Read what people are saying about Yishai

“Yishai came to run our Chanukah Avos u'Banim event, and he impressed me so much - both with his kind warm personality to work with, as well as his mind blowing tricks. Totally jaw dropping! A truly wonderful person to have to enhance your special event. Highly recommended!”

• Rabbi Yehoshua Wechsler, Katamon, Chanukah party for Avos u'Banim

“The entire assembly was mesmerized and impressed with Yishai's incredible performance. I don't know how he did it, but his feats of mind-reading and number work (not to mention turning the random numbers upside down to spell out the celebrant's name) was truly outstanding. Pure magic and delight!”

• Robert Binder, Tzur Hadassah, Bar Mitzvah party for his grandson

“WOW!!!! Yishai!! You are awesome! What a show! I still don't know how on earth you do it......😄😄 Totally amazing! Continue to inspire, amaze and make people happy!”

• Dovid Newman, Shabboskodesh.com, Beitar illit, Sheva Berachos for the family of Rav Yaakov Friedman, Rosh Yeshiva of Birkas Mordechai

“We were looking for a show for our family Chanukah party. We were an audience of over 70 people with a wide range of ages. Yishai really fit the bill! The 8 year olds were fascinated by the card tricks etc and  Yishai won over even the skeptical teens who could not trip him up. He arrives very well-prepared, presenting tricks which are tailor made for the audience. Yishai has a very congenial manner and connects with everyone without resorting to glittery vests and pretentious headgear. Does he have ESP? Does he use magic?? See for yourself!”

• Zelda Goldfield, Chanukah 5786, Har Nof

“Yishai was absolutely amazing at our family Chanuka party! His magic show kept everyone mesmerized — from our 5-year-olds laughing and cheering to the teenagers genuinely entertained. He has such a warm, engaging presence and a real talent for connecting with every age in the room. Everyone loved the show and is still talking about it — truly one of the highlights of our celebration!”

• Akiva N. and family, Chanukah event, Beit Shemesh

“We just hired Yishai for a family event and we were all blown away! The crowd spanned all ages and stages, and it's hard to find something that intrigues children yet impresses adults. But EVERYBODY was openmouthed! Yishai delivered five-star, mindblowing, crowd-gasping entertainment that had us hanging onto every move.
Beyond his top-notch skill, his dynamite personality kept the room captivated. He had the perfect timing, wit, and energy to keep the crowd engaged from start to finish. He went above and beyond, staying later to make sure everybody felt seen and had a chance to participate. His combination of INCREDIBLE skill, warm personality, and FIVE STAR service delivered an unforgettable experience.
What are you waiting for? Grab your slot before he's all booked out!”

• Daniel Gleich, Monsey

"Dear Yishai! All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was that real?!! Is your magical spell over? Can I wake up yet? How did you do all those things? How one person can keep an audience ages 5 to 70 entertained for an hour is itself pure magic! The entire show from beginning to end wasn't just magical, it was personal, well thought out and showed that you were not just another entertainer.. You are a person who is looking to make our event awesome! The details about the bride and groom and the jokes were all amazing! We can't wait to do it again. Thank you so much! "

• Dovid Newman, Beitar Illit

"Hi Yishai, what a interesting and exciting experience you gave us with your performance at the Carousel theater festival. My wife Talia and I  were truly amazed with your ability to be spot on with knowing exactly what we were thinking. I am still baffled how you knew I  was thinking of Ganges Khan. Truly amazing. Thank you for being apart of the program. It was really one of the biggest highlights of the evening, and left the audience completely stunned and entertained."

• Jacob Lunon, Actor, Director, Producer

"We had the pleasure of having Yishai perform at our son Eliav’s Bar Mitzvah, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to add an unforgettable experience to their event.

His strolling magic and mentalism, along with his stage show, brought genuine amazement and energy to the room, without ever disrupting the natural flow of the simcha. He seamlessly engaged with guests of all ages, from kids to adults, building instant rapport and leaving everyone smiling and astonished. His card tricks and mind-reading routines were unique, polished, and highly professional.

What really stood out was Yishai’s sensitivity to the rhythm of the event. He intuitively knew when to step in with engaging walk-around magic and when to step back, allowing the singing, dancing, and communal moments to shine.

Coordinating with him was a breeze. He was punctual, flexible, and a true mensch to work with. If you're planning a simcha or community event and want a performer who can uplift the atmosphere and leave people talking long after, Yishai is the one to call."

• Rabbi Rami Strosberg, Beit Shemesh, Professional pianist, music teacher, and school educator

“A huge thank you to Yishai for performing at our Jerusalem Center for about 20 lone soldiers!
Yishai was incredibly friendly and personable with everyone in the room. He took the time to connect with the audience before and throughout the show, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where every soldier—no matter their language—felt comfortable and excited to participate.
The performance was perfectly catered to the audience, and everyone was absolutely blown away. We are so grateful that Yishai dedicated his time and talent to our amazing lone soldiers and to The Lone Soldier Center in Memory of Michael Levin."

• Leora Deverett, Lone Soldier Center Community Coordinator

“Yishai came a few times to the restaurant to do close up magic & mind reading to the guests.
He was always nice & smiling. Knew how to read situations & approach tables at the right time. Sometimes I even needed him to go to tables I was running late to, and Yishai always kept them entertained to a level they didn’t even notice they were waiting.
Yishai is very talented & can do many different magic tricks. He’s great at what he does & I’d recommend him to other venues & private events."

• Elad Kovler, Andalucia Restaurant Manager

“Thank you again for the special performance, delivered with your whole heart, and especially for the effort you put into tailoring the show to the audience.
