Michael Griffin – Magician | Escape Artist
Overview
Intensely Original Magic & Escapes, as seen on America's Got Talent
Most entertainers spend the first ten minutes winning over the room. I usually get a head start, because a lot of your guests may have seen me on America's Got Talent. Even Howard Stern said "I really like you a lot" on AGT.
This is interactive magic, mind reading, and escapes that shouldn't be possible, with plenty of comedy. Your guests become part of it. It's built around the people in the room.
What your event gets:
- A show that fits an intimate room or a big stage, staged or not
- A performer who has worked corporate events, fairs and festivals, colleges, and private events

May 9, 2023Amazing performer and amazing person
We had Michael perform atbour festival. He was a big hit with the kids. Unfortunately, due to iffy weather and poor planning we did not have the crowd we had hoped. Regardless, he dud a fantastic job. His performance and the message he delivers were stellar. We really hope to have him back next year. Highly recommend!

December 13, 2022Enjoyable Event
Everything went very smoothly, and everyone had an enjoyable time. I as the person planning the event had more expectations of mind reading, illusions and less standard magic tricks like cup and ball tricks. He
needs to work on the comedy part of the act a little more. The group told me that they had a good time and enjoyed the evening and the participants enjoyed being a part of the act so, all in all I guess that is what really mattered. We had a group of 16 in all and Michael was able to keep the act moving at a steady pace. He was on time, he communicated throughout the booking process, and he was very professional. I feel that the cost of the 45 min. performance was a little on the steep side even taking into consideration his 6 hours round trip travel time to and from the event. We would consider having Michael back for another event in the future.

July 30, 2022Did not show for event
We scheduled the event. I sent all requested information and he did not show up. I work for an assisted living community and we had a higher turn out than most of our events because the residents were so excited. I finally was able to reach him by phone and he said he didn't put it in the calendar. He gave me his email to contact him and I have still not heard back. I tried to email one last time this morning in hopes of working something out for our residents.
