We were in awe during the Magic Show. We must have said, "how did he do that?", at least 10 times during the show. Dennis is amazing. We went with another couple and we can't wait to go back with our kids and grandkids. The time flew by. Dennis, thanks for a great experience!

Dennis is am amazing Magician that fills you with wonder and leaves you scratching your head. He is a great performer who keeps you on the edge of your seat during the whole show. He makes his performances very interactive which just draws you in more.

What an amazing magic show! This is the 3rd time I've attended Dennis Watkin's Magic Show at the Palmer House and each time it has been incredible! We brought some newbies from out of town to see the show and they were blown away! Always delightful to se grown adults believe in magic again. We still have no idea how Dennis does it. Loved the intimate setting and engagement with the audience. Thank you for restoring our sense of wonder once again.
