...On behalf of the 55th Presidentional Inaugural Committee, please accept my heartfelt thanks for your role in assembling and heading up a team of ten professional magicians to perform at the Presidential Candlelight Dinners... As a performer you lived up to your reputation as one of the country's premier magicians. President Bush's guests marveled at your incredible feats of magic and mind reading. They also appreciated the extra special touches you created for the occasion. From your stars and stripes cummerbund, to the sponge Republican elephants trick, to the President Bush card trick, the dinner guests were thoroughly impressed by the way you incorporated the inauguration theme into your magic...

"I extend my thanks for your terrific performance at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games opening ceremony at the Embassy of Australia... Your mind-reading ability was particularly fascinating - We are still wondering how you could possibly know the words we mentally selected from the Aussie football book."

"The coup de grace was the remarkable talent of the magician/mentalist Dick Steiner.  It is now three days later and everyone is still talking about his fascinating and entertaining presentation.  Mr. Steiner was gracious, professional and an unqualified hit! ... We have a group of statisticians at AGA that rarely crack a smile and they were actually 'high fiving' each other at the table following Mr. Steiner's presentation."

"Two years ago I was in charge of a dinner at a conference for the Mid-Atlantic District of the Securities Industry Association at The Homestead resort.  Your entertainment was the hit of the conference and I was a hero for having set it up.  This year I was the chairman of the entire conference and made sure we had you back for an encore.  You outdid yourself—the conference delegates loved your entertaining performance.  You brought professionalism, terrific talent, and a great sense of humor to your work.  Best of all, I am still receiving compliments on my decision to hire you."

"I was particularly impressed by how well you did your ‘homework’ on Caller ID and were able to integrate the key sales points into your presentations. The service reps said that your product lead-ins made their job that much easier.  Not only did you provide them with happy, enthusiastic people, but also with predisposed Caller ID prospects."
