We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Michael Griffin, Escape Artist, at our Emerald Ball, and he exceeded every expectation. From the moment he took the stage, he commanded the room with professionalism, confidence, and a level of skill that left our guests genuinely amazed.Michaels performance was not only impressive it was engaging, polished, and perfectly suited for a high-end fundraising event. He knew how to read the crowd, build suspense, and deliver jaw-dropping moments that had everyone talking long after the show ended. His presence added a unique and unforgettable element to the evening.Beyond the performance itself, Michael was a pleasure to work with professional, punctual, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. He truly understands how to elevate an event and create a memorable experience for guests.We are incredibly grateful to have had Michael Griffin as part of our Emerald Balland would highly recommend him to any organization or event looking to bring something extraordinary, entertaining, and impactful to their audience.Krisstee PierceShia Rain Foundation | Emerald Ball

Michael did close up magic at a special event for students. He wandered tables and engaged students in his magic. He was well received and students are still talking about how he did "that"! Very engaging entertainer.

The kids really enjoyed him! He involved the audience and joked with them too. Good entertainment for a large group from age 1 to 10.
