Mike's magic is very impressive, a well put together performance! Mike did magic for small groups during our cocktail reception and a stage performance after dinner. Mike is very engaging, he had the audience captivated with his magic and had everyone laughing at times. He seamlessly blended comedy into his magic act. Many wows and smiles throughout his performance! Highly recommend!

I have known Mike for many years but this was the first time I had the opportunity to book him for a client. He wanted to know about the client and event ahead of time so he would know what to expect. Watching him interact with the guests was great, feeding off their reactions to his magic, joking with them, etc. He even prepared a custom trick for a couple of the guests at the party that amazed them both. Definitely recommend Mike for magical entertainment!
