. . . thank you for performing at our summer outing . . . we thought your performance was top quality. The audience truly enjoyed both your magical talent and the humorous way in which it was presented. . . . we received many compliments on the hiring of you as entertainment at the outing. One long-time employee remarked: "I thought he was terrific!! And as I am sure I told you - I like neither magicians nor stand-up comedians." You certainly won her, and anyone else who was a skeptic, over. Everyone seemed to enjoy the way you kept the whole crowd involved. . . . Your performance definitely exceeded our expectations both in the skill level you possessed as a magician and in the way you worked with the audience. You kept us laughing and also interested in what was going to happen next. You are an impressive illusionist and we really enjoyed how your comedy act seemed to be geared towards the audience. You had a tough crowd to please and succeeded effortlessly at doing so. We will certainly keep you in mind for entertaining our folks at future outings. Thank you again for a great show.

This year, we decided to try a new angle at a trade show . . . . Bringing on Andrew Pinard was the best thing we could have done. His experience and expertise in this field were the guiding force as we trudged through uncharted waters. He was there from start to finish—helping us brainstorm and asking all the right questions. Andrew's knowledge and professionalism were just what we needed to enable us to come up with a solid plan for the show. . . . His performances were all tied in to our business and what we do. Having custom-designed magic for our company was more than we ever expected. The performances allowed our staff more time to speak directly with potential customers and explore leads. Not only did we increase traffic, but visitors actually left with more knowledge of what we do and how we could help them. We even had some repeat visitors from years prior tell us how impressed they were with the performance and actually learned more about our services. Andrew really took our booth and our presence at the show to the next level and showed us what we are capable of. . . .Thanks for everything Andrew, we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Unadilla Valley Central School hosted magician Andrew Pinard this past May [2008], and it was a rousing success! Our students are still talking about magic, and our librarian mentioned that there was subsequent rush on any books on the topic!  Not only did Mr. Pinard perform for two school assemblies and an evening community event, but he took the time to do some 'hands on' magic tricks in between venues for some of our curious students. The performance was booked as a shared venue between our school and our local Art Forum, and the board members for the Art Forum were very impressed and enthused with the results.  Andrew is extremely professional, and has a tremendous rapport with students and adults alike.  It was definitely one of our most successful endeavors here at Unadilla Valley! I personally participated in one of the magic tricks and I still have adults asking me how we pulled it off....magic transcends age, and young and old alike are still enthralled by the craft, and Andrew Pinard is one of the most proficient in the art!

Our students were focused and really into the show. Andrew did a fantastic job reading the audience and playing/performing to their attention span. (They very much appreciated when students were intrigued by something that popped up out of your case, you recognized the children were curious about that item and used it right away as opposed until a time later in the performance when you had perhaps planned to use it). Andrew was very funny and age appropriate for our 3-6 year old students. Our students and staff loved the vast amount of audience participation; we look forward to Andrew's return to our school next year.

Thank you for your wonderful performance for our staff and family members. . . . Many people commented on how much they enjoyed your performance. You have a natural way of engaging people, and making them a part of the show. . . . Your show gives people the opportunity to rekindle that sense of wonder we all had as children.

Andrew Pinard’s magic show was a great addition to our Christmas Break activities here at Loon Mountain.  His show was not only a great magic show but it was funny and interactive.  He had the kids laughing and dumbfounded with his “sleight-of-hand” tricks as well as the kid’s parents.  His magic show is well worth adding to your events list whether it is for children or adults.  I got great feed back from the guests and other Loon employees and we are looking to get him back here to Loon Mountain in the future.  From myself and the rest of the Loon staff, thank you Andrew.

Andrew's show was a great fit for our Town and Summer Reading Program.
Reliable sources have told us that the kids at the beach the next day couldn't stop talking about 'Alejandro's Olde Tyme Magik Showe.' Andrew has a fantastic way of being humorous in ways that hit the funny bones of both adults and young children. And of course, his abilities as a magician are first-rate. We will surely keep him in mind for future events.

Andrew Pinard can keep a young restless crowd and their parents entertained for an hour or more with his wonderful stage presence and zany humor. Excellent is the only way to rate Andrew in effectiveness, quality, and availability in promotion material organization of pre-performance, detail and cooperation. Andrew is a very talented magician and extraordinarily fine entertainer. He showed his professional side but maintained a humorous good nature, bantering with the crowd, even the very young. Andrew showed his fun side in his ability to blend into the pre shows activities teasing the audience and going along with all activities as if it was rehearsed. Andrew Pinard is extraordinary and a real class act. A perfect opening for any Summer Reading Program!
