Michael Griffin – Magician | Escape Artist

"He was very funny and his magic acts were out of this world. My volunteer ages range from 16 - 94 and each and every one of my volunteers loved his performance. I would definitely use him again and would highly recommend him for your gathering or event."
– Marci Thomas, Asbury Heights

"Great crowd pleaser. Funny and worked well for all ages. We had an adult party with children present and everyone was involved."
– Ashley D., Private Party

"Hi, Michael,
Your show was awesome! How did you ever do that needle and thread stuff? It blew my mind! Thank you for being a part of the event. Thanks again!!"
– Audrey L.

"Very, very entertaining. Shocking, thrilling and upbeat!"

Interactive Magic That Owns the Room

Your guests won't just watch. They'll be part of it.

Most entertainment happens to an audience. Michael Griffin's show happens with one.

From the first moment he steps in front of your group, the room shifts. What follows is a fast-moving, carefully crafted mix of interactive magic, mind reading, and sharp comedy, driven by real participation, built around the people in your room, and paced so tightly there isn't a moment to lose interest. Guests who came in as strangers leave with shared experiences they'll still be referencing weeks later.

"My kids and I were blown away. They couldn't stop talking about it afterward."
— Private Event Client

No big stunts. No risky elements. No awkward silences.

This show was designed for real event spaces: corporate dinners, private parties, college events, theaters, and everything in between. It doesn't need a crane, a water tank, or a stage the size of a football field. It needs an audience. The more engaged they are, the better it gets. Michael has spent decades making sure every audience gets engaged, whether they planned to or not.

The comedy is clean and lands across every age group. The participation is respectful. Nobody gets embarrassed, nobody gets put on the spot unfairly. What they get is the feeling that something genuinely impossible just happened right in front of them, and somehow they were part of making it happen.

"Bar none, the best magic trick I've ever seen."
— Festival Booker

The credentials are real. So is the experience.

Michael has appeared on America's Got Talent, where Howard Stern told him on air, "I really like you a lot," and logged over 17 segments across Masters of Illusion and Extreme Escapes. He is the only two-time winner of TV's World Magic Awards for Best Escape Artist. He carries a standing $100,000 open challenge that nobody has ever collected.

He brings all of that experience into every private performance. Not as a headline act doing a scaled-down version of something bigger, but as a performer who understands exactly how to read a room, control the energy, and deliver something your guests will genuinely remember.

What you're booking:
✔️ Interactive magic and mind reading built around your audience
✔️ Clean comedy that works across every age group
✔️ Respectful participation, guests feel included, never exposed
✔️ Tight pacing with zero downtime
✔️ Big reactions without big production requirements
✔️ A performer who has done this thousands of times and knows exactly how it ends

A note on pricing:
Michael is not the least expensive option, and that's intentional. You're paying for preparation, experience, and the absolute confidence that the entertainment will deliver. Event planners who have worked with him once tend to call back. That's the metric that matters.

"The audience never even knew what hit them."
— Theater Manager

If you want a room full of laughter, real reactions, and guests still talking about your event weeks later, this is that show.
