Magic Mike made our holiday party! We've now had him join us twice, and the second time was even more impressive than the first! He caught everyone off guard with his precision and execution, he was personable and charming, and really engaged with individuals and groups. Mike is great at working a room to make sure he doesn't miss anyone, and mixes it up to keep things interesting if you happen upon him twice! Magic aside, Mike is incredibly punctual and responsive. No hesitation to recommend him, stop looking elsewhere and hire Mike for your event! More...

He was alright....said no one ever. I was super excited to bring him in as a surprise for our holiday party and my expectations were most definitely exceeded. The group loved him, and you could hear the gasps/shrills from throughout the venue. I will now be finding any and every reason to hire him for all our future events. More...

Magic Mike did *magic* at our wedding during cocktail hour. Those asterisks are not sarcastic - it is LITERAL magic! The guests have not stopped talking about how mind-blowing his tricks are. Additionally, he is engaging, funny, reliable - all around an ideal person to hire for all of your magic needs. HIGHLY recommend and hope to work with him again!!! More...

If you could give 10 Stars I definitely would do so! Before jumping in to the actual details of the party let me start with the initial contact. Mike really does get back to you right away as stated above. As you know, that is a gift and rarely happens these days. After the initial back and forth we had a phone call to get a better understanding of both our expectations. We firmed up the date, plans and signed the contract. About 10 days prior to the event Mike reconfirmed the details and the day before he let me know he had arrived in town. Very professional!I had a 60th birthday party for my husband, about 30 people in attendance. After 30+ years of marriage, my husband I prefer to give each other experiences rather than gifts. My husband is a fan of magic so this seemed right. After searching for the right magician, I settled on Mike. BEST THING I EVER DID. We kept his appearance a surprise from our guests, only telling the restaurant and my husband (who does not like surprises). When we arrived, Mike was already there and greeted me as if he was a friend of ours. Within 15 minutes the room filled and Mike started his thing - just walking over to groups of 2-5 people and pulling out his tricks. He is not obtrusive at all, mingles well between groups and did not interrupt the flow of food and beverage at the party. As many have said before, simply mind-blowing!!! Our guests were totally surprised and taken in by not only Mike's magic abilities, but his quick wit, flair for conversation and just an overall nice guy you want to hang with at a party and by the way be a crazy great magician! Jaws were dropping open, bewildered expressions and ear to ear smiles were present for the evening. Even the skeptics could not help but completely rave about Mike. He added so much to the party and made a great night a phenomenal one, one that my husband and I and our guests will never forget. Call him, he will not disappoint and will exceed your expectations!!! Thanks Mike, so glad to have met you and been able to witness your great work! More...

Mike is incredible! We hired Mike for my wedding cocktail hour and he was AWESOME. I personally love magic and knew I wanted something unique and fun at our wedding. When I found Mike and looked at his website and some of his videos, I knew I wanted him to be at our wedding as a surprise for our guests. He was super friendly from the moment we reached out to him to the great follow up "congrats" email he sent us after the wedding. Not only is he a great guy but he is INSANELY talented. He blew the minds of us and our guests, and that's putting it lightly! People were talking about it the whole night and the next morning at our brunch. People even still bring it up months later. At the wedding I heard my friend tell her fiance "We HAVE to have him at our wedding," because he was just that good. We even had people tell us that they're normally not into magic but that Mike was just at a different level and truly blew their mind. Basically, if you're looking for a awesome, funny, modern, and talented magician you can't go wrong with Mike! More...

Don't even know where to start, this guy is the real deal. He did some tricks last night that honestly made me scared they were so good. He's also just the best/nicest guy with a great sense of humor. If you don't hire him for your next birthday, bar mitzva or wedding you are nuts. More...

About a month ago Magic Mike performed at a late-night talk show some friends and I were producing in Brooklyn. The trick he performed on stage left the room so completely bamboozled that I still think about it every night before I go to sleep.

One of the best and most versatile magicians I know - on TWO coasts. It’s a pleasure watching him work. Any client would be lucky to have him. You would do well to avail him of his talents if your event needs some magic - and what event doesn’t? More...

Ta-Damn fantastic. I don't know what deal he made with Satan for this trickery, but it's worth it because it's truly mind-blowing and the highlight of a party to see everyone react at his grand reveal like they saw Tupac rise from the grave.

I’ve hired Magic to do two of my work Christmas parties. He is great at moving around the room, keeping everyone laughing, making sure he pulls everyone in. Seeing tricks happen within a few feet of you, right in front of your eyes as you stare at his hands, and still being clueless as to how he pulled it off is an insane feeling. Very fun. More...

I first saw Magic Mike perform at the Magic Castle and then again at a secret popup show in New York. I never got excited about these 'tricks' and 'sleight of hand' illusions, but now I'm pretty sure magic actually exists. If you want to see your mind blown, Magic Mike's your man. Insane. More...

What an amazing night we recently had after our office party hired Mike as the entertainment for the night. We were all throughly entertained as he went around during cocktail hour showing off his actually mind boggling magic tricks! I went home and tried to Google them to figure it out! The best part was that he seemed like one of my colleagues that just happen to be a magician. He was so personable! I would highly recommend Mike for your next party or gathering. More...

How the hell does one get onto Ellen Well you have to be THAT GOOD.This guy is an absolute legend. As soon as I read his website I knew we would get along. Very cool, very smooth, friendly guy and of course, his magic is out of this world.I booked Mike along with a bunch of other vendors for an event I recently did and he was by far the most professional AND the most personable. He replies to emails within MINUTES even late at night and was the only vendor I could crack a joke with :) THANKS MIKE AND I STILL HAVE THAT CARD!!!! ;) More...

Magic Mike just performed at our son's Bar Mitzvah, and to say that he was the hit of the party is a huge understatement. Our guests were amazed by his skills, talent and humor . He seamlessly blended in with the party making sure to entertain everyone. Leading up to our affair, Mike assured us that he would be there on time and let his magic do the talking, and trust us, it did and then some...Having Magic Mike at our party to entertain the kids and the adults was the best decision we made, we felt extremely comfortable with him from beginning to the very end. You would be foolish not to have Mike at your event; small or large, he will deliver the goods! More...

Like Mike, I'm a professional magician. When potential clients call me for an event and I'm already booked, there's only a handful of entertainers I trust to do great work. Magic Mike is one of those people!I've known Mike for years and he's an incredible close-up magician. I first met Mike in Los Angeles through The Magic Castle. However, we've worked together coast to coast and no matter what city you find him in, you'll be impressed.Unlike so many entertainers on Thumbtack, GigSalad, etc., Mike isn't a cheesy character or a goofy guy in a purple suit.Instead, what you get with Mike is a slick performer that is guaranteed to leave your guests laughing and amazed.If you're looking for a class-act that won't turn your high-end event into a kids' birthday party, Magic Mike is the way to go.

My friend invited me to go see Magic Mike, and at first, I was quite disappointed when we arrived to Magic Mike Jacobson / Award-Winning, Anti-Cheesy Magician's show. But about two minutes, he had already completely blown me (and the entire audience) away with the sheer level of talent he brings to the table. Needless to say, jaws were on the floor, and the whole crowd was in absolute awe. TL;DR friend invited me to Magic Mike. Expected to see hot naked dudes. Saw fully clothed, incredible magician. 10/10 would have mind blown again. More...

It's crazy how good of a magician Mike is. I wasn't a believer. Point blank. But, after seeing him, now I am. I'm at least a believer of him. Maybe not all magic, but I don't really know how he does it. It's as simple as that. Most people aren't as good as they could be, but Mike is in a league of his own. Hire him. Thank me later. More...

This guy is SO good. That's all I can say. If I said anything more, I feel like he might think I'm giving away part of his act, and he might cast some sort of weird spell on me or something. Or not. That's not really his type of magic. But I want to stay cautious anyway. More...
