SEL Magic Camp with Jonathan Ford was inspiring as something to look forward to each magic trick he taught our students. The students and staff were on the edge of their seats anticipating each move he showed us how to do. The program was a success as a show, a workshop, and a service to our community by having students have their very own show at a nursing home.
We would welcome his professionalism and excitement in magic back to Natural Bridge any time.

Ford entertained the crowd with his amazing magic and mentalism, leaving us cheering for more and David (our son) was the shining star. It was the best decision we could have made to hire him for my son's bar mitzvah.

J. Edward Ford's performance is fascinating and entertaining. He has an amazing ability to engage and delight all ages. He will make even the biggest skeptic believe in the power of magic.

"One of my favorite parts of his show (Mindful Mess) in November, was how he engaged his audience and they became a part of the show. Their spontaneous responses made preplanned prediction impossible to produce."

Having been a few years since the last time I has seen a "Magic Show", I wasn't expecting what was in store. I had brought my girlfriend and knew in the first 5 minutes buying tickets was a great choice for our anniversary. We had gotten the VIP package and were treated to a complimentary drinks and appetizers, as well as a half and hour of close-up magic. Mr. Ford was extremely friendly and charismatic host, greeting and chatting with each guest and making for an extra special experience before the main show had begun. His magic was first rate and very impressive. He did an excellent job keeping the audience entertained and the highlight of our night was when he helped me make a very magical proposal to Sarah. (she said "YES" btw..)

Ford created magic in the palm of my hand. I felt like the center of attention.. Something I certainly didn't except. He's magic is about making his audience feel magical.

“His magic held the audience in amazement, from his first trick to his last… With wit, humor, and an affinity for storytelling, he gave us a sense we helped to
create the magic we witnessed…”

"Ford performed for my family and guests at our private Halloween Party this year. His show was tailor made for the event and he worked with us to give us more then what we could have asked for."
~Carol C.
"My wife and I saw Ford performing his show "Out of Sleight..." in 2019 before Covid and he was our only first and only choice for her dad's 65th birthday party in December 2020 and our family Christmas party in 2021. We will definitely hire him again and again. He has never performed the same show twice.

"Ford's "Wreck the Halls" show in December, blended the art(s) of storytelling, mentalism, and magic left us with on the edge of our seats and scratching our heads the whole time."
