The entire family enjoyed and talked about his show for most of the party after he had left. Very interactive, funny, cooperative, considerate, and kind. Great guy. Pleasure meeting you sir. Money well spent.

About Michael Griffin | Escape Artist | Magician
Intensely Original Magic & Escapes, as seen on America's Got Talent Most entertainers spend the first ten minutes winning over the room. I usually get a head start, because a lot of your guests may have seen me on America's Got Talent. Even Howard Stern said "I really like you a lot" on AGT. The show is interactive magic, mind reading, and escapes that shouldn't be possible, with plenty of comedy. Your guests become part of it. It's built around the people in the room, not around me. What your event gets: - A show that fits an intimate room or a big stage, staged or not - Nothing on your end: no crew, no rigging, no tech setup - A performer who has worked corporate events, fairs and festivals, colleges, and private events As seen on America's Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Masters of Illusion, and Ripley's Believe It or Not!, and a two-time World Magic Award winner for Best Escape Artist. "Griffin is in a category all by himself." LA Times "He commanded the room with professionalism, confidence, and a level of skill that left our guests genuinely amazed." Krisstee Pierce, Event Planner, Emerald Ball
Reviews
Michael Griffin gives a wonderful interactive show. Very funny guy and a great magician.
Michael was very easy to work with & entertained our group for about 45 min. He was entertaining & involved the audience in his act.
Michael preformed for my daughter's 5th birthday and did an excellent show. It was enjoyed by the kids and adults. I highly recommend him if you're looking for fun interactive entertainment!
I hired Michael for my Halloween party and he ended up canceling because he “forgot” he had another job that same day...
Michael performed at our camp for foster kids. It was a particularly tough week for a couple of our kids who were between foster homes and he called one of them up to help with a magic trick. She had been having a very negative attitude up until that point but after that started opening up and talking to everyone about her experience. She even imitated his act for our camp talent show later in the week. The kids loved his performance! Michael put some smiles on the faces of some kids who really needed to smile!
Haven't see the event yet, but his responses and willingness to do our event is exciting. He also has a very fun personality from talking to him on the phone.
I had no idea what to expect when we booked Michael for our 10 year Olds birthday, and I must say; I was impressed. I honestly don't think impressed is a good enough word, mystified? Shocked? Awe struck? Whatever the proper term; Michael did not disappoint. The man is a true showman, and he knows his stuff. His act was appropriate for all ages, and I will more than likely call him the next time I have a special event.
Michael was very experienced in dealing with a bunch of 10 year olds. He fit right in with the group of kids and adults alike. Other than his main show involving kids/adults, he also had a side sit down show with kids which was quite popular. Highly recommend for kids' birthday parties.
Michael arrived early… Set up and was ready to go with children before going into his complete show...Played to the audience perfectly with excellent patron participation... we provided just the right amount of levity and professionalism
