Highly Recommend!

We hired Mike for a company holiday party (300 people) this past weekend and he did an excellent job - he exceeded our expectations!

I was only able to see a few of Mike’s tricks because he was in such high demand, and I got endless compliments about his skills as well as the way he engaged our guests. I would recommend Mike and hire him again in a heartbeat!

Everything and more that we hope for!

Mike could not have done a better job. Exceptionally professional and exceptionally talented. He made sure that every single person at our wedding got to experience his magic. He even went above and beyond to do a personal show for one of the children before he left and ended up giving him his deck of cards. If you're getting married or really just having any event, do yourself a favor and have Mike join you. You will not regret it!

Hit with the crowd

Mike was great. I had a cocktail party of about 55-60. He was a very easy mingler, moved around the room, blended right in to the various groups. Wowed everyone with his card tricks and slight of hand. He was impressive and my guests were surprised with the added entertainment.

Great for Corporate Events!

We hired Mike for our company's annual summer picnic. Our group ranges from 20's to 80's and everyone ranted and raved about his tricks! I would highly recommend Mike for any event - he's great at what he does! He even mastered his tricks on a moving boat - which is not easy to do! Thanks, Mike!

Magically Awesome!!!

Mike's strolling tricks were really spectacular and our guests loved it! From my first interaction with Mike via GigSalad, to confirming details and Mike accommodating our plans, ALL his slight of hand tricks, through to the last 'grand finale' trick... my expectations were exceeded. He was really great with the group, mostly 50's-ish couples but also very curious 8 year old nephew and Mom in her 70's. Everyone had a lot of fun and was amazed. Dependable, highly personable, and very talented professional magician. This was a great 'find' as a simple addition to our birthday party that made a big impact! Thanks.

Amazing Entertainer

We used this performer to entertain guests at a 50th birthday party. He was amazing. There was never a dull moment. It's been 3 months and people are still talking about his acts. He strolled around showing guests his tricks. And had all of my guests wanting more. He does a variety of card and other tricks. I would use him as an entertainer over and over again. He will not disappoint. He was prompt with his scheduled time and did not run for the door like some entertainers, when he was done. I really enjoyed his acts. If you want someone who is prompt, courteous, polite and an excellent magic performer, Sleight of hand is your man. They only offer five stars but he deserves 10

Absolutely Wonderful!

Mike did an absolutely amazing job at our event. We held a campus formal at MSU and Mike was easily the highlight of the evening. I have been getting lots of feedback from people who went to the event saying how much they loved Mike and his work. He has an awesome personality that makes him very funny and approachable, and his magic floored me every time. And he was very patient and understanding when issues with the event inadvertently came up. I would absolutely recommend Mike for any event you have that you want to add a unique element to the mix. I was very impressed by his work and his professionalism, and I will certainly be thinking of him for events in the future.

Just an outstanding job

I had this fun and talented magician in for the Gran Reopening of my restaurant following a remodel. I was a bit apprehensive as I questioned how well he would take to strolling the restaurant and connecting with guests. Let me say clearly, within seconds of arriving (on time I might add) he was out and moving through the dining room and performing table side tricks for both kids and adults. I had numerous guests tell me how much they enjoyed him and how amazing he was. He was the perfect fit and I can't imagine a venue that he wouldn't be able to nail. We will be having him back. Trust me, this is the guy you want!

Lots of compliments

Mike was a wonderful addition to our BBQ/birthday. As he went from table to table our guests were truly entertained by his craftiness. Phil and I loved the "souvenir" he gave us from the trick he performed just for us. I kept hearing..."Wow, how did he do that? He's good!". People asked me for his card before they left. I wil definitely ask for him again and recommend him to everyone. His price was reasonable too. Thank you Mike!

Perfect!

He came in, he didn't need to set up, pulled a deck of cards from his pocket and did some of the most amazing things imaginable. Through out the night he performed with great energy, and kept us all amazed. It made a great ice breaker, and he used a lot of participants from different groups to really unite the whole room. If you are considering hiring a magician, this is the guy.

What to Expect

An amazing night of laughter and amazement! Your guests will have a central topic to break the ice with, as they are baffled by charming sleight of hand. I can bring the entertainment directly to your guests table, or stroll through the crowds at a cocktail mingle. I work with small props and objects making my performance very minimal and stress free! My act has been built up for adults, with clever surprises and killer endings!

About

I started magic at a young age, probably around 10 years old. I got interested from a family friend who happened to own a magic shop in Garden City MI. He taught me, and sold me, all my magic for three years. Eventually he was diagnosed with cancer and passed away soon after. I don’t know if it was his death or if I had just lost interest in magic at that point; but I stopped performing soon after. I would perform simple effects for friend’s family here or there but nothing to serious.

It wasn't till I became a husband and father that I decided to take my hobby seriously. I buckled down and started practicing 4 hours a day, and reading every book I could. In the first year I read and listened to over 50 books on magic, public speaking, communicating, and business. My constant drive and passion caught the eye of many people and I gained traction quickly in the community. Working bars, and small parties, I gained the experience and the showmanship skills that have given me a good name among clients and peers.

Today I have worked countless private events and weddings with the magic that I developed for adults throughout my career. I have worked for large clients like Chrysler and UHY Tax Consultants. I have worked at restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings, Denny’s, Ram’s Horn, and Station 885. I have performed magic at casinos like The Motor City Casino, and have made an act that I will continue to evolve as my career moves forward. “The world wants to be fooled”

Thank you for reading!

Additional Booking Notes

There are no difficult set ups or requirements for my act! Although I recommend my act for ages 13+ (21+ for my drink act). That is about it, so sit back and enjoy your event, I got the entertainment covered!
