January 12, 20254 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!

December 30, 2023Amazing...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.

"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.
– C. Bell
