First time hiring a Magician for a kid's birthday party
I was impressed! Michael's magic act kept 18 8-11 year old girls captivated for an hour! I appreciated that he customized the show for their interest and maturity levels. He was super patient with their abundance of curiosity. My husband and I thought he was hilarious. His act had enough quips to keep the adults entertained, too!
