"Thank you so much Gerard. You and Mrs. Claus are the hit of our holiday party every year. Even our helpers made a point of telling me what a great time the kids had."

"If you don’t believe in Santa Claus, you probably don’t know Gerard Dietrich.
Gerard has been Santa for 36 years and I’m honoured to have known him for 25 of those years. He takes his job very seriously and when children entrust him with their inner thoughts, he knows just the right things to say.
This Santa is also a professional magician named The Great Gerard. He combines his two passions when he and his wife Jean do mini magic shows as Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
Once children have met this Santa, they will truly believe in the magic of Christmas."

"I cannot express enough how thankful we are that we found you. From our first contact, you were professional yet personable, and made planning our party a breeze.
Your show was "Magic" not only in the illusions, but also in the way you were able to entertain, and captivate the whole crowd; which ranged from children to teens, and even senior citizens. They loved your illusions, ventriloquism, and balloon animals.
Having talked to many of the children this weekend, they are still trying to figure out how you put the paper back together, how the water just kept coming out of the vase, how you made a dove appear, and a few are absolutely convinced that there was a real critter on your shoulder that night! They were thoroughly entertained!
It is challenging to find an entertainer for a night like we hosted, that is wholesome and entertaining for all ages. So for us, your show was a perfect fit. We would absolutely recommend you to any of our other Salvation Army branches, to families for birthday parties, or anyone else looking for an entertaining, friendly, and unique illusionist."
-Jennifer Larlee, Salvation Army
"I would like to thank you for the magic show you put on at our town's homecoming. It was enjoyed by both children and adults! It was humourous, but at the same time there was an important message for the kids infused into it as well, making it stand out from other magic shows I have seen in the past.
The fact that you were able to keep young children, teens and parents all engaged for close to an hour speaks volumes of how your presentation appealed to everyone there. I have had many parents tell me that your magic show was the highlight this weekend for their children.
One mother commented to me that the only thing her kids could talk about on the way home was how exciting it was to see their dad assisting you in one of your illusions. I was impressed with the number of audience members you were able to involve as assistants, as I know that makes it extra special for the kids. I will definitely be recommending you for future events!"
-Nikki Howard, Town of Bluevale
