Marvelous Mister Mike was absolutely wonderful at my son's 7th birthday party! The magic show was a huge hit with both the kids and the adults. He had everyone completely captivated from start to finish.
He was fantastic with the young crowd, very interactive, funny, and engaging. He invited the kids to yell out answers and be part of the show, which had them beyond excited. They could hardly stay in their seats. One of the things that made him especially fun was how he played along with the tricks, sometimes pretending not to notice something obvious or acting like he wasn’t very good at magic, and the kids thought that was hilarious.
He brought such a fun, lighthearted energy and really helped make the party feel special. We’re so glad we chose Marvelous Mister Mike, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a magician who truly knows how to entertain a crowd.

Mike is an absolute delight and professional entertainer. He is very accommodating and has a trick in his sleeve for all age groups, which was what I was very wary of initially.The audience from young kids to adults were all glued to him which is an extremely tough job to satisfy and he did it with ease owing to his command on his trade .If his magic kept everyone involved, his balloon figures are amazing and the icing on the cake. The kids enjoyed the intricately done balloons and held on to their prized souvenir .I would not hesitate to have him as my entertainer for future gigs.

We were lucky enough to find Mike last minute and he did a great job! This was a party for a 3 year old so we had him make balloon animals for everyone and they were a huge hit. Our favorites were the penguin, the octopus and the pink spider for the birthday girl. We would absolutely use Mike again!

He entertained the kids for over an hour. Everyone was giggling happily and at the end he maid at least two balloons for each kid. He was patient and super nice.
