We booked Russel for our son's 5th birthday party. Not only did he have the kids in awe and fits of laughter, but the adults were left gobsmacked by his show. He is super professional and great with kids and adults alike. Fantastic entertainment and the topic of conversation for the rest of the weekend! Thank you!!! We'll be sure to follow you on your amazing journey. More...

As VP Education for Atlantic Beach Toastmasters Club, I want to thank Russell, first and foremost, for giving of his time and talent so generously at our club charter meeting.
Wow! Wow! Wow! He is truly at the top of his game when it comes to illusion, mentalism, and generally speaking, blowing your mind. I count myself as someone of reasonable intelligence, able to pick out a fraud or a phony from the proverbial hat. No pun intended, of course. Russell can count himself among the greats, up there with the likes of Penn & Teller. I would highly recommend him for anyone, corporate or private, looking for somebody to amaze their audience of choice.

Mark Schwartz
We hired Russell to do a birthday party for us, with some pretty specific requirements. It was done secretively for the birthday person and she had no idea - even when Russell got here- what was going down.
Russell played his part to perfection.
His show was clever, insightful, highly entertaining and definitely had us wanting more at the end. Not only is Russell great too work with, but he is a real pro!
As a company director, I used to high standards as a matter of course, and if I decide to have either a personal or business gig again, I would have no hesitation in calling on Russell.
There is much more than what he had on show and our guests left much the richer for having been through the experience with him.
I hope to see him again soon

Wayne
After having a serious heart attack, triple by pass open heart surgery, life was a slow careful journey. Everything slowed down and one tends to stop living - too scared to do something, the "what if my heart" thoughts hanging around. After attending a conference where Russel spoke and months of life coaching, everything changed for the better. I see life in a far more positive way. Correct to living. Correct diet (which is still work in progress). Correct positive mind set. I am not great at writing reviews, but what I can say is, having crossed paths with a life saver such as Russel, has meant the world to me. More...
Reply from I Am Russell Fox
Hey Wayne Its been such an amazing honour and privilege to be working with you over the past number of years after your encounter at one of my Glass Walker team builds. Its been incredible seeing your growth as you have discovered your potential, self-worth and value, learning to love yourself and continually striving to become the best version of yourself you can possibly be. This is the gift I as a coach receive from seeing life-changing moments and growth in the lives of those I coach. Thank you for making yourself vulnerable to me, so as to help you grow and become better at life. Stay Gifted Russ
