I'm a starting magician (well, I've been performing for family and friends for s few years) and this guy is absolutely great. His handling and sleights are great, his misdirection is of the best, and of course and perhaps the most important, he PRESENTS a trick fantastic and builds a great routine around it. I wish he would live a litle closer to Belgium so I could enjoy a performance of him. I know how most of his tricks go, but I just want to see and hear him PERFORM :)

Whit is a fantastic performer. I love his slow southern drawl. He definitely uses it to his advantage. You can do the same tricks, but it would be practially impossible to get the same effect. Nice job, Whit.
I saw Whit perform in Texas last year. He is one of the most entertaining performers around.

It is great to watch the master in action. Whit's stage presence and warmth alone are worth watching. In addition the magic is wonderful and compelling.
