I cannot say enough of what a great performer and person that Merman is. I hired him for my father's 70th birthday party, which I had to plan remotely under a tight time constraint. When the venue fell threw, he recommended very good alternative restaurants and was always there to lend helpful advice during the planning process.
Merman offers a variety of performances that can be customized to fit the needs of the audience as well as your budget. You definitely get more show than what you pay for. As for the party, he showed up a hour early and was well prepared. During that hour Merman was very attentive to all the guests, including myself. You could tell that he is genuinely a good person with a big heart. The guests, ranging from age 4 to 80, really responded well to him and all enjoyed his show. I loved that the crowd was included in the act. The guests still mention how wonderful his performance was--even weeks after the event. Thank...

She was so patient and kind with the children and above all she produced wonderful work! James twisted balloons to the kids liking. I saw dogs, swords, belts, hats, etc. The kids had a blast and at the end that's what it's all about! I can't thank MerMan's...
Read moreMerMan's performance at the Rocky Mount Mill's for their, "A Day at The Mills", was MAGICAL! The people on stage enjoyed the show as much, if not more than the people in the audience, judging from their expressions and that was no small feat because the audience really enjoyed the show. MerMan was funny, his illusions were flawless, and the show was sprinkled with positive life lessons. On top of all of that he stayed after the show to hand out a small magic trick for audience members to take home. He also showed everyone how to use it. Thanks for the great time, MerMan! And thanks to Rocky Mount Mills for having him back again this year! (Last year's show was as great as this...
