"We hired Alex Jay Hamm to provide entertainment at our 18+ basketball fundraising social. Alex's show was well beyond our expectations and his impossible magic will forever haunt my dreams. LOL. For this reason we hired Alex a second time to perform at my daughter Maria's baptism dinner. All the kids were so amazed with the show and Alex went above and beyond and made each child a balloon animal to take home. I would totally recommend Alex to anyone for anything."

"We recently had a beautiful wedding on Lake of th woods. On a whim I hired Alex to be th magician for the night. During cocktail hour he entertained all of my guests and went table to table during dinner as well, this really helped with the wait times. During my speech I thanked everyone, but when I thanked the magician the crowd went wild!!!! They loved him... as did I. I have had so many people ask me for his information. My wedding would not have been as wonderful without his services. I'd seriousy recommend hiring him for entertainment. Bands have been done, and over done. Alex's magic was unexpected and PERFECT. What an amazing guy!!!! So affordable and did I say amazing!!!!"
-Miranda Bowman and Chris Templet
“We hired Alex Jay Hamm for our corporate fundraising event and he was the perfect mix of professional, outgoing, respectful and engaging. Our guests loved his presence and our staff, a fairly inquisitive crowd to begin with, were completely blown away when they couldn’t figure out his tricks! We’re comfortable that he would fit perfectly into any event theme.”
-Karley Middleton, BA / Wellness Consultant / HUB International STRATA Benefits Consulting
"Thank you again for coming out to our wedding! You were a huge hit! People said they had never even thought of having entertainment during cocktail hour, nevermind a magician! Everyone was still talking about the various tricks you did the next day at our thank you party. You blew our minds, If we could do it again we'd book you 3 hours instead of just 2, Money well spent! Thank you so much! YAY!!!!!"
-Chanin & Bobby (Bride and Groom)
"Hi Everyone, Living at the Parkway retirement community is sometimes not the easiest because you realize that you cannot do all the things you did before. But the Parkway Entertainment Committee work very hard at finding fun events right here on the main floor. Last week we were entertained with a Magic Show with a Magician called Alex Jay Hamm. Most of us have been to many magic Shows – but boy oh boy this show was the best I have ever seen. An hour of magic that was so unusual -- We have been to many many magic events (18Cruises) –but Mr Hamm knows his magic. We were entertained for one hour and a bit and you could have heard a pin drop on a concrete floor. In one word the magic we saw was RIVETING…… I am still trying to figure out some of his magic. Thank you Alex – you sure have done your home work and it shows.
-Norma Mulcair (Parkway Retirement Community)
“We had Alex perform at our annual Christmas dinner and he did an amazing job! He was very engaging and interacted well with everyone who attended. We couldn’t stop talking about him afterwards. He would be great for any kind of work event or dinner.”
-Laurence Management Group
"We hired Alex Jay to perform during the cocktail hour at our company’s Christmas party. His work was very well received by everyone who he performed for. He was professional, well prepared and punctual. Alex Jay Hamm makes a great addition to any party looking for a great point of conversation: a pleasure to work with and worth every penny."
-Kirsten Parker (Maple Leaf Consumer Foods)
"Our families, volunteers and I were very impressed with the interactive magic. Alex could captive any audience! Alex put the magic in our client/family holiday party and I would recommend him for any event! You will not be disappointed!

"We have had the delight to be entertained by Alex twice. We first hired Mr. Hamm two years ago for our Staff Christmas party, at which the staff had a blast. His method of personalizing the show to include our guests were flawless. His quick wit and attention to detail kept all present entertained and wanting more."
"We then tried a different concept last year’s event, and to no surprise attendees were disappointed that Alex was not part of the show. So, again we requested that Mr. Hamm come back. It was a spectacular show and the balloons were a hit.
"I thank you for your spectacular show and great entertainment. I would highly recommend Alex to any event with any age group. You are truly an amazing performer. Yours Truly"
-John Lopes (Vice President JS furniture)

"Alex, thank you for the terrific show for my family, what a great way for my brother to celebrate turning 50! You were a true Vegas quality show in our Winnipeg home! You are personable, humble and a true professional! The show was fun and captivating from start to finish. Thank you again."
-Rob Campbell (Vice President Human Resources Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries)
“Alex is a fantastic entertainer. He has tremendous interpersonal skills and is very professional to deal with. We hosted a holiday event with both adults and children in attendance. I was very impressed with his audience interaction and how he developed the show to entertain all ages. I received rave reviews from the group for days following his performance. If you are looking to add something unique and impactful to your event, he will deliver."

“After meeting Alex Jay Hamm at The Silver Heights Restaurant where he amazed us with card magic at our table, I had to recommend him to my colleagues for our business Christmas party. Alex's corporate magic show was mind boggling and he kept us laughing throughout the show. His price is also very fair and I’m sure he will go far. Highly recommended”
-Sharron PughDirector, The Exchange Network
"I arranged for Alex to give a private performance at the brother’s house: I live in Colorado, brother in Winnipeg. This was done easily and efficiently with Alex via email with great success. His close-up magic enthralled adults and children alike. Great personality, my brother said. Fast hands, my eagle-eyed bother said. I knew what he was doing but couldn’t figure out how. Alex will deliver a very entertaining magic show right under your nose and leave you smiling."
-Stephen Foehr, Louisville, Colorado
"Alex Jay Hamm performed at our family luncheon which was a celebration of life for my father. My father was always about keeping a smile on everyone's face and it seemed fitting to have Alex Jay Hamm come and perform his magic show for the family and friends of my father. He mesmerized the children and thoroughly entertained the adults by causing them to second guess the slight of hand tricks that Alex has mastered. To see the family and friends enjoying themselves would be exactly what my father would have wanted."
Sincerely,
-Randal Harper, Hardec Forming Ltd.
"Alex attended our Family Fun Day and everyone loved him. All the kids were excited for his balloon animals and creations and he was kept busy the entire time with requests for fun shapes. He even made a bald eagle balloon animal on request! Alex was a great addition to the entertainment for our day and I would gladly recommend him!"
-Jeannie Arnold, Driver Recruiter, Arnold Bros. Transport Ltd.
"When my daughter and I first saw Alex at the Winnipeg Wedding Show we were really impressed with the tricks we watched him perform, and with his friendly personality. My husband and I decided to hire Alex to entertain our daughter's wedding guests during the cocktail hour which is usually the most boring part of the wedding, while everyone waits for the newlyweds' photographs to be taken. Well, this cocktail hour was anything but boring. Our guests were mesmerized by Alex's magic, and as he strolled through the crowd performing different tricks we saw the rapt looks on people's faces. All evening our guests commented to us about Alex's magic and the phrases we heard most often were, "He's amazing" and "How did he DO that?" We would not hesitate to recommend Alex to entertain for ANY occasion, but we are beyond pleased that he made our daughter's cocktail hour such a resounding success."
-Sharon Danelak
"We enjoyed a magic show provided by Alex Jay Hamm today -- we had a smaller audience from age 3 1/2 to "adult" -- Alex was able to perform various illusions and interaction with all age groups. We enjoyed some tricks to amaze the young minds and some more interesting illusions to boggle the teens and adults in the audience. We appreciated his humour and ability to interact with each individual due to the smaller group setting. The kids were laughing about the tricks and when you have a 3 1/2 year old saying "remember when he did this ... ha ha ha" you know you've made an impression. Alex is someone we would enjoy having visit our group again in the future. "
-Donna Riedel, Grace Church
"Alex Hamm definitely proved he was no backyard birthday magician. He provided magic that was as good as a Vegas act. His close up magic skills were flawless. He was on time, courteous, professional and above all fantastic. We would recommend him for any event."
-Kevin and Roxanne Kaplan
"We had Alex Jay Hamm perform some balloon artistry at our Welcome to Summer event in June, and I do say that it is an art, Alex is a very talented balloon artist and magician, I would definitely recommend him to anyone hosting an event. It is entertaining for kids of all ages!"
-Marge Penner Golden West Broadcasting
"We had Alex do a birthday party show for our 8 year old daughter and her friends. He was amazing at entertaining and engaging the girls throughout the show – each one was able to participate in some way – the giggles and exclamations of wonder were fantastic – the overall ‘glee’ factor was so much fun – we had at least a few mentions of ‘BEST PARTY EVER’ – thank you Alex for doing what you do!"
-Lianne Paturel and Jeff Moroz
"Alex was a perfect fit for my corporate event. The guests couldn't help but smile and applaude! He did a couple of hours of close up magic and he was entertaining and engaging.
It was a pleasure working with him and I would recommend Alex in the future"

"I first met Alex Jay Hamm at the Wonderful Wedding Show in 2015. I wasn't too sure why a magician was there, until we went to five weddings that summer. We got it! We hired Alex for the three hours to perform up close magic at our Cocktail Hour and Reception. The first hour he made balloon animals for the kids (and the kids at heart) Super talented! His magic was FANTASTIC, a crowd pleaser, classy, fun, and mind blowing! Our guests loved having him, and he was the perfect ice breaker. We are looking forward to finding a reason to hire him for another event in the near future.
Thank you Alex!"

"I was holding an appreciation event for volunteers that work with me and I was trying to think of a creative thing to do. I ended up finding Alex from a google search and he was wonderful in working with me within our budget and a smaller audience than he usually does shows for. The volunteers and I just LOVED the show, and found ourselves laughing and trying desperately to figure out how he was doing his tricks. I would highly recommend Alex for events!"

"My husband and I hired him for our wedding on July 16th. He went around to each table during the dinner and everyone loved it! There was laughing and clapping and everyone came up to me with how unique that was and that they had the time of their lives!"

"We invited Alex to perform a magic show for our Laps 4 Life project, which raises money for 4 Manitoba families affected by Batten Disease. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the show and I was really impressed with what a talented and professional magician Alex is! His show was fun and energetic and his magic is amazing! I would highly recommend Alex for a family or adult event. Thanks Alex!"
