“What a show and what an experience for our audience of more than 700 which exceeded our single ticket sales goal! We particularly liked the way you involved so many members of our audience by making them an active part of the show. You never missed a beat providing humor, illusion and intrigue. During intermission and after the show the lobby was abuzz with - How did he do it, was he reading my mind? I am totally freaked out! I loved it and the energy was so exciting! You are truly a unique entertainer and we are thrilled that Dayton had the opportunity to experience Craig Karges! If presenters are looking for a unique show for their audiences, this is the one to book!”
Michael R. Roediger, VP Development, Victoria Theatre Association (OH)

“One of the compelling things about Karges is the subdued simplicity in which he creates his magic and the straightforward manner in which he makes his predictions. There are no massive props, pyrotechnics or bombastic music to distract the audience. There is only Karges peering into the shadows of the human psyche, seeing what most of us cannot.”
J.T. Ryder, Dayton City Paper (OH)

“On behalf of the entire Washington Pavilion team, I thank you for your superior work here at the Washington Pavilion. From our initial conversation to the very end of our collaboration, I could not have been more pleased and impressed. The show was an effort on our part to utilize our Belbas Theater and entice Sioux Falls residents to try something new. From their extremely happy faces to the positive comments of everyone in attendance, we've declared our effort a huge success. We have your superb performance to thank for this success. If I had a conversation with a performing arts center seeking reference for your work, I'd be honored to say that ... in every way, I am extremely pleased to have hired Craig Karges and look forward to working with him again. Knowing our patrons had an unforgettable night of enlivening entertainment is something we cherish. In working with Craig, you will not be disappointed.”
Gary Wood, President & CEO, Washington Pavilion (SD)

“Fantastic, unbelievable, amazing, incredible and of course extraordinary. I was never so impressed as I was with your amazing performance. Your show catered to all ages, young and old, and it was clean. Thank you! It’s now been months since your incredible show and I am still getting feedback on your performance. People constantly are asking me when you will be back.”
John Raymond, CEO, Encore Promotions (MT)

"My job, as Chair of the Performing Arts Committee, is to present a variety of shows at the Festival of high quality that will serve an audience from young people to senior citizens. Your show did exactly that!
I have had so many positive comments from people of all ages. Not only was the show a great success,
it was a pleasure to present. Easy to book, easy to put on. A presenter's dream! Thanks so much for making me a success."
I.B. Dent, Chair Performing Arts Committee, Virginia Highlands Festival

“An amazing performer who converts your mind into his own personal playground.”
John Le, WLOS-TV 13, ABC, Asheville, NC

"A consummate entertainer ... He likes to call himself an ‘extraordinist’ - someone who demonstrates extraordinary phenomena like floating tables, metal bending and mind reading - and shows you just how amazing life can be if you’re willing to trust your intuition. Part of the draw is simply the chance to see something you think is impossible. The world is full of wonder, and Karges likes to remind people it isn’t out there to be found - it’s within all of us."
Michael Beadle, Smoky Mountain News

"Think of a number from one to 10. If you picked 10, you've correctly guessed the rating for Craig Karges' remarkable act at Casino Windsor. His act is likely to dumbfound even the most strident skeptic."
Ted Shaw, Windsor Star, Windsor, Ontario, Canada

"What a wonderful experience... the Craig Karges experience offered something for everyone - young and old. The audience literally became a part of the show making it a sure crowd pleaser."
Paul Lormand, Director, The Sequoyah Institute (OK)

"A master showman. Those who crave a touch of magic in a technological world had their wishes granted when Craig Karges commanded the stage last Saturday evening. There was never a dull moment as the self-styled 'extraordinist' apparently read minds, linked rings belonging to members of his audience (and) sent a table whizzing around the stage. How does he do what he does? A careful observer could find no clue. However he does it, he is a masterful entertainer and the Arts Council should be complimented on its excellent choice."
Janet M. Douglas, Oneida Daily Dispatch (NY)

"Mind bending master of illusion who walks the tightrope between normal and paranormal."
Sonoma County Independent (CA)

"Fabulous ... Truly intriguing, entertaining and a highlight of our season. Indeed, several members of the audience came up to me after the show and told me it was one of the best shows we've ever presented. I must confess that my jaw dropped to the floor a few times and I thought I had seen it all!"
Carrie Getty, Executive Director, Idaho Falls Arts Council / Colonial Theatre (ID)

"Karges leaves 'em dazed and confused."
Laredo Times (TX)

"The phone has been ringing off the hook for the past 3 days with praise for your performance.
Your appearance has generated more positive comment than we've ever had in our 11 year history.
I'm thrilled and you certainly can include our Ocean Hills community in your 'most ardent admirers' club."
Bill Frushtick, President, Ocean Hills Society for the Performing Arts (CA)

"Mind games dazzle crowd."
The News Chief (FL)

"We were all thrilled and amazed by your performance. Not only were the things that you did spectacular, but your rapport with the audience was really wonderful. Thank you so much for appearing at the Calumet Theatre. I am looking forward to doing it again."
Dick Hazzard, Executive Director, Calumet Theatre (MI)

"Mystifying ... uncanny ... Prince of the Paranormal ... move over Kreskin, here comes Karges!"
Santa Rosa Press Democrat (CA)

"As for the performance, I'm not sure even the thesaurus has adequate words to describe it!!! I may have to revert to more 'folksy' terminology like ... bamboozled, mystified, puzzlement. Our audience was totally involved in the entire show and almost a week later they are still trying to figure out 'HOW did he do that???!!!! Thank you for a VERY entertaining show, we would highly recommend you for any venue!"
Sharon Davis, Cultural Events Assistant, Polk Fine Arts Center (FL)

"Wonderful ... a tremendous show that was enjoyed by young and old alike. The audience was mesmerized by your illusions and mind-boggling feats. Folks were still buzzing about your performance several days later. I would also like to express my appreciation for the significant amount of time you remained after the show to interact with members of the audience. I know we will be seeing you again in the not too distant future."
Ronald Sherhofer, Managing Director, Olin Fine Arts Center (PA)

"Your performance was spectacular. Members of the audience are still trying to explain the unexplainable illusions and psychic happenings in your truly amazing and astounding performance. We will bring you back! I would recommend you to any presenter who is looking for an entertaining and unique artist."
Ron Koenig, Managing Director, Kirtland Center for the Performing Arts (MI)

"Wonderful ... The town is still talking about your performance. Almost every day someone stops me and says, 'How did he do that?' Certainly you made an everlasting impression on the audience. You have a fantastic show. I can assure you that you will not be forgotten either by the town or by me."
Kenneth H. Burchinal, Executive Director, Coffeyville Cultural Arts Council, Inc. (KS)
