Dear Josh, I hope you are keeping well. I want to thank you again for your professional support at our events in Israel. Your performance was outstanding and highly entertaining. The feedback from our clients and the guests attending the simchas was full of praise. The clients very much liked your easy-going nature and willingness to accommodate their wishes. As for me, I will continue to recommend your service whenever I have the opportunity. For me it is paramount that I can rely 100 percent on my suppliers, we can not leave a Simcha to chance. You are a class act and a pleasure to work with!
Words cannot describe your wonderful work that you have brought to the hospitals. Many thanks and warm remarks have been heard from the children who continue smiling long after your performance. The hospital staff has expressed much appreciation to how you have succeeded in bringing color and happiness to the childrens department to which at times can be very dark and gloomy. There is no better way to share your skills with others, than bringing smiles to hospitals.
B'Hatzlacha!

Hi Chaim,
What's up? Long time no speak. I'm happy to hear your wife's new school job is off to a good start. About your question as to where to find a good magician for the school's Purim party, you've asked the right guy. As you know my wife and I opened a new store in Yerushalayim, thank G-d its going ok. For the grand opening we wanted to have something special to entertain the children. The problem was that we also wanted to keep all the adults interested as well, and two separate entertainers was just too expensive.
We asked around and there was one name that just about every one mentioned. JOSH PHAFF. I was nervous to make the original call, because as you know, my Hebrew is not that great. Well, guess what? He speaks perfect English without an Israeli accent. Now I was nervous the other way. How was this American Yankee going to entertain my Israeli crowd? I certainly was surprised to learn that he speaks perfect Hebrew also without that nerdy American accent. He was such a pleasure to deal with on the phone; funny, courteous, friendly, and sincerely interested in making my grand opening the best ever. (Not just talking about the money like those other guys.) The really nice way he spoke on the phone I thought I was his first customer ever. (It was only later that I found out that this guy does 4 shows a week!) So I knew he was a nice guy but could he put on show? I was nervous (to impress Israeli kids is not so easy). Well, was I in for a surprise. It turns out that not only is he a magician but also a world-class juggler. I'm talking everything from eggs to knives to fire. Holy Smokes!! He was so amazing!! He had total control of the crowd, both children and adults, from the beginning to the end. Switching constantly from Hebrew to English, with a dash of Yiddish he kept everybody mesmerized for the full hour. The only problem was, he was so good that everyone just watched him and didn't come into the store to buy anything! It was a great advertisement anyhow. After the show he spoke nicely to all the kids and gave them all of his attention. I then paid him the amount of money that we made up from the start - with none of those extra fees.
The way I'm talking about him you probably think he's my good friend from ten years ago. Well guess what? I just met the guy by the show, and no I'm not being paid to write this either. All in all I think this guy is massive and he'll do a great job. His phone # is 054-474-8425. Tell him I say hello. In any case, I wish your wife good luck with the new school job and with the Purim party. Say hello to Mark for me.
B'Hatzlacha,
Dovid

Josh, Last night was wonderful. Your talents were enjoyed by everybody. The music, the props, your easy and professional manner were felt throughout. I was proud to have invited you for the event. I also appreciate the time you took after the performance to show my son a few card tricks.
Dear Josh, Just a short note of thanks for all your efforts at making our shul's Purim party so successful! Your show was wonderful - entertaining and delightful for both kids and adults. We can't tell you how many people commented that they have never seen so many children sit still for so long. Everyone was truly captivated throughout your whole show.
Thanks for making this a Purim that we'll never forget! Warmest regards,
