“Scott is a joy to work with. His fun, unique brand of magic fit perfectly with the national re-brand of our prime time television block. Scott’s positive attitude along with his creativity and preparation helped us breeze through our shoot days and walk away with something special.”

“Outstanding! Thank you so very much for the best birthday party a kid could ask for. I don’t think there is anything that could top that show. Thank you for keeping the magic of childhood alive.”

Cheri and Armando Cabral


“We’ve hired many magicians over the years, and The Magic of Scott Dietrich is top notch! Scott’s enthusiasm for magic and libraries is infectious. From the initial booking through to the end of the performance, every interaction is professional. His ability to hold the crowd’s attention, even the youngest members of the audience, is commendable. 5 stars!”

Nancy Kuhl
Program Coordinator


“We found out about Scott Dietrich the virtual magician by accident on Instagram, while I was trying to get some ideas for a virtual birthday party for my son. Boy, was I so happy to find him! He’s very professional, very patient in answering my questions, and most importantly he’s a great entertainer! Our son’s virtual birthday party was a hit because of him! All of the guests told us how they really enjoyed the show and thanks to technology, distance is not even an issue at all. Scott is based in Toronto, Canada, and we live in Southern California. Thank you again Scott Dietrich, we hope to work with you again in the future!”

“Thank you for an awesome virtual magic show for the children to celebrate my daughter’s birthday.  The kids thoroughly enjoyed it, as did I.  A parent sent me a message afterwards saying her daughter had been performing magic tricks for 45 mins non stop.  Temi commented that it was the best birthday ever.  Again, thanks for making her day special.”

“Scott was referred to me while I was looking to add some entertainment to our annual Kid’s Holiday Party here at Kobo. We had a wide age range of kids attending, and I was worried that some of the kids may be too young/too old to enjoy the show. As it turns out, Scott captured the attention of everyone in the room, and had us all laughing and getting involved (including the exec team!) While we had some other fun activities at the party, Scott’s performance was the highlight of everyone’s day. My only worry now is how we can possibly top this for next year’s party!”

Katie Pagett, Talent Acquisition Specialist, Kobo Inc.


We can all use a little magic in times like these! We have had Scott Dietrich perform at sooo many of our family and business functions, and I can say first hand he is by FAR the best in town!
Check him out…you’ll have a blast!!!

“Scott was terrific! He had the kids on the edge of their seats all night. We will be looking for opportunities to have him back.”

“Hi Scott, I just want to thank you for entertaining the kids; they all had a wonderful time. Even though I planned on getting other things ready while you were entertaining, I couldn’t stop myself from watching the show. The kids still talk about it. I would recommend you to all my friends.”

Again thank you for a wonderful show,

Alicia Miner


“Good Morning, I just wanted to take this opportunity on behalf of all those who attended our recent Kenworth Toronto Children’s Christmas Party, in particularly from the children, to say how much everyone enjoyed Scott’s performance. (He seemed to be enjoying himself too!). He managed to attract every child in attendance to, gradually, come to the stage area and participate, and then held their attention throughout, thus ensuring the best behaved group of children I’ve ever witnessed at one of these events. He kept things relevant to his audience (mostly between 4-8) with tricks involving icons like Sponge Bob Square Pants and had about a dozen of the kids (of all ages) help him in his act. To my mind, it was the best children’s entertainment we’ve ever had at one of these parties. Please pass along these sentiments to Mr. Dietrich on our behalf.”

Thank you,

Marc Parfect

“Thank you for bringing your wonderful show to our End of Summer Celebration! The children (and parents) thoroughly enjoyed themselves during your show. You could tell by their laughter and their eagerness to participate! It was a fun-tastical show full of excitement and comedy with a little sprinkle of education. Your show opened their eyes to a world of magic and sleight of hand. We hope to have you (and Houdini the bunny) come back to visit us soon! Keep up the great work!”

“Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto is delighted that you will be performing at our Annual Holiday Party again this year. You have been extremely generous with your time and energy over the past 3 years. Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto provides a place where men, women and children with cancer and their families and friends join with others to build social and emotional support. The success of our program depends on the strong partnerships Gilda’s Club has with community partners like Dreams Revealed. Thank you for the generosity you have shown our community. As you have before, you will be providing your always entertaining magic show for the children of Noogieland. Holidays are always trying times for our members but people like you make the holidays that much easier. This was hugely demonstrated with all the smiles and happy memories your past shows generated. Your kind and generous spirit is always felt in the way you interact with the children. Everyone (adults included) watches with fascination and amazement at the magic tricks you share. You are always so great to work with we are thrilled to have you back again this year.”

“I would like to thank you once again for providing such a spectacular comedy magic show. The kids and counselors were thoroughly entertained by your amazing stories and magic tricks.

“Scott Dietrich performed at the Weather Network’s Children’s Christmas Party and was outstanding! I can honestly say, without a doubt, that his show was indeed the highlight of our party. He easily held the attention of the audience both young and old, and had them gasping at every trick he performed. The awe struck look on everyone’s face was so priceless. As the organizer of the event, I was emphatically thrilled with the success of our party, and I attribute most of that to Scott’s amazing performance.  Scott was so great and such a pleasure to work with that I booked him for 2 other events before I even saw him perform!

Thank you Scott for everything! You are truly a very talented performer and a great person to know.”

“Scott, You offered the kids (and adults too!) a great interactive show with lots of laughter. We heard from parents and kids that it was perfect for our young children. It was just the right length and really a lot of fun for the kids. It was the first time we did a Fundraiser Magic Show at our School. The first show we had about 250 people with about a 140 of those kids. The second show we had about 150 people with about 90 kids. We made a PROFIT OF $1,616. I’m sure that next year’s School Council will be giving you a call for a show.

Thanks so much!!! I look forward to working with you again.”

Regards,

Patti Smieja

“We have been fortunate to have Scott showcase his talents here at our Montana’s for four years and running. He has not only become children’s favorite, but the parents even look forward to seeing him. Scott is fun, very outgoing and kid friendly. Not only do the little ones look up to him because of his height, but because of the person he is with them. Scott has been a great asset to our restaurant and has built his own fan club; which means the same satisfied families come back again and again.”
