Spencer Sprocket
Spencer performed for our very energetic group of 7 year old girls. His talents made them squeal and laugh constantly. When the crowd got too energetic, he deflected well without losing energy, and was even flexible when the birthday girl decided to take a drink break in the middle of the show, haha. Spencer was great, highly recommend!
Hired Spencer for my partner’s 42nd Hitchhikers Guide themed birthday party, and he did not disappoint! Spencer was funny and engaging the whole show. He surprised us with his array of jokes and bits as well as skill. He added a shared experience for guests to the event that was just what I hoped for. I’ll be booking him again next chance I get!
Awesome job - captivated and amused kids and adults alike!
We hired Spencer to entertain for a birthday party full of 6-8 year olds. He kept the kids (and adults) laughing and engaged for 45 minutes straight! The kids were all able to participate and learn some magic tricks. We would highly recommend him! So fun!
Spencer was funny, kind, entertaining, and in control of our group of soon-to-be 3rd graders (who, let’s be honest, were a very tough crowd!). He made them laugh, handled their sassy heckling with grace and humor, and even taught them a trick or two. I highly recommend Spencer for your event. Seriously — just hire him now. :)
This is the second year in a row we've booked Spencer for my son's birthday party and we all enjoyed it even more the second time - which is saying a lot! There were about 12 kids in attendance and Spencer kept them engaged and loving it the entire time. He was great at interacting with the kids and at the end of the show all of the parents were talking about how entertaining he was. We would not hesitate to book Spencer again! Thank you!
He really knows how to control the room even when kids are dog-piling on each other. He is engaging and kind. Will definitely recommend him to others!
We hired Spencer for a small house birthday for our five year old and he was AWESOME! Kept the kids laughing and very entertained, and the adults had a great time too. Couldn't recommend him any more!
We would HIGHLY recommend booking Spencer. He was amazing!! We had a 6th birthday party for my son. It was mixed ages, 2 through 8 or so, mostly 5-7 yr olds. ALL the kids were totally engaged and laughing the entire time. They LOVED it. I may have loved it the most! It made my pandemic winter, honestly, watching the kids have so much fun. He also gave a lot of opportunities for different kids to volunteer including my son who is a bit shy. It was such a great time. Definitely book Spencer if he's available!!!! You will not regret it.
He kept their attention the whole 45 minutes and they had a lot of fun! We also enjoyed watching the kids cracking up! I was really happy with everything and the fact he was able to set up! Plus all the kids got to participate with some activities! It was worth every penny to also not have the focus be on me corralling 8 (ages 7-8) boys! Spencer thank you so much!
We hired Spencer Sprocket for a private club Holiday event and he was absolutely amazing. He did so many different acts and tricks and was really funny (even the adults were laughing). We had a fairly big crowd of kids gathered around for the show and the kids were so engaged the whole time, laughing and yelling out answers to his questions. Loved the fact that Spencer included inspirational comments like "You can do everything I do, you just haven't tried yet" and "Always try again", which is so important for kids (and adults) of all ages to hear over and over. Spencer was also incredibly great with his interactions with the kids and even stayed a bit longer after the show to teach them all how to do one of his magic tricks.
This was my first ever entertainment hire and I got so many comments afterward about how great Spencer was. I can't wait to hire him back for one of our other events! Thank you so much Spencer! You killed it!
He was very punctual and professional. Made kids laugh and showed them tricks.
It was fun having him at the party.
This is my first time hiring a magic entertainer so I don't know what to expect.
Spencer was our choice for my daughter's birthday party. We selected Spencer because of his experiences with the children parties. He didn't disappointed our family.
My daughter and her friend loved Spencer. They laughed and interacted for the whole show.
We will highly recommend Spencer to our friend and we hope to get him back for another engagement.

We had Spencer coming over for my daughters birthday and party. All kids and adults had so much fun. Spencer was doing lots of tricks and was changing activities based of kids mood and reactions. Everyone loved the show. Kids saw some tricks and learned some of them as well. Spencer was on time and even stayed a little bit longer than planned. I am beyond happy with Spencer’s show!
I hired Spencer for my son's 10th birthday party. I've never hired a magician before, I really wanted something special for the big 1-0 party for my son. I was not disappointed! Spencer did a great job! The kids were entertained and LOVED his performance! He was very interactive and funny. His magic tricks were awesome and he even taught the kids a trick! After Spencer left, my son asked if he could come to every one of his birthday parties! Everyone enjoyed his performance, the children and the adults!
Spencer Sprocket was the highlight of the party. Everyone was laughing and having fun, even the adults. He knows how to entertain and manage young kids- we had 12 kids at the party, ages 3-8 and everyone paid full attention the full time, not an easy feat. Highly recommend.
Spencer commuted for three hours to cheer up a family quarantined for weeks with sequential breakthrough COVID for the parents and an infected three year old. He was creative, fun and engaging, even though he was on the sidewalk and the parents were on the porch. He read his audience and repeatedly engaged the toddler for the duration of the experience. The parents were thrilled.
After 2 cancelled events due to the pandemic, we were able to move forward with having Spencer at a smaller event and venue. Spencer was versatile and very flexible , and he did not disappoint. All the children and many of the adults were very engaged. I particularly liked that he took time and demonstrated for the children how they could accomplish the trick with the invisible ball. I would highly recommend Spencer Sprocket!
Every year at the end of Reach the Stars youth arts summer program we try to include a professional performance to show the kids what's possible if they keep practicing. Our theme this year was circus, and spencer sprocket was exactly what we needed. He was within our budget, professional, arrived early, watched the students perform their acts/complemented them on a job well done, and had the audience laughing and enjoying the show during his act. Would definitely recommend.
Our non-profit serves families with a seriously ill child. Spencer Sprocket was the entertainment for our camp opening program. We had more adults (volunteers) on the virtual call, but they seemed to enjoy the show as much as the kids. I want to also mention that it was an extremely warm evening, but that did not stop a great performance.
Spencer rocked the party! It was so good. He managed to hold the attention of a gaggle of 5-10 year olds for an entire hour, which is a feat in and of itself. He also rolled up to the gig on a one wheel, wearing bright yellow jeans. That adds serious style points, in my book. He was funny, easy to work with, professional, and so entertaining. Overall, awesome!
We had Spencer come and entertain over 100 students from Kindergarten to 6th graders. He had them laughing, exclaiming, and entertained for an hour. He was on time, engaging, and easy to work with.
Hiring Spencer for my kiddo's 5th birthday was probably one of the best ideas I've had as a parent. The whole process was straightforward and easygoing.
We were impressed by the feats of balance, juggling, sleight of hand, and super sick electric unicycle (aka travel roomba). But Spencer's ability to connect to the kids as well as adults was truly inspiring. He brought the shyest kid out of her shell, got the too-cool big kids laughing and engaged, and the birthday boy was completely enthralled, busting out belly laughs and shouts of joy. All in one 30 minute show!
I could seriously just go on and on about Spencer's generous spirit and joyful demeanor, but instead I'll just tell you to book him for an event and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed. He is an amazing performer and kind human.
Wow... Where to begin?!
First and foremost, Spencer is incredibly easy and professional to work with. He was the first vendor I had ever booked using GigSalad and he made the process efficient and savvy. He was kind and straight to the point. As a Camp Director, I really appreciate the ease of working with him! He also was a very low-maintenance vendor.
I was absolutely shocked by how FUNNY he was. From the moment he walked in our door (or should I say "rolled" in our door....he transports around on this fascinating hands-free scooter thing that looks like a recycled Roomba) I was impressed. He is goofy, KIND, silly, and expressive. He absolutely captivated our Campers (ages K-6th), the staff, and myself.
What I was most surprised about his performance was how there were little lessons scattered throughout his performance. In the mix of magic, goofiness, and his acts, he was constantly reminding Campers to "always keep trying if you fail" and to "not be too hard on yourself when things don't go as planned".
We will absolutely be inviting Spencer back to our Day Camp, potentially again even this summer. I cannot recommend him enough. A parent of ours mentioned that they had hired Spencer for a Child's birthday party and it was equally amazing. I could go on and on about how amazing Spencer Sprocket was!
I'm so glad I found him and booked him for my daughter's 7th birthday. We had never hired an entertainer before so we were apprehensive, but Spencer couldn't have been my better! We all loved the show, all the kids and grown-ups were so amazed by how entertaining he was, and everyone was laughing throughout. He's wonderfully silly yet incredibly professional at the same time. He doesn't talk down to the kids and he even teaches them a few tricks to try themselves. Perfect! Hire him now before someone else does!
I booked Spencer for my six year old girl birthday party. The girls are just laughing so hard. Adults enjoy it too! Very worthy the price!
Spencer did an awesome job! He was super flexible with the start time as we had a few late comers to our event. He was really engaging and kept the kids attentions! My daughter really enjoyed the entire show! We highly recommend Spencer!
We hired Spencer for my son's 5th birthday party and we could not be happier with that decision! First, aside from even the actual performance, Spencer was very professional and proactive in his communication leading up to the event, so I felt very confident going into the day of. Upon arrival, he instantly captivated his audience and they stayed engaged and fascinated the whole time (as did the adults!). He was also really good interacting with the kids; he made them each feel important and like the show was just for them. We would not hesitate to hire Spencer again and we would definitely recommend him!
Everything went perfect! Everyone was entertained and I received lots of great feedback. Thank you!
My daughter's 9th birthday came mid-pandemic, and we wanted a fun way for her to celebrate with her friends. Came across Spencer Sprocket's virtual party promo video and was so excited at the possibility. My daughter loved the idea, and in the end, it went beyond what I could have hoped for. Spencer was the best part of the Zoom birthday party for sure, and was so entertaining (despite the natural awkwardness of a remote audience and the occasional 9 year old heckler -- what a pro!). He was entertaining for the kids, but adults also appreciated his jokes. The pace of the party was great, the performances were really cool, the tutorials he did with them were super fun, the virtual engagement with the kids was awesome. In the end my daughter thought her party was awesome and I owe it completely to Spencer Sprocket. Thank you so much!
Response from Spencer Sprocket:
Thank you so much for taking the time to write me such a stellar review! I had a blast entertaining that group, and ALWAYS enjoy a bit of heckling like use to do as a child! Thank you again!
Spencer Sprocket was very professional at all stages of planning and performance. He came with a great energy and provided a fun and entertaining show which kept the adults as entertained as the little ones. He even got smiles and laughs from the teen in the audience. :) His act itself was that which all the reviewers have said with fun balloons, magic and juggling. I noticed something just as important that should be noted, Spencer has a fantastic demeanor and manner with children. He is very attentive and understands their perspectives which helps keep the little ones and the show moving in a very nice way.
Spencer was super! Talented, funny, and on point. Easy to work with and great communication. Would totally work with again!
Did an excellent job
He was great. Everyone enjoyed his show and he was great with the kids. I would recommend him to anyone and would have him again.
We had a great experience with Spencer
Spencer entertained our group of six-year-olds (and all of their parents, too) wonderfully. He was so full of energy that the entire time of his performance was lively and engaging. We would definitely have him back!
Response from Spencer Sprocket:
Sue, thank you so much for the outstanding review! It was great fun entertaining your party! Please keep me in mind for future birthdays down the road!
Spencer was absolutely amazing! Everyone loved him and he was so well with the children! My daughter was having her 2nd birthday and it was Sesame Street themed. He brought pre-made balloons for her party! Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Oscar! He went above and beyond. During his show he had the attention of 1-4 year olds the whole time (which is hard) and all of the adults loved him! Definitely will be using him again!
Response from Spencer Sprocket:
Oh, Jessica, I'm so glad to hear it! Thank you for throwing such a great party, inviting me, and for your outstanding review! The group was very polite and easy-going. Thanks again!
I hired Spencer to entertain at my son’s 4th birthday party after seeing him perform at another party. He was hilarious! This is a hard age but Spencer had their attention the whole time just laughing and giggling at all his crazy stunts. I would definitely hire him again.
Response from Spencer Sprocket:
Rebecca, I'm thrilled you were so happy with the results of my visit! Thank you so much for inviting me in your home, I had a wonderful time! Please, keep me in mind for future events, and thank you again!
My committee hired Spencer to roam around and perform for our Circus themed Educational Tradeshow.
He was absolutely fantastic! The tradeshow was quite chaotic, but his lively personality and talented tricks kept 1300 guests entertained throughout their lunch. We are very pleased with his work! 100% would recommend!
Response from Spencer Sprocket:

You can expect a clean cut professional that will arrive on time, and make sure he delivers and outstanding show for everyone to enjoy.
Short version: Sales and summer camps taught me a unique skill set that translated into becoming a uniquely skilled, and professional entertainer.
Long version: In 2011, I began my career with Portland Parks and Recreation as a Summer Camp Counselor at the Southwest Community Center. Facilitating fun for large groups in various settings came naturally to me. It turns out that comedy is a phenomenal way to captivate children's attention, but only for a minute or two, then they want more. My skill set quickly grew to include juggling, sleight of hand magic, mime/physical comedy, and anything else that would fascinate and hold the camper's attention. It was like I had a live audience every day who provided all kinds of honest feedback. My personalized circus school.
My first jobs were in barns, sales, then telephone tech support. I learned how to work hard, frame the situation for the better, and de-escalate the conflict. All of these jobs led to my becoming a successful summer camp counselor. Instead of selling cell phones, I was selling the idea of fun. Instead of working in shopping malls, I was going on field trips. Instead of a customer complaining about their cell phone, I was consoling a camper with a skinned knee. It was a dream job, having as much fun as the children.
Connecting and entertaining led to promotions—counselor to Assistant Director, Director, and then Coordinator for all camps. In the fall, the camp was over I needed a new job. The community center offered rooms to rent with a party host to assist with cutting cakes, sorting presents, and cleaning up. It was easy for me. An hour-long party for 15 to 20 children? Inside? Pssssh... That's a BREEZE compared to 8 hours out in the sun with 30 children. My summer camp skills allowed me to deliver a delightfully fun and professional experience. I went above and beyond and earned rave reviews. I began to be asked for specifically and started doing private parties.
I worked in almost every position available at the community center. creating a full-time job with a few part-time positions. Front desk, facility attendant, teaching circus, coaching basketball, and more. That hard work through Portland Parks and Recreation promoted me to producing movies and concerts in the park, a Park Host, then Front Desk Lead at two different Community Centers. More desk work and screens, fewer people, and fun. As I climbed the corporate ladder, my passion for performing grew stronger than my career. My promotions were getting duller and an I was always a distraction to my co-workers. I was maxing out how much time I could take off to perform at parties and festivals. in 2019 I left my career with Portland Parks and Recreation and pursued my dream of entertaining full-time. It was the best decision I ever made.
I now use my knowledge, skills, and abilities to deliver a fascinating, professional, and memorable experience where ever I go. My job is to create moments of fun that inspire others to pursue their passions and not be afraid of making mistakes along the way.
I want to give thanks to everyone who has helped me achieve my dream of entertaining people for a living.
