Initially, our staff did not know what to expect, but you won us over and you brought us on
side.
Every single one of our staff had positive comments. Our supervisor said, ―I can‘t imagine
how he does all that stuff.‖ Other social workers said: ―The levitating flower was
enchanting;‖ ―The lemon trick was unbelievable;‖ and ―Mike really had us going—we
shouted out, we laughed, we OOed and AWed—what a fantastic show!‖

to be exceptional, visiting each table in turn. During the Mind Kontrol show he involved
many members of the audience, his interpersonal skills are exceptional as is his show. In

group has been outstanding!‖

Not only were you entertaining, you were charming, friendly and totally captivating so that
everyone went home talking about how much they enjoyed the party and how great it was
to have you joining them at their tables and doing your magic. My only regret is that I
didn't stop the festivities and give you time to do a full show. Please use me as a reference
if you ever need one. I can't say enough good things about your talent and your ability to
entertain. Many thanks and best wishes!‖

figure out how you do what you did! That tells me that everyone was truly and deeply
engaged by your show – just what I wanted! Not only are you a great magician, you are

with our staff as well. Most comments centred around the entertainment being the ―best
ever‖. Since we have been having this party annually for over 20 years: that‘s really saying
something. I know we are a little hard to control; we are a boisterous group but you
handled it well and went with the flow. Your mingling with us before the dinner was too
much fun; one table told me they were laughing so hard they were crying. Everyone was
truly amazed at the magic/mind reading portion of the event; it was the highlight of the
night. I would highly recommend you for any event and I am happy to provide feedback if
someone wants to contact me directly.‖
