| Joe is just amazing. I still can't see how he does what he does. It is a joy to see him perform and absolutely make people go agape.

How did he do that?

| What an evening to remember. My wife and I took a co-worker who had never seen a magic show before. Joe presented impressive magic that happened right in our very own hands. It was a delight to watch the ease of skill Joe displayed. For weeks after the show, our co-worker repeatedly stated, “How did he do that?”
Thank you for a wonderful evening.

| Both the performer and material were excellent. Entertainment appropriate for any group. I'd grade it about a 93 (out of 100). My only complaint was that the stage area could have used better lighting. |

| How many times can you say, "How did he do that?" After every act, I was shaking my head in amazement. Joe presents a great show suitable for all ages. |

| Joe is a great entertainer. His charm is witty and he his slight of hand is astounding. He often leaves you with the question, “How did he do that?” But if he told you it would not be “Magic”. |

Great way to spend an evening in Atlanta!

| Joe Turner's Shenanigans is a deceptively entertaining return to the art of Parlor Magic for adults .
Greeting spectators at the door to the lounge in an upscale hotel, Mr. Turner seems like a pleasant and unassuming fellow. However once the show starts, he becomes as polished and professional as any big city entertainer. Calling each member of the audience by name as he involves each in some entertaining diversion, Mr Turner combines deft sleight of hand skills with humor and reminicences of other magical performers.
Magicians will enjoy his inside jokes and references as well as the personal spin he brings to some traditional presentations. Non-magicians will be outright amazed (as many were the night I saw the show)!
For 60 minutes, Mr Turner mixes classics of silks, ropes, money, linking rings, balloons, and the amazing vanish of a spectator's finger ring with music in a well-rehearsed production, yet keeps it looking fresh and original. Even when a deck of cards makes an occasional appearance, it isn't for the usual "pick a card" effect".
The hotel Library, where the show was held, lends itself to a feeling of intimacy, and the cabaret-style seating and bar service had everyone enjoying themselves, even during the pre-show wait. Consisting mostly of local couples and out-of-town visitors, the audience was friendly, receptive and appreciative of Mr. Turner's skills.
After the show, Mr. Turner chatted with guests and even performed a private close-up effect before packing to leave for the evening.
Mr. Turner has developed a strong following in magic-starved Atlanta mostly through positive (and well-deserved) word-of-mouth on Shenanigans. He should be commended for helping revive a neglected performance style in a fun, classy and affordable venue.
If you're lucky enough to be in Atlanta for the one-night a month he performs the show, don't miss it. |

| I went to Joe Turner's Shenanigans show at the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead with my husband and a group of friends for a fun night out, and we were not disappointed. I have seen a couple of other magician's before, but they did not amaze me like Joe. He treated his audience with respect, so I enjoyed volunteering when he called on me. Everyone at our table kept looking at each other during the show, shaking their heads in disbelief at what they had just seen, or not seen, and whispering "How did he do that?" I can't wait to see his next show!

| What a show! I've seen Joe Turner before. A few times as a matter of fact. I consider myself halfway intelligent. But, how he does what he does is beyond me. Joe doesn't just do cute parlor tricks and he doesn't rely heavily on large props. He's up close, and you still can't see the amazing subtlety of what he does. You need to bring friends, family or co-workers. Shenanigans is a great night out! Your friends will laugh, and you'll have good company as you leave wondering how he did it! |

| Atlanta is lucky to have a show like this one. The only other locales with professional, elegant evenings of magic comparable to this are New York & Los Angeles. I highly recommend Joe's show to anyone interested. |

| I liked the show very much. I brought some friends, and we were ALL very impressed, both with Joe's performance as well as with Joe himself. He's a very classy, entertaining guy and I hope to see his show again. |
