The Magic of Whit Haydn
What they are saying:
"Whit Haydn is one of the best close-up magicians I have ever seen..."
--Merv Griffin
"Haydn has a very different and engaging manner of talking--it is infectious and the audiences loved it. He also performs his magic superbly."
--Dai Vernon (the "Professor") Genii--The International Conjuror's Monthly
"Doreen Wilson came back with raves about your performance, personality, and showmanship."
--William Preston, Past President, International Brotherhood of Magicians
"Donnerstag dann das Magic Castle, das Zentrum der Zauberkunst ! ...Der MC Whit Haydn (für die Unwissenden: MC steht für Master of Ceremonies und bedeutet so viel wie Conferencier oder Moderator) präsentierte fabelhafte Unterhaltung mit viel Sprachwitz, wo seine Seilroutine eigentlich zur Nebensache wurde. Sein Abschlus war eines der besten Ringspiele, welches ich jemals gesehen habe."

"Lulled by his easygoing manner, his ingenuousness, people find themselves swept away by one illusion after another."
--Susan Ladd, Greensboro News and Record
"Sinatra's (Frank Sinatra, Jr.) audiences have loved his show, as well as magician Whit Haydn's, who opens for him. Whit is clever, personable and very handsome..."
--Maxine Mesinger, Big City Beat, Houston Chronicle
"Haydn has been in the business for many years, performing for numerous celebrities along the way, and it shows. his style of close-up magic is well suited to the club's environment, and last week's performance proved to be a marvel of magical skill. His smooth-as-silk manner is as disarming as his sleight-of-hand, lulling the audience into a false sense of security about their perceptions, only to completely confuse them a moment later...Anyone even remotely interested in magic should make an effort to catch his act."
--Stephen Amidon, Spectator, Magazine of the Triad, Greensboro, NC
"We are hoping another trade show will bring Whit back (to Chicago), so those that only heard about his prowess can see and admire this really fine magician."
--Frances Marshall, The Linking Ring Magazine
"I first met Whit while my wife and I were vacationing on the last voyage of the Queen Odyssey. The ship had just been bought by Seabourn from Royal Cruise Lines and the cruise was the transition to the new company. Seabourn was trying to impress the loyal Royal Cruise Line passengers that the new owners could keep up the fine reputation the ship had earned. They hired Whit as the only non-musical act to appear in the main theater and obviously had great confidence in his abilities to impress the crowd they hoped to retain for future voyages."

"You aren't just a magician, you are a great actor!"
--Alan Alda
