The crowd consisted of professional 20- and 30-somethings. Rob showed up on time and stayed longer than scheduled, which was so appreciated because everyone absolutely loved his magic. People are still referring to "the card magician" as the highlight of the evening! ... Cool does not even begin to describe his tricks. You will truly be amazed and find yourself saying, "How did he do that?" I would fully recommend Rob for any function with guests who can appreciate real magic.
