Feedback from Phil Collins Concert VIP Event January 2019 Last night I performed for the VIP function at the Phil Collins concert at Adelaide Oval. It was a great night and I had to share the feedback received. The VIP events are held in every state that is having the concert and magicians have been booked for all these events across Australia and NZ. This is what I received from the Agent who booked me the following morning. "FYI - great feedback mate, your the only one I’ve received such great feedback for this tour. I want to thank you for being so great." and this is the feedback the agent received from the Dainty Group.... "I was inspired to send an email to you immediately because George was beyond outstanding and exceptional. His professionalism and his approach with our guests was absolutely fantastic. We would be delighted to hire him again next time we are in Adelaide for a show. Again thank you, please let him know of our gratitude for having him on board!" Angelique - VIP Functions Co-ordinator Teg Dainty Hi George, I just wanted to say thank-you for your amazing work at last night’s trade show. You were extremely engaging and worked through the attendees beautifully! I have received great feedback today from fellow Capricorn staff and also Capricorn Members who attended and spent a little time with you across the evening. You were extremely well presented and your professional approach was greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your efforts and I hope we can utilise your services again in the near future. Shane McNair Capricorn George Stas helped us out with shooting visual "magic" effects on a Hollywood Blockbuster feature film called "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone", starring Jim Carrey and Steve Carell. His passion and professionalism allowed us to get what we needed with a minimum of fuss. We are looking forward to working with him again in the future! Rising Sun Pictures We asked George to travel to our hometown of Sydney this year to perform at the MFAA Convention, after performing for us last year at the same convention in Adelaide. The 2013 MFAA Convention in Sydney was a hit and George was the talk amongst all the delegates! George sure knows how to pull a crowd and keep them with an abundance of magic tricks that were simply captivating and engaging, everyone just wanted to see more and more. He performed close up magic tricks, including card tricks, illusions and simple mind boggling tricks that left you questioning how the hell does he do that! This is our second time having George man our stand and I would certainly recommend him for any organisations wanting something fun and interesting at any staff or corporate event. We will definitely be having him back again next year. THANKS GEORGE! NextGen.Net Hi George Thanks for Saturday night. Everyone had a good time and have commented on how good you were! Hopefully we can work with you again in the future. Renee Savills Australia Hi George, Thought I'd drop you a line to let you know how impressed everyone was with your walk around magic at our Christmas function. It was new and something different to entertain people with and I am still blown away by the rubber band trick! I would definitely recommend your walk around magic performances to anyone wanting to provide fun and entertainment that is a little different to the usual Christmas function activities. Darren RAAF For the past seven years George Stas from Adelaide Magic has been delighting the huge crowds that have flocked to the annual Science Alive! event at the Adelaide Showground. There has been 'standing room only' at George's six weekend shows each year and when the event moved to the large Goyder Pavilion in 2010 and 2011, George attracted over 1,000 attendees to each of his marvellous magic shows which amazed and entertained children of all ages as well as their parents and grandparents. I can highly recommend George to organizers looking to add a real crowd-pleaser to their event, whether it be an expo, festival, trade show or corporate function. Brian Haddy - Coordinator 2006-2013 Science Alive! Over 300 guests at our 2010 New Years Eve party this year were left amazed and pondering over the roving magic George performed. It was an original and unique style of entertainment for locals in Alice Springs and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Thanks George for making the trip up here for the event, it was great! Natasja Rasmussen Lasseters Hotel Casino - Alice Springs George from Adelaide Magic has performed at our last four major client dinners showing skills in both close up (at table) magic as well as performing the traditional style of magic. He has always amazed us with his performances and presentation, we just wish he could make the dinner bill disappear, maybe next year when he will be welcomed back again. Brian Hamill Lasslett Rubber and Plastics (Melbourne) George Stas entertained everyone at our client function from ages 3 to 73. George was a pleasure to deal with through his professionalism, flexibility, clear communication and ability to travel to rural areas. Peter Stock Elders Lucindale George - you were a real hit and great value for money. From all the members at the Community Housing Council of SA's Celebration Dinner a BIG "Thank You". We were particularly impressed with the manner in which you entertained us almost as much as by the magic with which you bemused us. Now can I just see that one again....... Ciaran Synnott Community Housing Council of SA Thank you very much for your high quality entertainment at the Callington Show. It was great to see the audience so involved and amused. Rose Ashton Callington Show Hi George, Thank you again for a great performance on Tuesday night! Lauren Green Australian Finance Group What I did witness was simply memorable- especially when George cut Sandy into halves, now that was amazing! Nat Izzo - Principal St John Bosco School Thanks George for providing great entertainment at our cocktail celebration party.

Rapid Global Thanks George for making our company Christmas Cocktail party a hit! After speaking to several of the guests, they were both amazed and confused with the tricks that you performed!

Brunella DePalo Tayper Enterprises - Your Global Supply Chain Partners Congratulations on your performance at our client's 40th anniversary cocktail party.

Thanks for providing great entertainment to the high calibre guests and dignitaries. We certainly have no hesitations in recommending or utilizing you again for other events. Christina Apostolidis Brand Partners With such a diverse audience, George captured everyone with his wide variety of illusions. Very entertaining and highly recommended! Ann Owen LJ Hooker Strathalbyn George, many thanks for the great work that you did for both the Westland Shopping Centre and Riverland Central Plaza during the October 2006 school holidays. The families and especially the kiddies loved your performances. Many thanks again and we will look forward to using your show in the future. Clare McLaughlin, Centre Manager. Westland Shopping Centre - Whyalla Riverland Central Plaza - Berri Hello George, On behalf of Adelaide Digital Hearing Solutions, I would like to say a big thankyou for putting on such a wonderful Close up and Wandering magic show at our Staff Christmas function. It really broke the ice for partners and staff who had not met previously, and was a good talking point over the rest of the night. (actually, staff are STILL talking about how good your magic tricks were!) We would definitely recommend you to others and look forward to seeing some more tricks in the future. Gaynor Huxtable Manager Adelaide Digital Hearing Solutions On behalf of the Glendi Greek Festival, we would like to take the time to thank you for your performances at this year's festival. Your magic shows were fantastic, we have had nothing but positive feedback from stall holders, parents and children. You made it enjoyable for all ages and never a dull moment. We look forward in having you back next year for another performance. Thank you again for a great show. Glendi Entertainment Committee 2008 Hello George, just a few lines to say a BIG thank you for your performance which was the opening act to our festival. The audience - children, teens and adults alike were enthralled and you definitely had them in your palms so to speak. The magic that I saw you perform was first class, and your props were very good quality. Once again thank you and I wish you well in the future. At some time in the future, I would like to speak you regarding next years festival entertainment. Vicki Philpott Kapunda Celtic Festival 2006 George, congratulations on a fantastic Magic Show. At this festival, I was able to watch the entire performance, and I am still totally baffled as to how you tricks were done. It is always a delight to see the children's reactions and the expressions on their faces. You are an absolute winner at Kapunda. Jill Llywelyn Programme Director, Kapunda Celtic Festival 2008 This year's dinner dance will not be remembered for the food or dancing, but for the entertainment. Your magic and showmanship put a smile on everyone's face. We hope to have you back for an encore. Jared Barnes Adelaide Firle Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Thank you George for your fantastic display of magic at the Prince Alfred College Formal. All guests were superbly entertained and amazed by your clever and interactive tricks. Your close-up magic mesmerised students and left them wondering "How did he do that?" Indeed you were a very welcome addition to this years Formal entertainment." Jack Stephens Vice-Captain of School 2008 Prince Alfred College Thankyou for being part of our inagural 'Playford North Cabaret'. Everyone present, young and old, enjoyed your performance - no shortage of offers to 'help' with your magic. The audience was intrigued from beginning to end. The applause said it all. It was good to see some old fashioned, 'live entertainment', not involving technology. Well done. Lee Hatcher Events Co-ordinator Community Services Team City of Playford It was an honour to have you attend the 2007 Laura Folk Fair and we will have you attend the Laura Folk Fair as a performer again. Your performances were very popular with the crowds. We recommend George to anyone wishing to have him perform at their event. Irene Scott Secretary Laura Folk Fair Inc.
