Then he proceeds to entertain the next small group, continuing this process with small groups throughout the event. This service is widely recognized for its effectiveness at receptions, for breaking the ice and generating enthusiastic feedback. Apart from receptions, it’s also common to perform at one table at a time, before or after dinner. - ![reception-entertainment-2-1](https://mentalistjesse.com/hs-fs/hubfs/reception-entertainment-2-1.webp?width=1920&height=1080&name=reception-entertainment-2-1.webp) **Global Association Reception** - ![reception-entertainment-3](https://mentalistjesse.com/hs-fs/hubfs/reception-entertainment-3.webp?width=1920&height=1080&name=reception-entertainment-3.webp) **Fundraiser for Bohler Engineering** - ![reception-entertainment-4](https://mentalistjesse.com/hs-fs/hubfs/reception-entertainment-4.webp?width=1920&height=1080&name=reception-entertainment-4.webp) **Country Club Member-Member Event** - ![reception-entertainment-1](https://mentalistjesse.com/hs-fs/hubfs/reception-entertainment-1.webp?width=1920&height=1080&name=reception-entertainment-1.webp) **Award Ceremony** Do you want your attendees to look as mystified as the people in the images above?

There are too many corporate events to fit here, but examples include conference welcome/farewell receptions, product launch after-parties, client appreciation events, company holiday parties, award ceremonies, retreats, company milestone events (e.g. company anniversaries).  - What kind of fundraising events is this entertainment popular for? Jesse's magic/mentalism for annual masquerade balls, annual fundraising galas, annual fundraising soirees, and annual donor recognition events. However, there are other similar events Jesse does. Use the contact button at the top of the page to inquire about your specific event.  - Can this entertainment fit into milestone birthday celebrations and destination weddings? Yes. The reception entertainment also works for destination anniversaries and other private parties. However, Jesse generally does the roving format when there is a reception or cocktail hour at a milestone birthday party or destination wedding. If your private party is in Philadelphia, you can see specific examples of Philadelphia venues where the magic was performed on the [Philadelphia magician page.](https://jessedameron.com/) - What does Jesse need from me to make the reception entertainment work? If you are doing the roving/walk-around format of entertainment, he does not need anything from you at the event. He literally just shows up and makes it work. You only do the adminiatrative work of reading/signing an agreement and submitting payments. If the event is a fit for this service, then will be no logstical requirements.  ## Testimonials ![Corporate-Event-Manager-headshot](https://mentalistjesse.com/hubfs/Corporate-Event-Manager-headshot.webp) “All the guests left overjoyed!” Valori Zaslow, Senior Event Manager, ReEvent LLC ![gala-founder-headshot](https://mentalistjesse.com/hubfs/gala-founder-headshot.webp) "The guests at our gala cheered in delight, gasped in wonder, and were stunned by sheer awe!"
