SANTA
Jolly and fat is Santa,
He comes down chimneys
With his bag of toys.
Then back to the housetop
without any noise.
LUCY PALUMBO, Grade 5
For over forty years, Mike Ihrig has portrayed the legend of Santa Claus. Thru the COVID epidemic he visited an average of 300 homes a year on the ZOOM platform ((phone number hidden)2). But now he is out visiting his friends and families.

December 21, 2025We have a Santa every year for this party, and we usually just force one of the kids dad's to dress up and pass out gifts. This year all of the parents were taken back by how special Santa made this experience. The kids are still talking about him the next day, an amazing performance. Will be booking next year!!

December 14, 2025We hired Santa to surprise the kids at a Christmas party. He was so realistic and had so many fun tricks up his sleeve! Both the adults and kids of all ages were entertained. Our guests were talking about how great he was for the rest of the evening. Thanks, Santa!

December 8, 2024So many happy parents commented how great of a job Mr. Claus was doing at our event. He was chatty and friendly with the children and did an amazing job talking and singing with them. He went above and beyond.

Hi Jackie, Parents and Santa's Angels! I am so happy that I got to meet and talk with you all! You are all so wonderful to let this ole elf come to visit you. I hope to see you again some time. Until then, please make good choices because that guarantees you a spot on my nice list. Love, Santa

Santa's Magical Visit
Hi Channon, Thanks for the great review! I spend many weeks starting at the end of the Christmas season working on new magic, games and give aways, but keeping some of the old, too. No two years are exactly the same; just like snow flakes! Magically, Santa Santa's Magical Visit

When I come to your home or business, I bring the love of one of the most famous characters in the world. I tell jokes, sing songs, talk Santa history (I am 471 years old, don't you know) and carry many surprises depending on the type and size of my audience, all of which is included in my fee. In the past I have given out stickers, tattoos, Santa money, naughty or nice coins or cards, official elf certificates, bubbles, quiz sheets and much more!
HE'S BACK!!!
Through the years there has been a legend…
…the legend of Santa Claus.
Mike Ihrig, magical entertainer, continues on this path as one of the most dedicated Santas in the world.
It is not about the beard.
It is not about the suit.
It is about the heart of the person inside of the suit.
For over thirty-five years, Mike has been portraying the legend.
From his humble beginnings in 1971 wearing a suit made for him by his wife of less than one month, to his custom suit in 1986 by Elizabeth Babcock of the Santa Claus Suit Manufacturing Company, to his Coca-Cola suit and now to his traditional Olde World suit, Mike portrays the correct image for your event.
Mike's second love is magic. Mike started performing in 1979 in the entertainment capital of Miami, Florida. Having received a magic set for Christmas from Mrs. Claus, he embarked on a journey performing magic from table side in restaurants, on stage at hotels and country clubs to in a living room or back yard for a child's birthday party. Mike is an Order of Merlin Shield in the International Brotherhood of Magicians and past President of Rochester NY's Assembly 47 of the Society of American Magicians. Mike has over thirty five years of continuous service in both of these organizations. Mike was the Territorial Vice President of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, covering six magic club "Rings" throughout the state of New York.
Mike has owned two magic shops (Mike's Magic & Merriment - Rochester, NY and The Magic Island - Fairport, NY) and invents and manufactures magic and has had a line of Christmas magic for use with both Santas and magicians.
This is to be decided when the event is talked about.

To be determined if needed for a particular event.
Santa works very hard every year to make everything as fresh and new as possible while maintaining the history of years gone by.
Usually a chair. Other items, if any, will be discussed later.
