I would recommend Mike Ching's Magic for anyone that wanted that something extra for the whole family. It's very rare to find an entertainer that works for all ages.

Dear Mike,
On
behalf of Brady and the Matsunaga family, thank you so much for making
his 2-year old birthday party a huge success! Everyone loved the magic
show. We
have wonderful pictures of wide-eyed, jaw-dropping pictures of the kids
(and adults) who thoroughly were mesmerized by your magic!
Apologies
for the change in time. As in most events, the best laid out plans
makes way for adjustments, and our party was no exception. However, we
sincerely
appreciate your accommodating us.
Also,
please thank Brad for his assistance with everything and also helping
with the music. With all the planning, we overlooked that and am so
grateful for
this. Also, tell him no hard feelings about his mistaken identity of
me. My sister and I are 12 years apart and lots of people have said
that. But know that I’m still young in heart and even willing to jump
into a dinosaur costume all for the fun of the
party and the kids.
Best wishes and blessings in all that you do! -Pat Matsunaga

Thank you for kind words from client "Kamaile"
4/30/2016 *****
I'm so glad I booked Mike! Wanted to add entertainment to my son's
first birthday party so I scoured through yelp reviews looking for
something both kids and adults could enjoy. Came across Mike Ching's
reviews and booked him based on his yelp rating!
He was
professional and efficient while talking to him over the phone and
through email. Not to mention his website gave me a clearer
understanding of what services he offered.
On the day of the
event he arrived about 45-min before the start of the party and set up
his own backdrop which added a more festive look to our stage.
He provided strolling magic and I'm going to call it a "variety" show.
He had my guests laughing in amazement from the start to finish. He also
kept my guests informed of activities and other performances throughout
the party with his "LITE MC" service he offered free with the purchase
of an entertainment package.
The kicker was the "balloon
surprise finale". He had all "60-something" children and even adults
running around chasing balloons. Thank you Mike. My son's party wouldn't
have been such a success without you!

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!

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 | |||

[Note from Mike] I
really love the parent who came up to me beaming and said,
"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!" [That is one of my all time favorite comments] 'WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS GUY (and can we get his card?)'"
"Surpassed our expectations."

like a magician! (AND he's funny!)"
All my friends, family, and co-workers were coming up to me and saying that your performance was outstanding." or whoever has need of your services. Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!" |
