4 yr old Birthday Party

Most Excellent! Very, very fun for the children, and the adults too! Miss Lori kept the 4, 5, and 6 year olds laughing for the entire 20-minute show. Followed by face painting of which every child wanted to participate in and loved the outcome. The kids were captivated and thoroughly entertained. It was very well organized and made it very easy for the parents to entertain 10 kids at one time. Highly recommend, Miss Lori!

Amazing...very interactive

We have hired a few different Santa's for our extended family Christmas party over the years. We have found our forever Santa and Mrs. Claus. They are very interactive with the children. Even my older niece and nephew (11) have a renewed belief in Santa. Santa knew so much about them...how could he not be real. Our children ranged in age of 6 months to 11. Mr and Mrs Claus found ways to interact with each of them.
Thank you for making our Christmas so special.

Absolutely Perfect!

I wanted to do something unique and memorable for my daughter's 18th birthday. This morning I woke up, thought about a singing telegram, did a search, and could find them easily. Communication was fast and Lori is very talented! She took the information I provided her on their intake form and made the perfect message, dialogue, and song for my daughter. Her character was a nerdy college counselor. She is a great singer too! I will definitely keep A Touch of Magi Entertainment in mind for the future!

Best and kindest Santa ~ Ever!

Our Santa was exceptional with the kids! From his look and his demeanor, he was perfect!
He came with books and stories and a huge heart, making it so easy for the kids to engage quickly and meaningfully. We are looking forward to working together again next year!

Memorable 18th Birthday Present

Choosing the Nifty Nerd Character, Lori really hammed it up for this group of high school students! Lori was able to create this event at a moments notice, and deliver this birthday message on time. The birthday girl was surprised, and her guests were happy to participate in her jingle. Lori is so creative and talented. She loves to engage her audience to make this a memorable moment. If you want to make a memory for someone, Lori is the one to call!

Noah from A touch of Magic did an outstanding job interacting and entertaining our littlest guests at our 50th Anniversary event for our family business. He was fast and efficient but still gave each customer special attention. He handled our volume of children so well! This was money well spent with a company that delivered what they promised!

Kids and Adults had the BEST TIME!

We had so much fun! We had about 25 kids from ages 2 up and they all enjoyed Mark's show! He was hilarious and so great with the kids! He had all the adults laughing and enjoying themselves as well! He went above and beyond and I would highly recommend them. A ton of people there asked me for their info as well because they enjoyed it so much! They definitely were the hit of the party and we can't thank them enough for all their hard work and everything they did prior to the event to help us with details as well! All around such an amazing experience and such a nice couple! :) Thank you again Lori and Mark!!

Best Banquet Entertainment We've Ever Had!

I knew they had a good reputation, and I felt confident after speaking with Lori on the phone, so I figured everything would be just fine. And then it was better than fine. It was, hands down, the best entertainment we have ever brought to our corporate banquet!!! We do staff evaluations (on the food, decorations, invitations, door prizes and entertainment), and I had more people compliment the show than ever before. They loved the music, the harmony, the comedy and the audience participation. (And we all appreciated that it was clean.) My assistant said that her face hurt from laughing so much. I don't know how we're going to top this next year.

I highly recommend this company.

Great entertainment for preschoolers

I hired Lori from A Touch of Magic as a balloon twister for my 4-year old's birthday party. I was very impressed with how well she worked with this age group. When she first arrived, my son was very shy and hesitant, but she worked her magic and had him laughing and highly engaged in no time. He had so much fun. And he absolutely loved his balloon ninja turtles! I definitely would recommend A Touch of Magic and Lori in particular to anyone.

Half Pint (Lori) Made our Daughter's Carnival Party Amazing!

For our Daughter's 7th Birthday she wanted a Carnival Party We knew we wanted to have a clown and face painting for sure and called Touch of Magic Entertainment, That was the best decision we could have made We hired Half Pint to come and perform her act for the kids and do the face painting as well and the kids went wild for her, as did the adults at the party she was AMAZING and to this day people are still talking about that party and the clown and it was almost a year ago. We can't thank her enough for making the party that much more exciting and wonderful!! If your looking to have a fun entertaining party shes a must have!

Thank you just doesn't say enough!!!!!!!!

You guys are great. I felt confident after talking to Lori on the phone, and then everything went exactly the way she said it would. Even down to the neighbor who actually did start mowing his lawn when the show began! I though she was joking when she said that it happens during outdoor birthday parties. It was a great show, and the magic and balloons were exceptional. Tatum's last words before he finally fell asleep tonight were "I really loved my party!". So, if I had a better phrase, I'd say it. But instead, I'll have to settle for THANK YOU!

Great value! Best face painting EVER.

I hired these guys for our Night to Unite block party last year and WOW! She was fast, funny, and made the most amazing faces I have ever seen, including really awesome monster faces for my 9 & 12 yr old sons. As a parent who worries about these things, it was really reassuring to know that the products they use are all FDA food quality grade products. If it's safe to eat, then I know it's safe to put on my kids' faces.

Lorri came to our daughter's 7th birthday last night. The kids howled with laughter at her comedy routine. She was wonderful with the kids and was great at handling 15 spirited little girls! Lorri did a fantastic job with face painting. She can do all kids of faces and the kids loved watching too. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and touch of magic for your next bday party!!!

Lorri Michals is a phenomenal and talented hypnotist! She had all of the women laughing at our Women's Expo. The volunteers that were hypnotized were hilarious! She has a magical and flawless way of having the volunteers do clean and funny things without feeling embarrassed or humiliated afterwards. I appreciated how audience members of all ages could enjoy the show and be entertained! She was just what the Doctor ordered for me! Thank you for the laughter therapy Lorri! Gretchen Prohofsky

Review by Sherri G.

I hired Lorri Michals for my company's annual sales retreat. Ever year I try to bring in entertainment that will not only entertain my employees but that will provide an outlet for true fun and team building - not an easy task. I have failed at this task in the past, until hiring Lorri. My employees, months later, are still talking about how much fun they had at Lorri's show. I have employees who say they have never laughed as hard as they did the night she performed. I can honestly say my sales team is a more cohesive group after sharing this experience together. I, along with my employees, can't wait to bring Lorri back to Denver again for our next retreat. I highly recommend Lorri Michals to any business who is looking for truly professional entertainment.

Lorri Michals and A Touch of Magic were awesome! First of all, we had to reschedule our show due to an ice storm. They were very accomodating and worked with us so we could still use them. Finally, the show was simply incredible. Our audience (employees) were mesmerized and laughing hysterically throughout the show. We will definitely use them again!

We had a wonderful experience with A Touch of Magic. Each staff member I spoke to before the event, was professional and extremely friendly. The communication was excellent. Lorri did an outstanding job! Our group consisted of 60 people, and Lorri put everyone at ease - there was no problem getting enough volunteers. I especially appreciated that her show was "G-rated", as promised, but still hilarious! Everyone had a great time! I would highly recommend Lorri Michals, and A Touch of Magic Comedy and Hypnosis Entertainment, to my friends and colleagues. Thank you for your contribution in making our evening a success!

"We had A Touch of Magic at our company's family day picnic. They were GREAT! The kids loved them! The performance was appropriate for all ages, the balloon art was a hit with all the kids, and the face painting was absolutely AMAZING! We will definitely hire them again."

"We have had Oscar and Half Pint visit our small preschool in South MPLS for 10 years. We don't dream of using anyone else. Our preschool is very diverse and Oscar and Half Pint have always hit a home-run with all of our kids and families -- even the ones who speak another language. Their physical humor is funny in whatever language you speak. I have also seen them take a child who is terrified by clowns, work their magic with humor and child development understanding, to make the child love Oscar and Half Pint. As an educator, I would highly recommend Oscar and Half Pint! "

Testimonials

We have never worked with a hypnotist for this type of event, and some of my colleagues were very skeptical when I mentioned booking one. I was able to see Lorri perform in person to see if she was appropriate for our group, and I knew after watching her show that she was perfect for our event. The show was spectacular! Our managers really enjoyed the show and it was a perfect ending to our evening event. Lorri even customized the show to provide some McDonalds humor. The show was very funny and Lorri was sensitive to our corporate image. She handled the group size of nearly 700 people fabulously. The audience included managers ages 18-50 and they truly enjoyed it. Based on our experience, we will definitely consider Lorri for future events. Thank you again for a wonderful show and for making our event a success!

– S. Overby

We are so glad we hired your company . . . . You were easy to work with on scheduling and made it a very easy process from beginning to end. Lorri Michals made it a memorable evening for everyone present. We were very impressed at how much the audience responded to her and how much fun everyone had. She kept everyones attention from the beginning until the end.

– M. Campbell

Thank you so very much for the fabulous entertainment last night. Your show was spectacular and will continue to be talked about for a very long time. You and your company made this a very special event for us and we greatly appreciate it. We will be happy to be a referral source for you as we were more than satisfied with your performance. You are fantastic, spectacular and a lovely entertainer

– J. Johanns

Hiring Lorri was one of the best decisions I ever made! Lorri very quickly put the entire group at ease, made us feel very comfortable that under hypnosis, no one would be asked to do anything that would embarrass them. She also made us laugh with her charming demeanor. When Lorri asked for volunteers, more rushed the stage than we had seats available!! We laughed until we cried, and afterwards, everyone said that Lorri was the best entertainment we had ever had!

– E. Lasner

A Touch of Magic was great to work with! From the pre-planning all the way through to the final paperwork they did everything possible to make our event a success. Lorri was very funny and entertaining on stage! We have never done an event quite like this before and it was a big hit. People are still talking about it! The best part was that it was good, clean fun.
