Brendan was an absolute professional! From my very initial contact with him arranging the evening to dropping him back to the airport the following morning. The way he presented, spoke and mixed with our management and staff was outstanding. Nothing was a problem and he read the crowd beautifully! Everyone loved his performance. They all had nothing but great feedback – a real show they all said. He engaged well with the audience and they all were in amazement at his performance! Lots of chatter the following week after the show. Everyone was very impressed and with such a good choice for the evening, it’s going to cause an issue for me finding someone to top it next year!

We are extremely satisfied with Brendan Dooley’s performance as both MC and magician for our most important event of the year—the National Franchise Conference 2024. He was incredibly engaging, wonderful on stage, and connected brilliantly with all of our conference attendees. We highly recommend Brendan Dooley as the MC and magician for any event. He was simply amazing—engaging, entertaining, and truly worth every dollar. His performance added so much value to our event, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Brendan’s performance at the Gala Award Dinner brought the group of guests together by creating a shared experience full of laughter, surprise, and engagement. His captivating magic and witty humour broke the ice, allowing everyone to relax, connect, and enjoy the evening more deeply. He added a lively, fun atmosphere that helped everyone bond over the amazement and joy of the performance, making the night truly memorable and enjoyable for all. We feel so lucky to have had him with us and he will be back!

Brendan was an absolute highlight of the conference. Brendan struck a chord with so many people, both with his comedy and his personal story. Such a clever magician as well and many delegates commented they had never seen a magician perform live before (or no one of Brendan’s caliber) and they were truly amazed! The evening social function was just the icing on the cake for those that attended that. Brendan delivered an extremely polished keynote that incorporated very clever comedy and one-liners, incredible magic tricks as well as a truly humbling and inspirational personal story to tell. Every single person left the auditorium beaming! All in all, we really appreciated the time Brendan took to research how elements of teaching/students/Oamaru could be incorporated into his keynote. That absolutely gave him the x-factor performance.

We couldn’t have been more thrilled with Brendan than we were. He did such a phenomenal job from start to finish—and he was a BIG HIT! The audience LOVED him. We’ve never had so many rave reviews about an MC before. Brendan was memorable. He kept the audience entertained, amused and held their attention throughout the night. Nothing was too much of a problem for him, he was so easy to work with, low maintenance, flexible with last-minute changes and happy to accommodate all our needs. He was hilarious, read the audience amazingly, targeted the right people, was respectful to our guests and knowledgeable about the event. His talent has no bounds and he easily transitioned from close-up magic in the pre-function space to MC to magician to witty raconteur back to MC – the perfect package. He was the perfect choice for MC and entertainer, he was so much fun to work with, and is the consummate professional. 1,000% would I recommend Brendan as both an MC and an entertainer. I would not hesitate to say ‘go for it, you won’t be sorry.’ He’s just brilliant!

Phenomenal. Without Brendan, these two back-to-back conferences and award nights would not have been the roaring successes that they were! His humour, organisational skills, and insane magic kept the event flowing and the audience engaged. The event went from a little unsure to connected, enthused, and absolutely together. One attendee even grabbed the mic for an impromptu thank you followed by a standing ovation! We’ve already locked him in for next year in Australia before the event had even ended. Don’t hesitate… just hire him!
