I hired Magical Katrina to perform at my launch party event of Santa Barbara Tours & Experiences held at Oppi'z on State Street in Downtown Santa Barbara. She and I methodically worked out a plan for what would work best for that evening, which was a combination of close up magic and a stage show. Katrina is a true professional and knows how to read her audience, especially when it comes to picking the right guest for the right trick. Every guest was totally engaged and enjoyed every minute of it. I also really love how she injects comedy into the show. It was a perfect night out for everyone! I highly recommend Magical Katrina and will be working with her for future events.

-Joseph S.

We hired Katrina for our wedding reception because we wanted something a little different. Everyone loved her! She had a lot of fun up close magic and gets people involved. We had a few friends asking for her info afterwards so they could hire her for their own events. Highly recommend!!

-Danielle C.


“Katrina was hired for my friend's Holiday Party, which I helped him plan. He decided to go all out with a live jazz pianist, open bar service, food and of course a magician. He can be very extra and that is why he has been my friend for three decades!” -Janet K.

Magical Katrina was a doll and added to that extraness of the party. She was definitely a fun part of the evening. Katrina worked with what my friend wanted, which was an ice breaker for his clients, close friends and family. She was perfect in how she mingled with the guests as if she were one of the guests. Katrina did a couple of magic tricks for me including one where I had to draw my favorite animal on a card. Now mind you this party had an open bar, so my drawing skills were a little wonky which would have been the same if I wasn't drinking. I'm not going to tell you how the rest of the trick went because I don't want to spoil it for you. But it was pretty amazing and we all got a laugh later about the animals that we drew on the cards. Magical Katrina did add a great flair to my friend's holiday party. Many of his clients and are close friends said to him "Wow, you really went all out and got a roaming magician? That's pretty classy! She was so fun!" I definitely agree with what everybody said and she is definitely one smart cookie! I highly recommend Katrina for your event or party, she is quite magical!”
