BJ Hickman is a consummate professional! He kept our young audience enthralled and the older folks present enjoyed him just as much!
BJ arrived right on time, set up and started on schedule. He is clearly comfortable working with small children and they were engaged throughout the entire 45 minute show. We will certainly recommend BJ Hickman to any group looking for a professional, high quality and entertaining show.

We thoroughly enjoyed his show and interaction.

Our event was a Christmas party for adults and BJ was there to mingle among the guests and do magic tricks in small groups at a time.
He arrived on time, introduced himself and interacted well with everyone. Whether a child or adult most are still fascinated with magic. And, this was the case with our group. Everyone enjoyed watching BJ in amazement and then wondered “how did he do that”. Having BJ at our Christmas party was to try something different and it was a great success!!

BJ was fantastic. There was lots of smiles and a ton of laughter.
He held the attention of 30+ kids between the ages of 4 and 8 for the full 45 min. My kids have been playing ‘magician’ ever since the party. BJ was very professional and easy to work with.

Mr. Hickman was a guest speaker at our 10th Annual Dr. Michele Haddad Memorial Seminar. Over 250 from the dental community attend this seminar annually.

“Excellent, interesting, time went by fast.”

On a more personal note, I found Mr. Hickman enjoyable to work with. The audience was riveted to their seats for his entire presentation. I would highly recommend that anyone who treats children on a regular basis attend one of Mr. Hickman’s presentations.
