"We believe great performers are born, not made.  You can either work a crowd or you can’t.  
Mr. Sturk is born performer." - InsideMagic.com


"I hired John for a Harry Potter themed event and knew he was the perfect choice the moment he responded to my request. His immediate enthusiasm was palpable, and he was many of my guests’ favorite aspect of the party. Everyone was so impressed and entertained! He was an absolute natural." - Emma Lyons, Happy Fish Parties 

"Magic's answer to John Hodgman..." - Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune


"John Sturk is one of the great emcees of our time." - ChiJackie, Tripadvisor reviewer

"John Sturk is the funniest magician working in Chicago. He doesn't even have to try to be funny, or say funny things as to many tedious magicians do. He has funny bones." - Frank Glab, Society of American Magicians Assembly 3
