“As a guest on Joe Diamond’s weekly radio show years ago I saw first-hand how well he engages the listeners. He knows how to script and stage compelling magical presentations over the air. In the years since I’ve heard dozens of clips of his own appearances on other people’s shows. He nails it every single time. When it comes to performing on the medium of radio, or using radio for promotion, Joe is the first I go to. You can’t go wrong with his material and insight.” –Christopher Carter

Joe Diamond creates solid working material for Mentalists that are sure to become some of your favorite pieces.” -Paul Draper
“Joe, I promise you bend spoons better than I do” -Uri Geller
