"Mont, Thanks for the entertaining night of fun, magic and mystery. I must say that you greatly exceeded my expectations. Everyone of your demonstrations was followed by the question: How did he do that? The soda straw, the domino and the card in the orange were incredible. The hour presentation went too fast-we wanted more. Many of those in the audience came up to me after the show and expressed their delight and appreciation for such a wonderful evening. We were all entertained. Please accept my thanks and gratitude for your kindness and friendship. Feel free to use my name and letter as an endorsement for your benefit."

STAGE HYPNOSIS SHOWS
"Dear Mr. Dutson,
We just wanted to say thank you so much for all your hard work in making our holiday party so fantastic! Those of us who had never before seen a hypnotist were quite impressed and had such a great time!
We have heard nothing but praise for your show and those that were involved say they had a good time even though they don't remember much! One young man had a DVD of the show purchased for him and he watches it when he and his friends get together and still have a good laugh!
Thanks again for helping make our party such a success and we look forward to having you at another event later this coming year! (I'll contact you later in the year about your availability dates.)"
Sincerely, A. Knott, COSTCO Wholesale
"Mont, Thank you for helping to make our Summer Party such a huge success! You were, by far, the best entertainment that we brought in and my only regret is that we didn't put you on first when there was a bigger audience...I was able to catch about 20 minutes or so of your act and it was such a delight to see my co-workers acting silly on their "Hawaiian Vaction". Next to the small lines at the water park, your hypnotist show was the highlight of my evening. Those who heard about it the next day wished they had seen it! Thank you again and we will definitely keep you in mind if we decide to do something similar at a future company event!"
- S. Santiago, Omniture Inc.
"Thanks for the great hypnosis show you did for our company party. Everyone had a great time! The next day at work, everyone was talking about it all day. They had a great time. Thanks for helping to make our company party a success!"
-P. England,Lake Pointe Property Management
"Dear Mont, We just wanted to thank you for the great job you did at our Patient Appreciation Party on Feb. 26, 2007. Our patients-young and old-were very entertained. When we have these events that involve families, it is always a concern that the material may be questionable. Your show was very profesional and family friendly-not to mention a whole lot of fun. Who knew our very own doctor could be such a wild man? Thank you for the great show. Your friends,"
-Dr. J Pobanz and Team
"Mont, Thanks for the wonderful job you did entertaining our family reunion group with your hypnosis show. Everyone - young & old - so enjoyed the show and we were all so proud of our STARS! We got so many compliments on our choice of entertainment for the reunion. We wanted something special and out of the ordinary. You really fit the bill and no one was disappointed.
Thanks for a great evening"
- S.Brune
"We enjoyed your demonstration on the art of hypnotism and we didn't realize we had so many fantastic actors among our employees. It was nice to have something different for the program portion of our party as it was getting very humdrum and the employees were not interested in attending as it was always the same old thing. Thanks to your fabulous program maybe next year we will have more enthusiasm when it comes to signing up for our Christmas Party."
- S Buhr, PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.
CHILDREN'S PARTIES
"Mont,
Just wanted to send a note of thanks for the entertaining birthday party for my seven year old daughter. Sequoia and her friends had a great time and my husband and I enjoyed the tricks and humor. Sequoia's eleven year old brother and his two friends were quite entertained with your tricks and jokes as well, especially the handkerchief in the baseball sock trick!
It was great to be able to sit back and relax and be entertained as well, any parent who has given a birthday party knows how busy it can be and it was nice to have a break and let you take over for awhile.
I would recommend you to any friends looking for a fun party.
Thanks,"
M Salazar - Taylorsville, Utah
" Just wanted to reply and say thanks for the wonderful magic show. Kyra enjoyed the show and all the other kids were full of laughs. I think the live bunny was a big hit!! The coin with her photo on it was a big special treat for just the birthday girl, great idea. I really lilked the way you were so relaxed and didn't rush through the show and it was nice you waited for all the children to show up even though they were a few minutes late. Giving the kids a shaped balloon (animal), M&M's and a coloring page was a big help for me because I didn't have to worry about party favors. Kyra loved getting the hand written thank you in the mail and the picture of you, and she will always have great memories of her 5th birthday. Thaks a bunch what a great show!!!"
-E Jensen
"Mont was a delight to have at our event. His show is geared towards children and they absolutely loved his sense of humor and his simple yet impressive magic tricks. Mont was able to keep the kids engaged from the beginning to the end of his act. He even had little handouts for the kids and let thme pet his live bunny. I would recommend Mont Magic to anyone who wants their children to have the time of their lives."
- W. Despain, Bluffdale, Utah

It was a fun evening for everyone and I didn’t have to plan anything – you did it all!

They loved having you and they loved having the whole thing. It was great!" - Lindy Call, Winner School

We hope to see you again."

"To whom it may concern, Mr. Mont Dutson of...Moberly, Missouri performed a magic show for our school on March 26, 1984, as part of the festivities planned for READING IS IMPORTANT WEEK. It was requested that his presentation last approximately 45 minutes and the he highlight the part reading plays in learning and performing magic.
Mr. Dutson met both objectives. His presentation was expertly prepared and very polished. The student body and staff enjoyed it tremendously. He was very flexible to work with in the planning stages and was eager to meet our requests.
Parkade School has approximately 600 students. Mr. Dutson was in complete control during the entire presentation and had the students responding to his every wish.
I highly recommend Mr. Mont Dtuson as a professional entertainer. Sincerely,"
-S. Demming, Principal, Parkade Elementary School, Columbia, MO 1984
