Clients reviews about Magic of William Gross

Bill is more than an entertainer... he's a fast friend to all those he meets. Bill serves as the magician for my non-profit agency's annual fundraising event, the Chocolate Ball, with 300 attendees. Bill and I have worked together for well over 14 years. Simply stated, I couldn't imagine my event without him! Bill brings an energy level that can't be beat... his smile, delivery, and overall demeanor bring life to the party and many of our guests have in turn, hired Bill for their private functions. If you are looking for an entertainer who will add spark to your event, look no further than the Magic of Bill Gross!

I first met William Gross several years ago at a fundraising event. As with the other guests, I was quite taken with his magical feats! Over the past 5 years, Bill has volunteered his time and considerable talents to my organization’s annual “Opening Doors” fundraiser. He has become a favorite of our guests and staff. He is the consummate entertainer, combining skill, professionalism and humor with his mesmerizing feats of magic! Above all, William Gross is a gentleman in the true sense of the word. If you want to add a level of class and sophistication to your next event, I wholeheartedly recommend William Gross! Char Schurman Volunteer, Cornerstone Community Housing ~ Charlotte S

My family and I had the pleasure of hosting William for a Halloween magic show, and he exceeded every expectation. From his seamless setup to his warm, engaging personality, his professionalism was apparent from the start. The show was a perfect mix of jaw dropping illusions and thought provoking moments that kept us guessing and talking long after the show ended. He made sure everyone felt included, by connecting with our guests and adjusting his performance to suit the energy of the room. His skill and character made the evening truly a memorable one. If you're looking for captivating entertainment, we certainly recommend! ~ margaret c

The Magic of William Gross was an outstanding show Friday night at Poe’s Magic Theatre located in the Lord Baltimore Hotel. William performed numerous jaw dropping magic effects. His comedic delivery had the audience in tears. We even saw special guest magician the world-renowned Eric Jones open the show for Mr. Gross. Overall a 5 star experience that you would love any Friday or Saturday night at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. Mr. William Gross is hands down the #1 Magician in the Baltimore Metropolitan area. I highly recommend him if you are interested in having magic at a party, wedding or event. Dr. Jo ~ Dr. J

I first became aware of the magical skills of Bill Gross more than 40 years ago. But having lived outside of Maryland, for the past 10 years, I was not aware of how advanced his skills had become! Every one of my guests was thrilled and completely mesmerized by his amazing talent and engaging personality. In fact, several of them hope to be able to book him for a number of their own upcoming corporate and philanthropic events! If you seek a unique and unparalleled talent for your event--large or small--you cannot go wrong in selecting the Magic of William Gross! ~ M C

We originally booked a different magician for a birthday celebration, but he ended up getting sick (thankfully he's feeling better) and William Gross came highly recommended by the original magician as a replacement. And honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better choice! William was great with my Auntie and worked the room really well, getting people involved without making it feel forced. The magic was seriously impressive. There were plenty of laughs, along with several moments when we were all looking at each other trying to figure out how he pulled it off. What I really appreciated was how well he read the crowd and adjusted to the group. It felt like he was part of the celebration rather than someone just showing up to perform. People were still talking about some of the tricks afterward, which tells you all you need to know. He definitely exceeded our expectations and added something special to the party. Highly recommend William as Magical Entertainer if you’re looking for a magician who can entertain a crowd and leave people saying, “Wait… how did he do that?” ~ CM L

An amazing performance by Magic of William Gross last weekend for my daughter's 19th birthday celebration with her fellow Mids in Annapolis. I wanted to do something special and Bill's performance was exactly that! It was so entertaining with great magic that brought smiles and laughter to these wonderful young women who have chosen a path of service for their country. I would highly recommended him for any event. Thanks Bill - what a memorable event for all who participated! ~ Diana V

We had a performance during our wedding cocktail hour, and he was absolutely fantastic. Funny, charming, and incredibly talented — our guests were totally captivated! His magic was a perfect icebreaker that got everyone laughing and talking right away. He was also very professional and easy to work with from start to finish. We’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to add something fun and memorable to their wedding or event. ~ Jacob S

Our wedding guests are still talking about how amazing the magician was! He performed during cocktail hour and completely won everyone over with his humor, charm, and unbelievable tricks. It really brought the group together and made that part of the night so lively and fun. He was also incredibly professional and organized leading up to the day. We’re so glad we included him. We highly recommend for any wedding or celebration! ~ h h

Bill is a dynamic and unique performer who adds flair to any event! He is reliable, punctual, and kind, among MANY other great qualities. Bill has worked with my nonprofit's distinguished events for years and we ask him back every year because our 250+ attendees just LOVE him. Many have hired him for their corporate events after being introduced at our event. You will not regret hiring him to stun any crowd! ~ Gabi S

Saw Will at Poe’s Magic Show in The Lord Baltimore Hotel and what an “AMAZING” show - to my surprise!! I LOVE how he involved the audience and gave prizes to 4 of them!! Excellent magic tricks that leave you wondering ‘how the heck did he do that’?! If you stay after the show, he even teaches you a couple of tricks!! Highly recommend! The Friday night show than Saturday. We even had a special guest, internationally acclaimed Eric Jones! ~ Kim J

William Gross, magical performance at Rob's 40th birthday (July 12, 2025) was AWESOME! He captured the young and the old. He left people intrigued with the smooth movement of his hands. He was so versatile until he performed in large groups, pairs, and individual. I highly recommend him for your next entertainment event. You won't be disappointed.

Growing up in New York City, I remember seeing the 3-card Molly "magicians". They were very entertaining. WELL, let me tell you something. Fast forward to my middle age, I've never experienced REAL MAGIC 💫😂 until I met the legendary William "Bill" Gross while staying overnight at the historic Lord Baltimore Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland last March 2023.... and "No!" we didn't sleep in the scary room. I co-own The Land of Kush, an award-wimning vegsnsoul bistro, and we were at the hotel hosting our biannual Maryland Vegan Eats Restaurant Month launch party. Mr. Gross was in the lobby, just outside the elevator banks, showcasing his magical talent. He had ALL of us (myself, husband, and 11yo daughter, at the time) in awe by his magic tricks. I was so impressed by his performance that we recently booked him for our first-ever Children's Veg Fest which took place on June 15 in Middle Branch (Cherry Hill) Baltimore. He was a hit! He had both children and adults amazed. We may just even add him as a regular part of our program each year. You can't go wrong with this Magician! Book William "Bill' Gross for all your entertainment needs. You will not be disappointed. Blessings ❤️ ~ Naijha W

William Gross is a fabulous, talented entertainer! I hired him to preform at an adult school fundraiser event. Everyone was blown away by his magic and talked about how impressive he was. I would highly recommend William to entertain as a magician. He is polite, professional, and he wears a tuxedo with style. Thank you William for a magically entertaining evening! ~ Brian H

Mr. Gross has been hired to entertain at multiple events, most recently one of our executive's 50th anniversary with the company. He keeps the guests engaged, entertained and he's so personable. He even took the time and did a special card trick that had our general manager's picture on the card. He's outstanding! ~ Karen W

Had william perform for my father's 80th, it was fantastic! Not only was the magic out of this world, but he was a great personality that every single attendee engaged with. Prompt, professional, flexible and just a pleasure to work with and watch. Have no doubt, william will up your event 100%, no doubt! ~ Sgt C

The magic was excellent! The showmanship was upbeat and refreshing. I encourage the purchase of VIP tickets. It allows you to have up close and personal minutes with the magician. At my show the magician taught us magic to go home and show. Everyone I've spoken to wants the same experience. Definitely 5 if not 10 stars. ~ toni b
