What an incredible show. Matthew was fun and entertaining and professional. The variety of tricks were awesome and the group loved everyone of them. We were all in awe and couldn’t wait for the next one. We didn’t want the show to end. Definitely hope to be able to use him again. This event was a working lunch with entertainment/show after. Couldn’t have asked for a better magician.

I have worked with magician Matthew King twice. What really impressed me was how he was able to connect with two very different audiences. The first time he engaged an audience of millennials. Most recently he connected with mostly senior citizens in such a special way. We were all talking about how he could make his illusions happen! If you're considering hiring Matthew for your next event, do it!

He truly deserves to have his own show in Vegas. I will continue to prioritize hiring him whenever possible. His reliability, communication, and level of skill are all top-notch. My clients are always happy with his performances, and they ask for him again by name. Whether he is performing strolling, close-up magic, or full stage shows, he leaves audiences amazed, thrilled, and wanting more. I couldn't recommend anyone more.

King was super fun for a large group...skeptic attorneys. He does not take himself too seriously and yet the magic keeps you puzzling it over even the next day. At our conference last weekend Matthew performed...and people were still talking about his magic Sunday morning. This is the 2nd party I have used Matthew for and will definitely use him again.

I hired Matthew King to perform at the Deputy Sheriff's Association's Christmas party. He did three separate shows, and we had over 400 attendees. His shows were great, and everyone enjoyed the magic and illusions. He had a very good rapport with the crowd and performed a lot of interactive magic. I would recommend him for any size party or event.

Booked Matt for a corporate retreat.  Great mix of mentalism, humor, and "how did he do that?" magic tricks!  He did an intimate show for us, where every single one of the 13 folks in attendance was involved in the show somehow.  Highly recommend him.
