Latest 5 Star review on YELP! Aug.9, 2012
I rarely
write reviews on Yelp, but just had to because Mike just recently did
my son's first birthday party. He was Awesome! Very professional,
showed up an hour early to set up and talk story with us to say hi and
figure out our plans and ideas for the party.
Very accommodating, did balloons for the kids a little longer to make sure that every kid that wanted them got them. We had him do the Classic show and the kids had the biggest smiles and looks of awe on their faces. He did a great job of getting the adults and crowd participating as well to keep things funny.
Feedback from people that came to the party was terrific. Saw his show before, but he keeps adding new routines to keep things interesting and fun. So, if you want someone professional, funny, good for kids and adults, and keeps things fresh, Mike is your man.
Highly recommended!............................................Sid H. (Happy Host/Dad)

I found Mike Ching online when I was scrambling for a magician to add to the entertainment line up for my daughter's first birthday. I contacted him a few days before the birthday party, hoping he would be able to put something together. He did an absolutely AMAZING job!!!
It was last minute notice for him but he was still able to put on a fabulous show! Everyone loved his walking magic (he went around to various guests and did one on one magic tricks) AND he did a full show in addition to that!
He was so nice, and very personable, and entertaining! The show was a hit, everyone enjoyed it, kids and adults!! I was so thrilled to have him at the party, and can't wait to have him at the next party!

had to tell you thank you, thank you, thank you, right away!
You put on a spectacular show! Everyone at my party loved it. Everyone complimented me for finding the best magician they've ever seen and kept telling me how funny the show was. So thank you for making my daughter's night a very memorable one." Chenelle - 1st Birthday Party - November 14, 2004

"A huge success!
looking to mystify, entertain and satisfy an audience! We could not have been more pleased with Michael's contribution to a wonderful weekend! Michael worked closely with me to learn our needs and designed his performance accordingly. He began by strolling through the party with some great close-up magic. The entertainment value was evident by the laughter and applause emanating from his area of the party. This was followed by a mystifying stage performance with much comedy. (Mike contacted me days prior to get the inside news going around the office. This personalized touch really brought the performance home and had them rolling in the aisles! Feedback I've received include a lot of 'That was perfect!'" T. Deegen - Account Executive - Peck Sims Mueller - Corporate Retreat |
