Michael O'Brien

Michael is so friendly and talented! When one of our party guests joked with Michael and told him to disappear, he was so good natured! Furthermore, he is so fresh, enthusiastic, beautifully attired, and entertaining! He held our full attention with his clever tricks and charismatic personality! I would highly recommend this professional and engaging magician!!

I actually originally hired Michael several years ago for my daughter’s birthday party and tried to hire him every year there after for our Halloween party with no success, every year he has been booked! This year, success! I booked him super early and was so excited to have him back! He was phenomenal! He preformed strolling up close magic as well as a formal stage show and the crowd was blown away! He has people watching him up close, all angels, and we are all puzzled! No one can figure out how he does what he does! He is SEAMLESS! I have had so many magicians in the years that I couldn’t secure Michael, so I’d say I’m pretty experienced with what to expect. Ive had some pretty unfortunate experiences with very unprofessional magicians, but Micheal stands above the rest. Excellent communication throughout the booking, incredible showmanship, and flawless performance. I would highly recommend booking him as soon as you have a date for your event!

Excellent strolling work. Had some really interesting tricks that I haven't seen others do before. He engaged the kids well, and people had a lot of fun!

Michael was an absolute highlight of the night! He blew my party away with his magic. We will be booking him again!!!

I had the pleasure of experiencing Mike O'Brien performance at a recent corporate event, and it was nothing short of phenomenal! From the moment he approached our table, he had the entire table captivated with a perfect blend of mind-blowing tricks and humor.
Mike's ability to engage a diverse group, including some of the toughest-to-impress colleagues, was truly impressive. The energy he brought to the event elevated the entire evening, making it more memorable and enjoyable for everyone involved.
The seamless integration of magic into the flow of the event made for a perfect balance of entertainment and professionalism. I highly recommend Mike for any corporate gathering or event where you want to leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Thank you, Mike, for an unforgettable experience!

I Have always enjoyed Magic and have been fortunate to have seen a number of magicians perform over the years and I will Happily say Michael O'Brien is one of the best I ever seen! He is so such fun, he entertained
at the Birthday party I was attending and the age group was from young children to elders (I am 80) everyone was mesmerized by his talent and his wonderful personality. Truly an exceptional performer for all ages. I would highly recommend his to attend your next event!

Michael and I got connected because I was getting ready to audition to be a magician member at the Magic Castle. To those who don't know, the audition process is designed to be rigorous to ensure that only those who are serious about the art and study of the craft matriculate into membership. And while I was those things when I reached out to Michael, performing casually for friends at gatherings, I had yet to put together anything like a formal 10-minute set.
Before our first meeting, Michael gave me a little "homework": Write out a list of all the tricks I can perform without thinking, as well as a list of non-magic related talking points. At our first consultation, within fifteen minutes of me sharing these lists, he stopped me to say, "I have your set." He then proceeded to talk me through the sequence of tricks I would perform and elegantly wove a through-line consisting of the talking points I had shared with him mere moments before! The set he described had a satisfying arc, and even ended with a satisfying callback. It was sorcery.
For those who might be curious...I passed the audition in my first attempt. And I have Michael O'Brien to thank for that.
Yes, Michael's understanding of magic is thorough and deep. What I would argue sets him apart is his expertise in story structure. He helped me find my story. And he can help you find yours.

If you still have doubts but are curious about his coaching, he has a YouTube channel in which he discusses magic techniques, magic theory, as well as structuring your acts (a lot is available publicly, and even more if you pay and subscribe!) https://www.youtube.com/@OBrienMagic
Thank you, Michael!

We wanted to add something extra special to my dad’s surprise birthday party and Michael definitely delivered! He incorporated my dad and other family members into the show and made sure everyone at the party got to see some of his close-up magic also. We highly recommend him for your event.

We always make it a point to visit the Magic Shop on every Disney trip, on our last trip we had the pleasure of meeting Michael and watching a few of his performances. He is an excellent performer, just when you think the trick is over, there's more and it keeps getting even better! It is obvious that he is incredibly passionate about what he does, and we would highly recommend his shows to anyone looking for some unexpected delight in their lives!

I recently had the pleasure of watching Michael O'Brien perform, and he was absolutely mesmerizing. His ring tricks, in particular, were mind-blowing and left the entire audience in awe. Michael's charisma and skill are unmatched, making for an unforgettable magical experience. Highly recommended!

Michael is one of the, if not the best magician I know. I'm not just talking about magic performances either. They are outstanding, and are something I hope to achieve as a grow in magic alongside him. (Taking classes) But also as a person of society in general, he is kind and understanding, he will give advice if you ask and is always open to questions! He made planning events and performing towards my family very easy and straightforward along with providing most of what he needed. 5 stars.

We hired Michael for a school event. He was quick to respond to my inquiry and helped answer all my questions.
The kids and families LOVED Michael and were mesmerized by his magic. He was definitely a highlight of the evening and got rave reviews from everyone who interacted with him.
He was on time, engaging and perfect with kids & adults. We would definitely have him return again. Having a vendor that is easy to work with makes everything go smoothly.
I would definitely recommend Michael for a kids or adults event.

Absolutely phenomenal and incredibly talented and entertaining!

I’ve experienced many, many, many, many magicians, but Michael was hands down in my top 3. He entertained at our school Spring Dance and he was great with the kids, engaging, and his slight of hand was one of the best I’ve seen in person. He had our kiddos yelling “more, more” as his magic was that good. We were thrilled to have him!!

Mike did a show at the Hot Rods Unlimited Christmas Party in December, 2023...it was fresh and entertaining for all.
We look forward to having him entertain us all again, soon.

Michael is so friendly and filled with joy! I happened to stumble into the magic store in Disneyland on Main Street where Michael greeted me with a huge smile. Then, he performed 4 magic tricks for my friend and I which brought us so much happiness on a very rainy day at the park. It was so awesome to see how enthusiastic and passionate he is towards his talent. Michael is a great magician and person!

My family & I met him at a restaurant in Brea. He was very sweet & approachable. He did a couple of tricks for us and they were great! I would definitely recommend him as a magician for a party.

Best part of my week was watching him perform his magic! It drew you in immediately and it was so fun to watch and be part of. Really such a great performer and he was the star of the night everyone was talking about. Praying he comes back for our next event!

Michael was so easy to work with and flexible about timing and entertaining at a sit down dinner where he went from table to table. Great talent, skill and sense of humor. You can't go wrong hiring him.

Michael performed at my work’s Christmas Party. Not only was the magic top shelf, but he adds a very personal humorous touch. My guests loved his show. Michael combined up close personal, strolling and small stage magic. I would highly recommend Michael for any work or personal event.

Michael’s unique and innovative performance totally blew the minds of me and my partner. It was extra fun seeing somebody live who I enjoyed on the Penn and Teller show as a fan from afar. Rooting for you Michael! Michael is also super personable, fun and appropriate for any type of event - family friendly or whatever. Thanks for the great show!

Michael is an outstanding performer. He interacted with everyone at our party, his magic is simply jaw dropping, and he made our event much more fun. I'd strongly recommend him for your event.

When it comes to creating an unforgettable experience, Michael is in a league of his own. We had the immense pleasure of inviting him to our home for my wife's 40th birthday celebration, and to say he was the life of the party would be an understatement.

From the moment Michael walked through our door, he exuded a warmth and kindness that instantly made everyone feel at ease. It was as if an old friend had come to visit, not a performer we'd just met. His wonderful attitude and genuine interest in getting to know each of us made him feel like an extension of our family.

But let's talk about the magic. Oh, the magic! Michael's illusions were nothing short of outstanding. Each trick was executed with such finesse and flair that we were left in a state of awe and wonderment. Whether it was card tricks that defied logic or mind-bending illusions that had us questioning reality, Michael's briefcase of tricks was as diverse as it was mesmerizing. The children were enchanted, the adults were captivated, and my wife—the birthday girl—was absolutely thrilled.

What really set Michael apart was his ability to engage with each and every one of us. He tailored his performance to suit all age groups present, from my young son and nephew to the older members of the family. His magic wasn't just about spectacle; it was interactive, allowing us to become a part of the wonder he created. This personal touch transformed what could have been a mere performance into a shared experience that we'll cherish forever. Everyone is still talking about him!

As the evening came to a close, we all agreed that Michael had not only entertained us but had also enriched our celebration in a way that was deeply meaningful. His magic was the perfect gift for my wife's 40th, and we couldn't be more grateful for the joy he brought into our home.

If you're looking for a magician who combines extraordinary skill with heartwarming interaction, look no further than Michael. He's not just a magician; he's a memory-maker. We can't recommend him highly enough and are already looking for an excuse to invite him back!

Thank you, Michael, for an evening that was truly magical in every sense of the word.

Michael was so much fun to have at the cocktail hour of my son’s bar mitzvah! He not only entertained the teenagers but he also entertained the adults! Some are still wondering how he did some of his tricks! Will definitely call him again!

This is a MUST for your next event. I've booked Michael a few times now and the shows just keep out doing themselves. NEVER A DULL MOMENT! People are still talking about the 1st time we booked him almost a DECADE later. He will not dissapoint!

We used Mike for a work team event and he was a huge hit!! The crowd loved him and was in aww of his tricks! Highly recommend.

Michael O'Brien was on very communicative to our group, was on time and even had everything prepared as he set up his station. He joined our team outing of 30 people in a private room at a restaurant in Irvine. He was able to do his show and close up magic in that same private room. Show itself was entertaining and very engaging. It was great having our own teammates involved and just totally stumped with the tricks - he even took the time to share with us a trick or two.

I have purchased his original magic. His magic is made well and very unique. Love His close up magic.

Michael is a great person and excellent magician. He was the highlight of our party. Most people won’t remember the DJ at your party or the bartender, but they will remember the magic of Michael. Michael made our event special and memorable. Weeks after our event our guests are still talking about the fun we had with Michael. His magic is appropriate for the young and the old. He’s willing to adjust his entertainment to suit the needs of the host. We won’t be having another special event without Michael. If you have the chance to book Michael or see one of his shows, it is a must! He is a 5+++++ Magician! The best in the industry!!!!

O’Brien is easily one of the most entertaining magicians I’ve ever seen. Beyond this, he has earned himself a place as a teacher of magic to other magicians. His Linking Rings is by far the definitive when it comes to this routine. If you want world class magic, that has landed him on TV and the opportunity to perform on Penn and Tellers Fool Us, then O’Brien is the magician for you.

For my wife's 40th birthday, I decided to surprise her with a strolling magician at the party. To be honest, I was really worried about finding the right person, fearing I'd either go with someone who was too cheesy or too...douchey, if you know what I mean? I'm SO GLAD I found Michael because he put all my fears to rest. Right from the start he asked questions about the event ahead of time and it was clear that he's in this to make sure people have a great time, and he's great at what he does. We had about 50 people at the party and they all raved about him. He took special time at the beginning to be introduced to my wife and show her some awesome close-up wizardry, and he truly made her party magic.

Michael made my moms 60th birthday party a huuuge success. Everyone was raving about the magician!! He did such a great job walking around to everyone and with the show at the end. Definitely recommend!!

Michael O'Brien was wonderful every step of the way. Very responsive with booking and extremely competitive pricing especially for the high quality close up magic. He showed up on time and was very personable with my staff. We all felt like kids....the joy and wonder is priceless. This was an experience we will never forget. They staff was raving about it all the next day.

Michael did a fantastic job entertaining 30 of us at our annual holiday party. Because of the intimate environment, he was able to perform a number of larger magic trick in front of the whole group and then went and did close-up magic at the tables. The guests loved it and so did I. Thanks Michael. I'd definitely hire him again.

There is something so unique about up close magic. There is no hiding anything. I had no idea really what to expect when hiring Michael for an adult party for strolling magic but he was an EPIC addition to my husband’s 40th. Every single person at the party said how cool it was. We were all blown away at his magic. There isn’t one thing he did that anyone felt they had “figured out.” Not only that but Michael’s personality was so seamless and enjoyable. I wish he could have stayed all night just to hang out. You will not regret having Michael and his magic at your event!

Gigsalad folks, this is your guy right here!
pick somone else and you'll get second best..

Booked a surprise magic session as a birthday gift and it turned out to be an absolutely incredible session. Both my partner and I were enthralled with Michael’s magic skills, his humour and warmth and ability to be so versatile with his magic tricks. The session was entertaining and insightful. Explaining magic through narrative is tough, but teaching magic while keeping the narrative and slowing it down is even harder. Michael did this flawlessly - well spoken, kind and a great teacher! Would highly recommend anyone get a session from him whether you are just starting or an advanced magician.

We have a Christmas party every year, this year we wanted to try something a little different. I am glad that we found Gig Salad and were able to look up different types of performers. Michael has great reviews, we decided to give him a try. His show, was incredible and we loved that he includes people from the audience. He is funny and will work with you, to make sure you have a wonderful experience.

We hired Michael to do close-up magic for the first hour of dinner party, celebrating the 75th birthday of a friend. He was wonderful. Funny and charming and very talented. It was the perfect ice-breaker for starting our evening. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Michael Obrien is professional and well prepared for his craft. He arrived on time and he wowed my guests and left an ever lasting impression on friends and family! I highly recommend him to perform at any event you want to have a good time at.

We had Michael at our wedding to perform street magic during our cocktail hour as well as a quick performance during our reception. He was absolutely amazing! Not only is he sweet, funny, and professional, but he also impressed us and our guests with his talent! All of our guests said how much they loved his magic and will always remember our wedding because of it! He was very quick to respond to my emails & phone calls which is much appreciated! Best decision we made for our wedding! I highly recommend Michael O'Brien magic for any event! If we ever have any other events coming up, I would hire him again in a heart beat! Thank you so much Michael! You made our day extra special!

We got a close up and personal experience with Michael at the Magic Castle, what a treat!! As mind-blowing as all the magic was that we saw that night throughout the castle, the experience with Michael is what made our night so incredibly special and left us "Huh?? How?? What??" for days. Not only was his show entertaining and delightful, the magic was mind-bending!! So impressed with the magic as it was - but being up close and personal with it (and purposefully looking for the trick ;) ), it was truly unbelievable what he was able to do. We walked away with great souvenirs that we'll treasure forever. Thank you for making our night (literally) so magical!
Michelle :)

Hired Michael for a birthday party. He started with roaming entertainment and then did a show. He was terrific and my guests were thoroughly entertained. I’m so glad we hired Michael as our party’s magician!

I attended a birthday party and met Michael. He was so interactive with the guests and his tricks were spectacular! Everyone loved it...he was a hit with all age groups.

I went to a birthday party and saw Michael setting up and thought, "oh, nice we'll see some magic tricks," but didn't think much of it. Well, he started by coming around to all the tables, introducing himself, and doing personalized shows in small groups at each table. The card tricks were amazing! I've watched brain games and tried to "catch" Michael by figuring out what he did, but I absolutely could not! He's amazing! I was hooked! The main magic show was just as spectacular! I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed one bit.

Abracadabra Amazing!!! we hired Michael for our children's Holy Communion Celebration, and needless to say we could not have been happier. His magic is very entertaining for the whole family, everyone loved it. Look no further people, this is the guy you want!! Will Definitely be recommending him and hopefully using him again in the future.

Michael did a wonderful job, not only performing behind the bar, but also strolling thru the people making sure everyone was able to see the magic. Everything was well polished, professional, and with humor throughout each piece. I would work with him again anytime!

I had Michael perform at my wedding and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! He was so entertaining, funny, amazing. Definitely a must at your event to have a good time. Definitely recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

My boyfriend and I visited the Magic Castle on our anniversary. Michael heard from a friend we made at the bar that we were celebrating, and invited us to sit in his reserved seats for his next show. He was So much fun - gregarious, funny, and did magic with Pokemon Cards. His show was so entertaining and the magic was top notch. Will definitely recommend him for any friends looking for a magician for an event. He's so great!

Very funny, interactive, fun for all ages, punctual, flexible and impressive. Makes for an excellent time.

Michael was amazing! This was the second time we have used his services and both times were impressed. He had our students in awe and always had a crowd. Easy to work with and wonderful to work with!

Michael entertained our student body for Student Appreciation Day. He kept the students enthralled and engaged throughout his entire magic show. He has a keen sense of how to work his audience depending upon the ages levels. In our case, he entertained children from 4-13 years old and their teachers, also, in four separate sessions! He was a hit for each session.

Michael wowed us from the moment he approached up to us at a party we attended. He was very engaging, friendly and had us saying, “What?! How did you do that?!” with each magic trick he performed. Awesome tricks and we really enjoyed it!

We hired Michael for our April Fools Day house warming party and he was Awesome. I personally love magic, and knew I wanted something unique and fun at our event. When I found Michael and looked at his website and some of his videos, I knew I wanted him to be at our party as a surprise for our guests.

He was super friendly from the moment we reached out to him. Not only is he a great guy, but he is Insanely talented. He blew the minds of us and our guests, and that's putting it lightly! People were talking about it the whole day. People even still bring it up months later.

Basically, if you're looking for a awesome, funny, modern, and talented magician you can't go wrong with Michael!

I have seen Michael O'Brien perform twice, both times at a birthday party for adults. Michel presents traditional magic tricks (cards, metal rings, cup & ball, cut rope) in an authentic refreshing way. Michael interacts with the audience by story telling, explaining history and asking for volunteers to participate in his act. Having seen him perform twice, I was still drawn in and surprised by the magic he shared.

This was the most amazing experience ever. Michael is such a talented and funny person. He definitely made this experience magical.

Michael really knows how to put on a show. From beginning to end, he can captivate an audience, and always leave them wondering how. He was very funny and incorporated the audience into his act, which is always a plus. He was very current with his jokes and tricks as well. I was very happy he was at the party and can see myself booking him for an event in the future.

Michael strolled through our office party entertaining small and large groups with his sleight of hand. His coin purse was mesmerizing, especially for such a minimalistic item. He engaged with our table, and involved each person with his tricks. Once we had seen his mini-show he wandered off to engage other folks. He was subtle, yet he managed to insert himself throughout the event to entertain many and varied groups to different degrees. It was truly a pleasure to have Michael and his mobile magic at our event!

I hired Michael for our annual holiday party. It was aboard the Paradiso yacht in Newport Beach. His was Amazing! Everyone enjoyed his magic. How he was able to make a bottle appear out of nowhere, just wowed all of us! And that was just one of his many mesmerizing tricks he performed. Besides his awesome performances, he was also a very cool person in general. Great personality! A true people person. In the process of finding a magician, I kept having troubles. For one, my budget was at a certain limit. And the second guideline was the magician would have to stay on board the boat for the entire 3 hour cruise. I actually had a couple magicians say they would only do magic for 2 hours and want to be dropped off somewhere. Michael was accommodating to all our needs. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for some awesome talent!

I hired Michael to surprise my son at his 15th birthday party. As you can imagine, trying to get and keep the attention of 15-year-old boys that are glued to their phones and video games is no easy feat! But, Michael was nothing short of magical! From the first trick to the last, they were mesmerized. Michael engaged all the guests in his show of jaw-dropping sleight-of-hand and illusions. All they could say was, "No way!" and "My mind is blown!" Watching the kids react with gasps, screams, and belly-laughs was almost as fun as watching the show! I had some adult friends over to help with the party and they freaked out as much as the kids! Michael is truly talented in the art of magic. My son enjoyed the show so much he insisted Michael stay for cake and ice cream and is already trying to think of the next party we can invite him to! I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again and highly recommend him to add excitement and fun to any gathering.

Hired Michael to perform strolling magic for an event with about 300 people, most of which were kids, and he did an amazing job making sure everyone got to see some magic! He is as efficient as his magic is incredible, and trust his magic is indeed incredible!

I hired Michael O'Brien for our 8th grade promotion party and he was a huge hit! The kids were enthralled with his close up magic and card tricks. I highly recommend Michael and would hire him again for future events!

Michael was amazing! He was punctual and very professional. I hired him for my daughters birthday party and he was incredible! We had an audience that ranged from ages 3-11 and he kept all the kids as well as adults captivated! I would never hire a different performer for any of my parties ever again! Michael surpassed all of my expectations!

We asked Michael to perform a magic show at my son's 8th birthday party. All the children were wrapped up in the show and excited about what was happening. My son had the biggest smile the whole time. My son is usually so shy and doesn't want attention but Michael was able to connect with him very quickly and had him doing most of the magic with him. Michael was easy to talk to on the phone and was happy to answer all my questions prior to booking him. He was professional in all aspects and also very easy to work with. Thank you, Michael!

I hired Michael to perform strolling magic to a party I hosted in my backyard. There were about 35 people, and Michael did a great job talking to different groups, engaging them, and performing wonderful illusions that left everyone amazed and thoroughly entertained. Michael is a consummate professional and also just a neat guy. If you have reservations about magicians being creepy or skeezy, you need not worry about Michael at all. He's very down-to-Earth—a "normal" guy who does extraordinary things with cards, rings, and other close-up effects. You won't be disappointed.

Michael O'Brien has been to LSFCC 3 times now, and each time he has impressed! Our event is structured around dinner with strolling magic followed by a kids magic show. Michael goes from table to table leaving astounded families; the kids are so amazed that they try to follow him to the next table! During the show Michael included as many kids as possible, and always kept up a stream of witty commentary/banter that the kids could understand but was also funny for the adults in the audience. The magic in the show was fantastic! I have seen 3 variations now and each time I left trying to figure out how the tricks work. Never one slip, just dazzling tricks. I definitely recommend hiring Michael, you won't be disappointed!

Hi! I had Michael come to a private Birthday Party Last Saturday Night to do strolling Magic. He came extra early to make sure he had his bearings which was a plus! He was a big hit with the guests, with his close up magic tricks, everyone was raving about him after the party. He did a 15 minute show for the entire party, with some mind blowing magic tricks. If anyone is looking for a magician to entertain I highly Recommend Michael !

Michael gave our New Years Eve party that extra flair. He has a wonderfully approachable personality. He mesmerized kids and adults at our family-friendly event. I can't wait to book Michael again! He is my go-to magician.

We hired Michael O'Brien for our company Holiday Party. I had never hired a magician before so I didn't know what to expect. Michael arrived on time and kept everyone entertained and laughing the whole time! It was such a treat to have him- he kept the party flowing smoothly and his magic tricks were amazing! I definitely recommend Michael for your next party!

Michael was a hit at our Company Holiday Party! He kept the crowd entertained as he showed his tricks; many asking him to re-do because they couldn't believe their eyes. This was my first time hiring a magician and was very pleased at his attitude, professionalism and talent. We would definitely recommend Michael O'Brien.

Hired Michael for an office party. He really wowed the crowd and kept them entertained. You won't go wrong with his show. And he is a great guy.

This is our second year having Michael entertain us. It was an overwhelming vote to have him back. Both our high school girls and the parents were amazed by him. A true entertainer and we look forward to seeing him next year for our annual "Tip Off Party".
Highly recommend Michael for you events!!

Michael performed at my dad's work reunion party as a strolling/close-up magician. Most of the attendees were over 60 years old but there were also middle aged adults and some young children. Michael was pleasant and entertaining and engaged with all guests in a thoughtful, fun, and sincere way. He was a pleasure to have at our event! He is a talented and entertaining magician!

I have had the pleasure of working with Michael O'Brien on two separate occasions. Both times he was easy to work with, communicated efficiently, and put on a marvelous show. My favorite part of watching Michael wow kids and adults alike was his strolling magic. Kids were so enthralled with the up close look at his magic that they would follow him from table to table wanting to see more! It was super cute & wonderful to see such great interaction with the kids :) Thank you Michael, I look forward to working with you again in the future!

Michael joined us for a Volunteer Appreciation Event at our church and everyone had so much fun!! It definitely made the event extra special and the volunteers were amazed by Michael's skill and definitely entertained. He has a warm and naturally funny personality and easily jumped right in with our guests! Would definitely recommend to a friend :)

Michael O'Brien was one of our performers at our Annual School Carnival. He did 2 hours of walking around and ended with a 1/2 hour focused magic show. I had kids coming up to me all the time saying they LOVED the magician and were amazed with his tricks. I was actually able to watch Michael during his show and was really entertained. His ability to entertain both parents and kids was great to watch. Michael O’Brien was also a pleasure to deal with prior to the event and during the event. He was very professional in all aspects. We will definitely be having him back next year. Trust me...HIRE Michael O'Brien!

Michael is master of his craft. A professional that can engage his audience and dazzle them with his skill. Michael goes the extra mile for his event hosts and will be a partner as well as a performer. Our guests were raving after the show and thanked us for including him in our evening. Thank you again!

I gave a small, intimate dinner party at my home and wanted a magician who was able to do up close in such an environment. His act was exactly what I was envisioning. My guests really enjoyed and appreciated his style.

I will definitely hire him again and refer him to others!!

First off—Michael is a consummate professional and a really great person. That’s a quality that can be hard to find in a magician. But beyond that, Michael’s effects are fantastic as well. I hate using the phrase “total package” but Michael really offers it all.

I worked with Michael on a corporate engagement that was a little unusual. He performed some effects while engaging in discussion about his craft and relating it to the audience. He was thoroughly engaged throughout, and deftly tailored his performance for the tone of the meeting. When it was over people didn’t want him to leave, and everyone had nothing but high praise for a truly entertaining experience.

His effects are well-executed, and he’s incredibly deft at adapting to different audiences with different needs. Because Michael spends time creating his own effects, he is constantly learning and evolving his repertoire to make it better and better.

He’s a pleasure to work with, and takes great care to ensure that his performance will be exactly right for YOU. Hiring a magician often comes with a stigma, but Michael is not a “traditional” magician in that way. He’s not creepy or aloof, and he’s not going to make you uncomfortable. On the contrary, Michael’s approachable demeanor is another thing that makes him such a great performer.

I’m already looking forward to the next time I have the opportunity to hire a magician because I know who I’m going to call, and you should too.

Michael strolled through our party of over 100 guests and performed magic for small groups during the cocktail hour. He engaged the "help" of the guests in some of the tricks. Michael was punctual, easy going, personable, and delightful entertainment. Look no further, this is the magician to hire for your event.

Michael entertained at our "Tip Off" Party, actually he made the party. Everyone there enjoyed his magic. I would HIGHLY recommend him for your next event.
Thank you Michael, again our party was a success with your presence.

Micheal , is a sure entertainer. He had all of us in awed and were trying to find out how he did all of his hand magic work. He entertained my mother in law 55th birthday guest who ages ranged from 5 to 60 years old. Thank you very much for not only the magic show bit your positive energy .

Michael O'Brien performed at my 40th birthday party in mid-March, and he was a wonderful entertainer. He is punctual, and he is great with communication to make sure that you will be getting the show that you want. He is happy to tailor his act to the appropriate audience. He kept the entire group -- whose ages ranged from small child to senior citizen -- thoroughly entertained during his full performance. I had asked him ahead of time whether he could involve my sister (who came in town for the party) as a volunteer during one of his magic tricks, and he happily obliged. My sister was very pleased to be included in the show. He is terrific with little kids -- he kept them mesmerized for the whole show. I was told later by a friend of mine that she was so happy that her son (who is normally afraid of large crowds and people he doesn't know) got up in front of everyone and was Michael's assistant for one of his tricks. My friend and her husband couldn't believe that their son was so happy to participate! Michael has a knack for making kids and adults feel very comfortable, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the show! After the show, Michael stayed at the party for a while and was very kind about talking with me and my husband about the show. Michael goes out of his way to make sure that all of the guests are intrigued and entertained, and I highly recommend Michael for your next party performance!

Michael preformed at our Junior League fundraising event "Lunafest" this past weekend and was absolutely AMAZING. He is exceptionally good at what he does and leaves all guests in awe. We had such a great experience with Michael from the very beginning. He was easy to get a hold of and followed up days before the event as well, which was very much appreciated. Michael is the best magician for any event you are throwing, he is punctual, professional and best of all the most extraordinary magician. We will definitely be asking Michael to preform at more events. Thank you so much Michael!

Michael delighted everyone at our party that had an opportunity to meet him. He was able to keep party members engaged for over three hours while not being obtrusive to other just mingling around. For anyone hesitating about him or his services, don't! He will accommodate to your needs and makes sure everyone has a great time. Highly recommended and looking forward to when I may have him at another event.

Michael was very professional, arrived early, was very pleasant with residents, and all of the children loved him! I would definitely have him back for another event that I through! Highly recommended. One of the best I have seen!

I was so excited to find Michael! He came and did amazing! Even kept a 4 year old girls attention (while Elsa was there) couldn't believe it! And left a lasting impression on my daughter who loves to learn magic now! And totally had almost all the adults sucked in the WHOLE time! Will recommend him to anyone and everyone! All ages!!

We have asked Michael to perform for my Dad's birthday two years in a row! He is a fantastic magician and we thoroughly enjoyed his performances both times. He is quite original in his dialogue and doesn't just amaze with awesome tricks, but with awesome jokes as well! (we like the cheesy stuff) We were also impressed that he had different routines, and things we had never seen before. That being said, even the tricks that got repeated were done so well we still had our minds blown. Michael is a wonderful magician and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for awesome entertainment for any sort of get-together.
