        - Chastity Ashley, Super Solo Drummer, 2-28-20 

"I work in television and have seen some of the world's greatest magicians perform up close. Almost always, I am able to figure out the secrets to their tricks on my own. When I first met Paul Fegen, he immediately pulled out a deck of cards and asked me to name one. Naturally, I was skeptical. To my disbelief, he made the card I had chosen instantly appear out of nowhere. He then continued to blow me away with trick after trick after trick. Even though Paul was standing only a foot in front of my face, I could not figure out his secrets for the life of me. Later, I had the opportunity to see Paul perform for a large group of people. I personally witnessed the girls scream in shock at his incredible abilities. This guy is, quite simply, amazing."

" We're very lucky to have learned of the Fantastic Fig through a friend.  He performed at our recent party to the delight of all of our guests, young and old alike.  Many came to me and said things like, 'I can't believe the magician you hired.  I am astounded, and I've been watching him for hours and can't figure out how he does any of it.' We were very pleased with the Fig.  He is a great magician, friendly to all, showed up early and stayed late.  The best thing I can say is he was just 'fun, fun, fun' for our guests.  I highly recommend him!
