About
I have the experience, so you don't have to. I offer a complete production, including lights, sound and staging if needed. If your event is small, that's okay, too. My prices are very reasonable for any size program or location.
I am the premium magician in the Memphis/Mid-South area. All of my programs are 100% audience participation and family friendly.
I'm glad to help you plan your event.

Michael Clayton - The Magician received my inquiry and responded promptly. He answered all my questions, and even gave suggestions for what type of performance would best suit our event.
He was friendly and very audience-oriented, and his story telling had everyone engaged. Our audience ranged from 2 to 65 years old, and everyone that I asked said they thoroughly enjoyed it! The magic was great for all ages, but I do think the adults were more amazed than the children! We did choose to have the bunny, and Mopsie was the sweetest. My birthday boy loves magic, so he had his own shiny vest, top hat and cape to wear as he participated in the show. Fun was had by all, and the one-hour show was just enough that the kids stayed focused and participating.
Details: Birthday party • I'm flexible • 21 - 40 guests • 4 - 6 years old • 7 - 10 years old • 18 or older • 11 - 14 years old • Private residence (outdoors)

Michael performed at our 8-year-old son's birthday and was terrific. He entertained a rather raucous bunch of kids and quickly settled them down with a variety of tricks and banter. He also went out of his way to involve our son in his act, and was very easy to work with. I highly recommend him.
