CLUB TESTIMONIALS
TEST “With over 40 years as a club manager I know the importance of always giving our member the “Wow Factor” and Michael did that, plus more! I can honestly say his show is the best member experience I’ve seen. He knows how to engage and entertain members in a way that must be experienced! Book him for your club. Your members will thank you… just like my members are still thanking me!”
Mark Davies
Onondaga Golf & Country Club
“Our club doesn’t do many entertainment-based member events so Michael’s show was a real risk for us. Let me tell you – it was worth it. Our members showed up, loved every moment, and are now excited for future events. Thank you for engaging our members and setting up our future events for success”
Mark Jensen
Oakridge Country Club
“I was hesitant to book you due to the cost, but I’m so glad I did. I was thrilled that we had over 175 members attend. From the moment the well earned standing ovation was over, our members started asking when you would be back. Thank you for your professionalism, entertainment, comedy, and for putting on such an amazing experience for our members. We even saw members attend who hadn’t been to an event in years! Phenomenal job!”
Ben Lorenzen
Champions Run
“We don’t do many shows like this but we are THRILLED we did as it was a huge hit with our members. I loved seeing everyone laugh, participate, and walk away in awe. At the end of the night as everyone was leaving one of my managers said “look, everyone is smiling!” That says it all! Already booked for a return visit next year!”
Diane Easter
The Commonwealth Club
“WOW! Michael came to our club for two nights and absolutely blew our membership away. He’s personable, funny, and truly amazing at his craft. He was also extremely easy to work with.
This turned out to be the biggest event of our season, and the membership is still talking about it a week later. If you’re looking for a guaranteed grand slam for your membership or team, look no further! That is what we do this for folks!!”
Dan Adkins
Waterlefe Country Club

“Michael’s show was indeed a blast. From the youngest participant to our seniors, Michael engaged and entertained everyone. The best part about the show is the energy that Michael carried throughout it. You could feel that it wasn’t just a performance to him but it was all about making the experience memorable. A master magician and psychic entertainer, he truly is one of a kind.”
Ian Williams

“Michael’s performance was an absolute hit! I have no doubt that other country clubs would enjoy the same incredible experience. Michael was a pleasure to work with — professional, personable, and genuinely passionate about his craft. Michael’s well-deserved standing ovation from over 150 members speaks volumes about both his talent and his ability to connect with a country club audience. Highly recommend!”
Serena Galaviz

Amy Jackson
Stonebridge Country Club
“Michael was the perfect addition to our Member-Member Tournament Dinner. He was such a genuine person to work with and was incredibly kind and professional. When our layout wasn’t the best suited for one performance, he helped us by pivoting to four smaller shows for each seating area so that our members could get the most out of the event. In watching his performance, I was in awe. Even when our members tried to stump him, he astonished all of us, again and again. Michael is the missing piece for any member event you are planning, and I can’t thank him enough for the amazing night he gave our members.”
Madison Briley
Bald Head Island Club
“Michael’s show was amazing, fun, and extremely entertaining – but we knew that would be the case based on other reviews. What really impressed me was how he handled himself when his bags were lost by the airline. A true professional, Michael jumped into action and prepared a brand new show without his normal equipment. He showed no signs of worry and held to the mantra of “the show must go on!” It was a stupendous performance that proved beyond a doubt that he is truly an incredible performer and a master mentalist. I can hardly wait for the next opportunity to share Michael with my members…once word gets out about this show, I am sure we will pack the house!”
Tim Walker
The Ingomar Club
“Michael was hilarious and had my members in stitches, laughing the entire night… between the ooh’s and aah’s generated by his fantastic mind reading and psychic tricks. He is incredibly charismatic, witty, and interactive. He (amazingly) maintained total control of the audience while keeping it light and fun. I don’t know how he did it, but he had the members wanting more, even after a 90-minute show! I will also say that he is very self-sufficient and easy to work with. If you want an easy win with your membership, he is your answer!”
Ali Hall
Gleneagles Country Club
“Michael blew away all of our expectations on what a great virtual member event can be. He engaged over 300 members, entertaining them with incredible magic, mentalism, and comedy. He is a master of his craft and gave our members an unforgettable experience.”
Christina Guilianti
Boca West Country Club
“So, I was planning on heading out once my members were all set, but once Michael started I was intrigued and decided to watch a bit more… and before I knew it I was hooked. This show is beyond belief: funny, amazing, and really spectacular. He captivated everyone’s attention and left us all feeling on top of the world. Thank you for giving my members – and me – an unforgettable experience!”

In addition to the amazing entertainment and illustration of psychic powers, Michael took great care to make sure that our members felt safe, comfortable, and confident in the precautions taken during the show.
