open houses, graduation parties, weddings, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, etc. Walk-around
magic is often used for large scale events lasting full or multiple days, such as convention
center events.
BALLOON ART is often combined with the Standard Magic Show or Walk-Around Magic
Events. However, Balloon Art can be an event in and of itself. It works extremely well for
small or large events focusing on children from birthday parties to events at the zoo or
convention centers. Magic Mike is known for his crazy balloon hats, signature motorcycles and
fruit baskets.
COMEDY HYPNOSIS SHOW lasts approximately 90 minutes. It includes use of props and
requires a minimum of 8-12 adult volunteers. It can be performed for small, medium or large

STAGE SHOW, a larger scale show that lasts from 60 to 120 minutes, often includes an
intermission, and should be performed on a stage or platform. It can include magic, small and
large scale illusions, hypnosis or a combination of all of these. Stage shows include significant
use of volunteers and props and are more formal presentations. They are perfect performances
for theatres, playhouses, colleges, universities, high schools, etc.
“TRICK-A-NOSIS”, an original “disorder” induced by Magic Mike using the ancient arts of
magic and hypnosis. The show opens with the “Trick” portion featuring a comedic bevy of
mind-boggling magic and illusions that will have you rolling in the aisles. In the second half,
Magic Mike uses volunteers straight from the audience. They forget their own names, think
that they are celebrities and are compelled to do a plethora of other outrageous acts, that you’ll
only see “when pigs fly.” He describes the symptoms of this syndrome to include
uncontrollable fits of laugher so severe you’ll squeal like a pig, frequent urges to stand up and
give a raucous applause, and watering eyes, a side-effect of the laughter of course. The show
runs approximately 90 to 120 minutes including intermission. It is best when performed on a
stage but can be adapted to other venues such as Colleges, Universities and High Schools as
well.

To Whom It May Concern:
It gives me great pleasure to write this recommendation for “Magic Mike” of Magic Mike
Productions. From my first interactions with Mike, he and his team were professional,
timely, and ensured that every detail of my event was taken care of well in advance. I
appreciated his level of communication and a commitment to a quality performance for
our students and guests.
As the housing coordinator at The Ohio State University’s Agricultural Technical Institute
(ATI) in Wooster, one of my responsibilities is to co-plan our “Up All Night” prospective
student overnight visit in April. On this evening, we look for options to entertain our
students while encouraging those who haven’t committed to ATI to do so. Being my first
year on the job, I was looking for an entertainer who went beyond the typical magic show
and could also appropriately entertain college students. After several blind calls, Mike
was the first to call me back within just a few hours of placing my request online. Mike
assured me that his publicist would be in touch. Catena called me later that evening and
I immediately felt at ease with selecting Mike. The “trick-a-nosis” show was exactly what
I was looking for. I was reassured that everything would be handled, including some free
publicity that we were able to print and hang around the university. I appreciated Mike’s
flexibility in working with our small budget as well.
Our students and guests alike gave Mike rave reviews in their “Up All Night” surveys.
Even though Mike went a half hour over his allotted time (which we did not mind at all),
he was focused on giving a world-class show of a lifetime and he did just that. I enjoyed
Mike’s personable approach, his humor, and his ability to connect with our student
population. He and his team of videographers, sound technicians, as well as assistant,
Catena, were fun and approachable. Most importantly, our students were laughing
uncontrollably at times and making memories that they will likely never forget.
Even after the show was over, I appreciated the follow-up and sharing of pictures and
the videos that were posted on YouTube. I would highly recommend Magic Mike and his
team to anyone who is looking for a comedian, magician, or hypnotist at an affordable
cost. We look forward to having Mike back to Ohio State ATI in the near future.
Sincerely,
Mick Steiner
Housing Coordinator
The Ohio State University - Agricultural Technical Institute
February 2014
What a great show for kids and adults! Magic Mike not only provided illusions and magic
but also incorporated humor for all. The audience was completely engaged. I highly
recommend Magic Mike for any school or family friendly event.

Jackson TWP, Ohio —
The Jackson Community Theatre (JCT) will be hosting a magical fundraiser on Friday and Saturday, Oct.
8 and 9. There will be a Friday night “Music and Magic” show, a children's matinee on Saturday afternoon
and a special “Trick-a-Nosis” show on Saturday evening.
“The JCT-OH is a new venue and we are trying to raise working capital. Magic Mike is a friend of mine
that I recently made contact with and he agreed to do the upcoming show for us,” said Holly Roby,
Executive Director, JCT.
Magic Mike is really Michael Baldwin from Seven Hills, Ohio who performs illusions, magic and hypnosis
for his spellbound audiences. He also works with a comedy magician, Brian M. Kehoe from Rochester,
New York. Both have been entertaining for many years.
“I really got interested in magic when I got a magic kit from my grandparents when I was five years old. I
started performing magic shows at birthday parties and by age 14 I was performing at day care centers
and nursing homes,” said Magic Mike.
These days his regular gigs include performing weekly at Texas Roadhouse in Brooklyn, Ohio, corporate
events and birthday parties. He has performed many escape routines and some mind sensing tricks. Last
year he drove a $30,000 Mazda Miata blindfolded in a parade and at high speeds on the highway by using
his mind and senses.
The “Music and Magic” show scheduled for Friday night, Oct. 8 starts at 8 p.m. Magic Mike will perform a
full magic and illusion show along with music from the group, Singers Without a Cause. There will also be
some comedy magic on Friday night as well.
Saturday afternoon's show will be an interactive kid's magic show that adults will also enjoy. The “Magic
for Munchkins” matinee starts at 3 p.m. with time allotted for questions from the audience at the end of
the show. Kids and adults will get to help Magic Mike perform magic tricks and will also help with a few
mind sensing exercises. There will be a comedy painting easel routine where the kids do the magic and
Magic Mike makes everything disappear at the end.
Saturday night's show, “Trick-A-Nosis”, starts at 8 p.m. It is a PG-13 show because along with the comedy
magic and illusions, there will be a hypnosis show where some of the participants will be wearing what
they believe to be see-through glasses and will think they are seeing people in the audience without any
clothes.
Brian M. Kehoe will be performing comedy magic at the beginning of the show. Kehoe is the house
magician at several Rochester restaurants and performs regularly at corporate events and private parties.
He joined Magic Mike over the summer to present the Tick-A-Nosis show.
“Brian does some really funny and outlandish stuff. He mixes humor with props much like those Carrot
Top uses along with some really strong magic tricks,” said Magic Mike.
The second half of Saturday evening's show is the hypnosis performed by Magic Mike. He promises there
will be no clucking like a chicken or barking like a dog. Instead, people will be put under hypnosis for
about an hour and will believe they are doing things like trying out for American Idol or Baywatch or they
may think they are James Bond and need to save the audience.
“People come out of the hypnosis feeling like they have just slept for a full eight hours or just had a full
body massage. I always give positive reinforcement at the end of the hypnosis,” Magic Mike said.
“I am only a small part of the second half of the show on Saturday night. I put the participants under and
they become the show,” continued Magic Mike.
Magic Mike recommends that families plan to attend all three shows because each show will have
different magic routines. Also, going to a magic show makes for a great date night or family night.
Jackson Community Theatre is located in the lower level of Siefert's Flower Mill at 7360 Wales Avenue in
Jackson Township. Tickets range in price from $5 to $15. For more information, call 330-232-1382 or

The magic show takes place at the Trenton Village Theater, 2447 W. Jefferson Ave.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and senior citizens. A limited number of preferred seats include
