We hired Mitch to do strolling magic and a stage show for a group of around 75-80 farmers and ag industry professionals. Everyone loved it! His strolling magic hooked everyone in and the stage show was captivating. He even integrated people from the audience into the show. People are still talking about it! We switch entertainment every year for this event, but Mitch is someone I would definitely have back in the future or book for another event.
