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.
