"(We) enjoyed a very entertaining
performance by Don Stevenson . . . his show was very well received and
enjoyed by our audience. The show was well suited to the audience he
was presenting to in terms of being professional and appropriate for a
corporate function. Don incorporated audience members into his act,
allowing them to contribute in the various magic acts he demonstrated to the
audience. The constant laughter from the attendees of Don's show very
much indicated that the show was a hit! I received very positive
feedback from fellow employees who attended ....that the show was an
enjoyable experience. I was very impressed with the preparation.....a
follow up phone call by Don to discuss details for the show. The extra
time taken in order to do this enabled a show that was customized to the
audience Don was presenting to and allowed the audience to appreciate the
material he presented as it related to them. On behalf of the
attendees of this year's party, I would like to say that we were very
fortunate to have Don as our entertainer and guest, and would enjoy another
booking with him in future years. I would further recommend Don to
anyone looking for an entertaining and enjoyable performer!"

enjoyed his presentation and would gladly recommend him to anyone.” Susan Haswell, Merrill Lynch Canada, Inc.

"Don, it was nice meeting you and watching as you entertained us for over an
hour. You had the audience attention. As you introduced yourself
stating you were 'just developing' your talents and as you went through a
number of 'attempts', you were excellent and humorous in your 'failures.'
But whenever you did want something to happen, it did so beautifully!
I guess the next David Copperfield! Did you notice after your
presentation was concluded, not one person gut up to leave -- I had to
discharge them, and you know what that tells me -- you were super!
Thanks again Don, we sure appreciated having you perform for us."
