Thank you Alfred for your kind review. I am glad we avoided the rain, my club juggling debut for a kids audience went well, and that all the kids had a fun party and a great time. Note that the balloons will last longer if you keep them out of direct sunlight. Thanks again!

Thank you Scott for your kind words. My thank you is already in the mail to you. - Magic Michael

Hello Farah,

I am sorry that your experience was not the same as the enjoyment which your guests expressed to me right after the show last weekend. As you recall, you changed the show start time and location on the day of the party, and importantly, chose to serve buffet food just prior to and during the show, which unfortunately creates the distraction of eating and food noise during the show. This added to the noise of several other very young toddlers at your 1 year old son's party, including the one child who wandered into my performing area during the show, and again later when we were arranging the Human Xylophone. While little kids are cute to some people, it is very distracting to the performer (me), and apparently to you too, judging by your comments.

I also observed that the kids in the front were reluctant to sit on the restaurant floor in their nice suits and outfits. This is perhaps understandable, but their standing up blocked the view of some guests, and is not as conducive to a show as kids comfortably sitting on a living room or den floor (or in chairs), but I can't make them sit. In retrospect, blankets might have helped addressed this. Also, a microphone might have helped focus your guests during the performance, but your husband indicated not to use it just prior to me starting the performance.

Again I am sorry you were not thrilled with my show. I hope you will contact me privately to see if I can address your observations further, as I always strive to ensure that my magic and show will thoroughly entertain everyone as much as possible, even under less than optimal conditions.

Thank you Dana for your feedback. I promised a 1 hour show, and felt obligated to provide that, even if it appeared a few younger kids may have started to get a little restless towards the end. As I specifically mentioned when I arrived, your all hardwood floor would be a rough surface for young kids to sit on for the whole show. A few more chairs, or rug, would have been nice for kids or adult guests.

Also, the Halloween-themed rubber balls that I gave out about half way through my show were a little distracting, and in retrospect, should be given out at the end. Your comment may confirm that lesson learned - thanks! - Magic Michael
