An eventful evening in a small family circle in a hotel (Rose in Bitzfeld) in a double birthday round celebration.
Amazement and surprise among the "enchanted" after each round of magic.
Mr. Hofstätter is an extremely sympathetic actor, especially as a "mentalist", who also responds to his audience and confidently handles, answers and masters all, even simple-minded questions from the audience.
The evening will last for a long time with the participants, which already started in the evening after the performance and the next morning, at breakfast with interesting discussions.
I can fully recommend Mr. Hofstätter as a "special" magician-entertainer".

Thank you very much for taking the trouble to give me a review. Since I had already received a very good evaluation from your board of directors for my performances at your anniversary, I was very surprised about the feedback you gave. We had also talked on the phone, as I wanted to understand how this evaluation came about and what I could do better.
The performance was booked by their board after written offer and order confirmation already a year ago. My performance consisted of a show and 2h close-up magic for the guests. The mood and the feedback of the attendees were great. On the part of your board there is also a rating here in the portal from 23.5. which is very good. In addition, there is another evaluation from 25.5. (also here in the portal) which is even excellent; also from your ranks.
In the phone call you told me that they were massively annoyed, because they only found out the amount of the show from your board after invoicing as treasurer. According to your information, there were also some internal club discussions that "had you been present at the vote" it would not have come to a booking.
In the conversation I tried to find out WHAT did not fit from the performance, the show etc. and what I could have done better. Unfortunately, you could not tell me anything - except that from your point of view (!) the amount itself (!) is too high and you are angry, how that (club-internally) has run. As mentioned, there was a written offer to the club, with order confirmation etc. and I have to assume that a corresponding coordination took place when a booking was made. Nevertheless, I understand that you are annoyed about the club-internal HOW.
We then also talked about the (few) categories you rated. You mentioned that you "just kind of" clicked on them because of the annoyance (you had forwarded the email with the rating request from your board). This info explains to me why they rated moderation, for example, but I didn't do any moderation at all for you that day and still got a bad rating. Also, you rate the interaction only mediocre - amazing, since I had partly more spectators on stage in the mind reader show in every (!) experiment 1. In addition, there were 4 interactions for the total audience not to forget the interaction with the mayor on site plus the 2h direct interaction with the audience at the close-up magic. Again, there were then no indications in the conversation that I had behaved wrongly here, etc. ... Other aspects, for example, were not evaluated by you at all ... which is also rather untypical.
Now with the content from the phone call, I can at least understand how this yet rather unusual, selective evaluation came about, since they "just kind of clicked". You were also surprised to learn that your rating could be read publicly....
Of course, I would have been happy if you had been involved in the commissioning decision beforehand, so that such a situation would not have arisen. I would also have been pleased if my actual performance had been evaluated, as was done by the other two evaluators - including your board of directors - who are also publicly viewable
With kind regards
Uwe Hofstätter
