“PiP Comic Illusionist's wit is as quick as his sleight of hand in this vastly entertaining show... The ace up PiP's sleeve might be that distraction and misdirection are so much easier when the audience has tears of laughter running down their face.”
Rip It Up Magazine Adelaide Fringe 2010
“I watched in amazement as PiP got ordinary people to do activities with such hilarious results that even their friends were shocked and surprised.”
Herald Sun Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2009
“I wanted to drop you a line and let you know I thoroughly enjoyed Hypnolarious. The evening flowed seamlessly, the music was obviously selected with much consideration toward a multi generational audience... it was a thoroughly entertaining evening.”
Bobby Bradford - Mo Awards Chairman
"Well its been nearly three months since Sydney and our members are still going on about how great you were. As an event organiser I can hope for nothing more than what you delivered (and exceeded) in terms of expectations. Thank you for your generous attention and remarkable ‘services’ and for a night that will long be remembered by all who attended your show."
Sarah Carnovale - Australian Glass & Glazing Association
"It was great to have you there. You were a hit!"
Nicole Latham - The Argyle & Löwenbräu Promotions Manager
“All went home happy with laughs under their belt.”
Silvana Marangoni - Education Program Officer St George Division of General Practice
“We had a great time, everyone was really happy. Thanks for your performance!”
Esther Huebel-Kobilke - Personal Assistant to Managing Director ThyssenKrupp Mannex Pty.Ltd.c
“Now I’m not normally a magic sort of guy and the thought of being hypnotized and made to do unusual things simply terrifies me, you know its not for me. But seriously I asked PiP to do a few tricks at a company function, then I ran into him at the Russell Brand party at the Ivy and then he performed at my 40th birthday party and bugger me if I haven’t become his biggest fan. He’s just off-beat enough to be engaging, he’s talented enough to be convincing and he’s determined enough to become a star. PiP is a magician because he can turn “non-magician” types into true fans of the genre. He’s really good. Use him. If only I could figure out how he does it? Magic, I spose.”
