As a parent, organizing a memorable birthday party for your child can sometimes feel like performing a magic trick in itself. However, when you enlist the talents of a professional magician like Michael, the real magic truly unfolds. I had the pleasure of inviting Michael Messing Magic to my daughter's recent birthday celebration, and I must say, it was an enchanting experience from start to finish.
From the moment Michael Messing entered the venue, his charisma and enthusiasm captivated both children and adults alike. His charming demeanor immediately put everyone at ease, setting the stage for an afternoon of wonder and excitement.

I hired Michael for an adults holiday party. He responded quickly to my initial request and was accommodating and professional while we made arrangements. He even helped with a special request that started the party off right. His close-up magic is spectacular. He twisted over 15 balloons and even showed us the basics. Throughout the party, he was funny and professional. I recommend Michael for all types of events. He brings a sense of fun with his high quality show.

Michael performed at our twins’ 4th birthday party. We had kids as young as 6 months up to 6 years old and they all loved it. Everyone agreed Michael was the highlight of the party. Such a fun experience and would highly recommend!! His backdrop and whole performance were fantastic!

Thank you, Sarah! It was a pleasure entertaining your twins and their guests!
Michael was absolutely amazing and he was the cherry on top for the end of our night at our banquet. We had a physics department end of the year banquet and were originally stuck between a DJ and a speaker. Someone jokingly suggested a magician, and I found Michael, and he was all we wanted and more! He was funny, very involved, and worked with the audience he had.

Thank you, Jesse! It was a pleasure performing for SPS. It was so much fun!
Michael did an OUTSTANDING job! He kept the kids entertained the entire time. Even the adults were impressed. Michael stayed in contact until our party, showed up on time, brought everything he needed, and was very pleasant to work with. The balloon twisting at the end was an awesome added bonus. We would highly recommend Michael!!

Thank you for making me a part of the celebration, Ashley! It was a pleasure entertaining the youngsters and adults.
We had Michael come and perform for our annual Youth Choir retreat of about 50 middle and high school students at church. The kids loved him. All of his 'tricks' were very well done. He was professional and he targeted the age group appropriately. I recommend him highly.
PS. And, he wore his mask at the necessary times!

Michael is very friendly, personable and professional. The kids and adults (including myself) had a blast watching his show. Due to covid he performed outdoor and it was just perfect. He included the bday twins as well as the big sister in his show and they loved it! He also did the balloon twisting for the kids also a great entertainment and worth it.
Thank you Michael for making my twins bday a perfect party!!!

We hired Michael to perform at a family birthday party with all ages attending. He did a great job keeping the kids amazed and the adults! He did several awesome magic tricks and then did balloons animals for the kids. You should definitely hire Michael your next event - you won’t regret it!

Michael was an amazing addition to my children’s birthday party. He took the time prior to the party to ask questions to get to know my children and arrived early to set up then stayed late. The kids loved him as well as all of the adults. I would book him again in a heartbeat. As if the magic wasn’t enough he also made balloon animals for all of the kids. What a joyous person to be around and such a great performer.

Thank you, Cassondra! It was a pleasure entertaining your sons and their guests and I really enjoyed meeting everyone.
Michael brought his magic to my daughters wedding reception. He strolled through the crowd during cocktail hour and dinner performing tricks for our guests. It was so much fun for me to look around the room and see our guests totally engrossed and mouths open in disbelief trying to figure out how he was doing the tricks. The next morning at breakfast people were comparing tricks he performed for them and still trying to figure out how he did it. I would highly recommend Michael for your next event. He was a hit!

Michael was so professional and so much fun! We hosted a carnival for our students at Tennessee Tech and Michael was such a wonderful addition to it. Our students raved about his walking magic and how awesome his tricks were. We will definitely be hiring Michael in the future for any of our needs!

Thank you, Kendal! It was a pleasure performing for your daughter and her guests!
We hired Michael to perform close up magic tricks and make balloon animals for kids ranging from 2-11 yrs old. Michael was able to keep everyone entertained for the 3 hours he was with us. Not only did he perform magic, he taught the children some simple tricks. Everyone present, including adults, were entertained. There were between 15-20 people in attendance. It was a great personal interaction.
I recommend being specific with what you want for entertainment. We got exactly what we wanted. I also recommend scheduling and extra hour to hour and half. The time flew by and we wished he could have stayed longer.
I had no issues with communication, payment or professionalism with Michael. I would not hesitate to rehire Michael for future parties.

I was looking for entertainment for an upcoming corporate event and ran across Michael's profile. I am not going to lie, I was a little skeptical at first not knowing how the rest of my team would react, but I am glad I booked him. He was able to keep the group's attention through the magic show - and that is no easy task since they vary in age from early twenty's to mid- sixty's. After the short 30 minute magic show, Michael spent about an hour doing strolling magic for small groups. Everybody really seemed to enjoy the card and coin tricks and the one-on-one attention. Michael was very professional and accommodating to what would work best for our group and event. Thanks for a great event!

I coordinated the Christmas party for Nissan of Cookeville with a Vegas themed party - we had casino games, showgirls, etc. - the only thing missing was a Magician. I found Michael Messing on Gig Salad and booked him for the event. His magic was on point and the guests loved him! He even had a trick where he pulled out a Nissan of Cookeville card in the deck. The client of course loved that. I would recommend Michael for any type of event where you need a Magician! He was on time, and worked until the end of his contracted time doing what he does best ....Magic!

We live in Chattanooga, TN and Michael did an outstanding job performing at my 4 year old daughter's birthday party. The kids were mesmerized! He was able to keep all the kids, of all ages, focused and amazed. They were all so happy and my daughter continues to talk about his "magic". Made balloon animals for all the kid guests! If you're looking for a magician but unsure which one, choose Michael Messing. So professional, accessible, and just a great magician.

We hired Michael to perform at a family adult birthday party and he was wonderful. He was very responsive via email and I was able to book him quickly and efficiently. We communicated several times prior to the event to finalize arrangements and our address. The day of the event, he was right on time and his set-up and show were terrific. He had wonderful props and stage presence and everyone young and old loved his show. I would highly recommend Michael for any event. He personalized his show to all family members and made our birthday party celebration extra special.

Michael Messing did a fantastic job at our son's party. The kids had so much fun! He was professional and knew exactly how to cater to every age. We had children there from age 2 to 7 and they all loved it! In fact, several of our friends are already looking to book him for their future parties! I would highly recommend hiring Michael for your next party!

We recently hired Michael for our son's 5th birthday party. Michael was professional from the very beginning with a detailed explanation of his show, different packages, etc. He was timely with a quick set up and break down and he kept the children completely engaged while paying special attention to the birthday boy. His show was entertaining for both children and adults and his balloon creations were spectacular! He had special treats for the birthday boy as well as something for all of the goody bags. For the money, Michael was a wonderful value and my husband and I received incredible feedback from our friends and family. We would highly recommend him for a personal or professional party.

We booked Michael for our year old daughter's party. Everything went smoothly from booking to set up and take down. The kids loved the show. It was mass chaos until the show started and they were all quiet and amazed once he started his show.

Michael performed a magic show and then a class to teach slight of hand tricks to my grandsons. His excellent professional skills as a magician were triumphed by his ability to assess the boys' personalities and know when and what to actively involve them. He instructed with patience, appropriate timing and humor. It was a pleasuren to watch Michael perform and my g-sons get totally hooked on magic!

Michael performed for our twin's 6 year old birthday party and the kids LOVED the show. So did the adults! He was able to keep 20 children engaged and laughing for 40 minutes. His amazing talent with the balloon art was a bonus. The kids all went home so happy and my boys had a great birthday!

I had Michael Messing preform at our granddaughter's 7th birthday party. The kids and adults loved it. The first time that I had seen 16 kids set still that long and would have set there even longer. I look forward to have him back to perform again at our other grandkids parties. We can’t say enough about what a terrific job Michael Messing did for us.

We were lucky to book Michael for our daughter's seventh birthday. Everyone loved the party. Not only was the show amazing, the sound of laughter filled the playground. The show consumed my daughter, and she tried to figure out all the tricks. She has always been inspired by magic and now, a real magician performed for her. The parents enjoyed seeing the children happy. Michael's balance in attention to all children was impressive. His respect and love for the children showed. Michael was also very professional from the first phone conversation to the very end. We felt at ease when planning the party because we could tell that the show was going to be successful.
Michael, thanks so very much for making Darya's birthday so memorable and for your generosity in giving all the children from the very youngest siblings to the oldest a treat bag which they all enjoyed. Tonight my daughter examined the gifts you gave her with twinkling eyes. I am very happy that she had the chance to have you at her birthday. It was so special.
