“Thank YOU!! We’ve had nothing but rave reviews on your performances. You guys were AWESOME. We would like to know if you would be interested in coming back next year...

"Our organization recently presented ¿Qué Bolá? Magic
at our children's festival in early September (2007). They were absolutely the hit of the event!
... Their music, magic, costumes, and props were all masterfully crafted and choreographed, and
certainly appropriate for an all-ages audience. Ariel and Rochelle were very friendly and professional to work with, and we would love to have them back either at our children's festival, or at a theatre event ...
We are very proud to have talented entertainers of this calibre living in our area ... I would
heartily recommend ¿Qué Bolá? Magic for school, festival, theatre, fundraising, or corporate performances."

“¿Qué Bolá? Magic was amazing at our 2006 Saanich Fair.
They are great entertainers and did some unbelievable magic. They were a great
crowd pleaser and had one of the largest crowds at their Monday magic show. This is their second year entertaining at the Saanich Fair and we would not hesitate to have them back again."
Gloria Dol, Entertainment Director
Saanich Fair, Saanich, BC
“ Ariel and Rochelle, the magic show was a highlight of the Fair.
Thanks so much for participating in this year’s Fair In The Square (2007).”

“Our performance space is a bit difficult; out in the open,
lots of foot traffic, food services, gift shop, lots of distractions. Ariel and Rochelle adapted
to the challenges, grabbed an audience within minutes and kept them fully entertained until the end
of the shows. Our audience encompasses a broad international spectrum with varied levels of understanding
the English language and the ¿Qué Bolá? Magic act kept everyone laughing and engage no matter where
they were from. While I wish our outdoor venue could accommodate more of the large illusions,
this was seriously good close-up magic with a fresh sense of humour.
A delight to watch and enjoyed by all throughout the various performances.”
Craig Moddle, Manager of Arts and Entertainment
Butchart Gardens, Victoria, BC
“¿Qué Bolá? Magic is a wonderful theatrical experience that
creates an atmosphere of buoyant good humour and amazement in audiences of all ages.
Ariel’s magic is first-rate. The minute the music started and the show began, I could hear the audience laughter and awestruck gasps, and the mood didn’t let up until well after the show ended. Next day at the café, all the talk was about which act was best and ‘how the heck did Ariel DO that?’ The show gave so much pleasure with a mix of sophistication and simplicity. ¿Qué Bolá? has a knack for community-building; somehow the show made us all feel like one big, very happy family. It was definitely a good thing to do and people are already asking for a repeat.”

¿Qué Bolá? Magic performed to a packed house on Denman Island.
With humour and inventiveness, the duo of Ariel Morales and Rochelle Allison offered
a sparkling evening of magic, from grand illusions to close-up, all spiced with hot Cuban salsa,
dance routines, sparkling sets and costume changes.
The performance thrilled young and old (you’re never too old for this stuff) and laughter permeated the entire show, as audience members found themselves on stage at times. But the true gem of this show is the artistry of Ariel Morales. The Cuban-born magician has been practicing his craft since he was a mere five years old and he brings an honest professionalism to the stage. One feels they are watching
a true master and one who loves his work. The evening was an inspired delight and
we can’t wait to have them back!”

“I am pleased to provide a reference for ¿Qué Bolá? Magic.
Ariel and Rochelle performed at the Tidemark Theatre’s annual Children’s Festival (2006),
headlining on our indoor stage with Pied Pumkids. Rochelle and Ariel walked the difficult line of presenting
illusion to entertain children with the correct amount of clarity to ensure amazement. Their show was enthusiastically received - children and parents left the Theatre excited by the performance.
I would gladly host them again at the Tidemark.”
Christopher Bate, General Manager
Tidemark Theatre, Campbell River, BC
“This is a form of family entertainment suitable for any size of fair or function. ¿Qué Bolá? Magic is a member of our association in good standing and
I would highly recommend them for any venue.”
