoroughly delightful individual and a top notch performer. Both the kids and the adults loved the performance. I'm still trying to figure out some of his tricks. I would use his services again and heartily recommend him if you want to be entertained , challenged and stimulated. More...

I hosted an event at Curry College and had the pleasure to have Barry. His tricks and charisma really charmed our students! Even though the weather turned out not so great, Barry was quick to adapt and continued to entertain! I know that we would love to have Barry again! More...

Magician Barry is an absolute pleasure to work with and he puts on an amazing family friendly magic show! He performed at our Synagogue for a family wide holiday party and the kids were absolutely captivated and so were their parents! I can't recommend highly enough!!!

Barry was a fantastic choice, as his Magic show for my son’s first birthday was a hit. We had 15 kids ages 1-13 and they all were attentively watching the whole time. Highly recommend!

Barry was wonderful! Responsive, professional, funny, and so easy to work with. He came early and fully prepared. He held the attention of ten 8-9 year old boys for over 45 minutes, and we also arranged for him to do a session where he taught them a few tricks - he was really accommodating. He was so patient with all the kid's questions and talking - every time they thought they had him figured out he'd surprise them! Highly recommend Barry! More...

Magician Barry was very easy to work with! He responded to emails promptly, arrived on time, and put on a great show! My son turned 7 and he was very into the show and all his buddies (about 20ish kids? ). He was able to keep the kids engaged and wanting to see more of the show. All of the kids truly enjoyed magician Barry and the magic made my sons party extra special. Thank you, Barry!! More...

I stumbled upon Barry when the magician I hired for my daughter's 10th birthday party came down with COVID-19 last minute.
Even with less than 24 hours notice, Barry still got his stuff ready and came out to perform the show. He engaged the children and their parents. Everyone had a great time, and my daughter was very happy. I was very impressed as well. Barry is great at what he does, and we are so grateful to him for saving the day. I will most definitely hire Barry McDonough anytime, and will recommend him to others. His performance left a lasting impression and memories that will last a long time. Thank you so very much Barry, and God bless you. 🙏🙏🥰🥰
