Ray performed at a 50th birthday party for a friend, and was amazing. His sleight-of-hand and misdirection were excellent, and his audience rapport, humor, and improvisation were an added delight. He opened by walking among the guests and performing for small groups, then finished with a ~30-minute show for everyone. He's great at reading an audience, tailoring his jokes, and engaging those that are watching, even the most skeptical and disinterested. For individuals and businesses in the Greater Toronto area, I can't recommend strongly enough that you consider hiring him for your personal or corporate event.
