"Rob Mendell was just an amazing addition to a festive event we had. He was terrific from the first exchange we had online to setting up the specifics of what we wanted. When he showed up for our celebration, he fit right in. He did individual tricks for our guests which went over marvelously; he was really engaged with each participant. The show for the group blew everyone's mind. Rob is highly, highly recommended."
