Feedback from a Student evaluation sheet

 Inquiry letter from Americas Got Talent!

..."BEST MAGIC COURSE IN HAWAII!"..."
Mike Ching is an experienced Magician, and a second generation Magic Instructor.  He talks to his students to understand their goals.  As a parent I attended free and he was amazing to watch.


The small class size gave lots of individual attention and I was amazed what my son learned so quickly in clear, plain language.  The tricks amazed adults in our family after one lesson!  These were real "skill" effects only a pro could demonstrate.
 
The weekly schedule let him practice and try his magic out on friends before next meeting.  Later he did very well in his School Talent Show. 
In our opinion, for kids who really want to do Excellent shows,
this is the BEST Magic Course in Hawaii!"


"Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo!"
This past week would not have been possible if it were not for Mike Ching & Akiko Ching . Landon would not have been able to be part of The Stars Of Tomorrow Show if it weren’t for the dedication and sacrifice that Mike and Akiko gave.

They put in the late nights, take after video take for Landons Audition video, over and over and over and over and over again just to make sure Landon did it right. We pretty much took over their kitchen, living room, and garage. From the
bottom of our hearts, thank you for opening your hearts and home to Landon and I and investing into him all the time and effort.

For all of those nights of practice, rehearsal after rehearsal, night after night, to make it all happen. Thank you thank you thank you!


"I will always hold magic dear to my heart.  Because of Mike Ching, I gained confidence and pushed myself to become a better performer and a better person with each lesson.
 
Mike gave me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform magic with the best magicians on the island, and perform for hundreds of people at Dave & Busters.  The magic that he taught brought me to a higher caliber that I ever thought I could achieve and even got me on the news! 
I’m forever grateful to Mike for all that he’s taught me and want to express how impactful his lessons have been in my life, and highly encourage you to learn from him as well"
kind words from Magic Festival performer Michael Ajimura


"....Best Class I've ever taken in my life!..."

"IDEAS FOR A GREAT SANTA VISIT"
HonoluluSantas.Com   C.Mike Ching 2004, 2023   808 836-1800
(This information may be openly shared, but please keep our Copyright info intact!)

1. SANTA PHOTO AREA:
  Create an area for picture Taking. (In front of an existing Christmas Tree or other decorations are perfect!) An ornate chair is helpful, or, throw a fancy cloth over an existing chair.

2. NAMETAGS:
  If kids wear name tags (Stick-on Gift tags are OK) Santa can call them by name. (Only the REAL Santa would know!)  * Tip: Write out names in large PRINT.

3. CHRISTMAS MUSIC!
  Music really helps create a festive atmosphere when Santa enters and while he’s around. Any kind of player will do.

4. DESIGNATE A PHOTOGRAPHER:
  and have YOUR camera ready too!  *Don’t forget to focus on children’s faces as Santa first enters. (You never know when a Santa photo becomes a family heir-loom).

5. MAKE YOUR LIST:
  Santa is at your service!  List any particular things you want Santa to do. Examples: 1.) Make an entrance.  2.) Meet & Greet around the room on entrance.  3.) Pose for pictures & selfies  4.) Distribute favors or gifts. 5.) Make a special announcement. (Have a microphone on hand for best results).

6. THERE’S NO RUSH:
  Most party visits are not Mall-style photo shoots where a child has only a few moments with Santa.  Give them quality time with Santa and let them tell him what they want.  *Tip: A child "whispering in Santa's ear is a classic photo shot)(Children are sometimes tongue-tied when meeting him and haven't thought about what to ask for)  Don’t feel the need to rush a child through a visit.

7. SANTAS’ BAG
  Santa comes with a bag roughly the capacity of a large trash bag. (Don’t worry, It looks MUCH nicer than that!)  It can be loaded with your gifts or favors, but since a full bag can get very heavy, it may be best to fill it only partway if you wish Santa to carry it in. (More gifts can be brought in later, or have only very light gifts/favors if you use only this bag).

8. DRESSING SPACE:
  Santa usually arrives “incognito” (disguised as a normal person) about 35 mutes prior to his appearance. He usually needs a private place to change. *This should be an area where no children could ever accidentally walk into!  (Keep Santa looking great by making any minor adjustments to his suit as needed during the visit).

9. PARKING:
  Santa wants to be on-time for you! It really helps to reserve a nearby parking space. Cones or chairs put out front of a space work well. Maybe even a cardboard sign on a chair that says “Reserved for Santa” (Most people understand).
