Hi Mike-
It was great having you at our meeting on Saturday! Everyone had amazing energy and all I heard were good things about the show. We are all still mystified with everything that you did. Keeps everyone guessing and the interaction with bringing the crowd up made it an overall great night. Good luck with the next group in the upcoming weeks.
Thanks again

Mike has been so great to work with. I recently hired him for two very different events, one a large corporate kids event, and the other an adult cocktail party. He was able to read the crowd flawlessly and cater to the audiences to make it an intriguing and exciting experience for all. He worked with our quick timelines for booking and was always ready to go well before his start time which is an event planners dream!

We have found out about Mike and his Mega Magic show from the Event Source website. I simply knew nothing about his shows but relied on his amazing reviews. We had our Christmas Party for about 90 people and Mike made our event unforgettable for everyone who was there. The performance itself, the atmosphere – everything was 5 stars out of 5 stars! I would like to add that I have recently been to Illusionists show and concluded that it is pretty hard to perform good magic tricks since not everybody is capable to be awesome at what they do (except Mike!). I would highly recommend Mike D’Urzo and his show to anybody from all of our company’s employees.

Mike from Mega Magic is incredibly talented, his performances literally take people's breath away and even ours, who saw his performances a few times now, every time it takes our breaths away. Mike is also very easy to work with, which makes my life as a planner so much easier. We will continue recommending Mike to our wedding and corporate clients. Thank you Mike for everything!!
