Michael did close up magic at a special event for students. He wandered tables and engaged students in his magic. He was well received and students are still talking about how he did "that"! Very engaging entertainer.

The kids really enjoyed him! He involved the audience and joked with them too. Good entertainment for a large group from age 1 to 10.

Michael performed at our camp for foster kids. It was a particularly tough week for a couple of our kids who were between foster homes and he called one of them up to help with a magic trick. She had been having a very negative attitude up until that point but after that started opening up and talking to everyone about her experience. She even imitated his act for our camp talent show later in the week. The kids loved his performance! Michael put some smiles on the faces of some kids who really needed to smile!

Details: Community event • Stage show • Balloon twisting • 11 - 20 guests • 7 - 10 years old • Community center / church
