What Applause Looks Like on Paper!

Corporate
Mike's extremely charismatic personality created a great experience
for all. The strolling magic tricks he performed during our
cocktail/finger food time left everyone amazed and guessing "HOW HE
DO THAT ONE" Mike did quite a bit of up close magic that delighted
all. The show was fantastic he was clever, funny and his magic
amazed us. People were all talking about the show on the Monday
after the event expressing how great a time they had with Mike. Thank
you so much Mike for making our Christmas party a blast.

A huge thanks to you from all of us at Schneider Electric and Aveva for
your awesome energy this past Friday at our Christmas party. Your
fun personality and seriously mind blowing magic made the night for
all of us. You are an amazing talent – from the crowd engagement
with the card tricks to the levitation and mind reading in the main
show – it was all fabulous, and so much fun for all. We are still
laughing (and scratching our heads). I can’t tell you how many
compliments we got from employees saying that they greatly enjoyed
your show. You were fantastic. A few days ago, a bunch of us were
trying to figure out your magic tricks. We couldn’t figure it out so we
decided to let you do the magic and we will stick to our day jobs.

Teresa DelleMonache (Office Manager)
AVEVA/ Schneider Electric

Thanks for a great night! A great performance, better than we ever
expected! Our guests were beyond entertained and are still talking
about his performance days afterwards.

Myra Chronopoulos (Manager, Human Capital)

Your show was marvellous. Everyone loved your performance and
asked me “how and where did you find this magician?” I am glad I
chose you to be a part of our holiday party. We all enjoyed your
amazing talent and sense of humour.

Nadine Eldib

Everyone loved your show that’s for sure! I got a lot of feedback and
they loved the walking magic as it was close up and personal. We’re
still talking about your lemon trick and how it was done….LOL

Some other general comments:
Mike was very personable and showed great enthusiasm.
Mike did a good job with performing for the crowd.
Ali (he got your card) loved the show that he will most likely go to
Niagara to see you

Mike came to our company holiday party as our surprise guest.
Leading up to the party, I had been hearing some grumblings that staff
weren’t so crazy about the idea of an “in-house” event. Mike was
pivotal in turning this around. He came in and immediately immersed
himself in the crowd. We had hired him for his strolling show and he
managed to touch base and both chat and perform a trick for everyone
– all 80 of us – at least once. He was charismatic and had everyone
laughing. Mike even asked if he could do a mini-show for the entire
group, something over and above what we had hired him for, and it
was a great add-on. Brought the whole group together. And suffice it
to say, I have been hearing wonderful things from my staff. Even that
this “in-house” party was the best party we have ever held!

Melinda MacDonald (Manager Human Resources)
Delvinia

Mike absolutely blew us away! Mike performed at our company
holiday party and wowed the crowd. As the night went on each
performance grew more specific and intricate. Mike was creative,
enthusiastic and entertaining. He captivated the audience from start
to finish and was the highlight of our night! Mike completely
surpassed our expectations and made us believe in magic again!

Izabela Tomin (Executive Assistant)
Firetronics 2000 Inc.

Thank you so much for entertaining at our Charity Halloween Parties
this past weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed your performance, as well
as your ability to interact with the audience, and the children. Our
small town's are buzzing with comments about how much they enjoyed
the Magic Show. Met one of the patrons on the street and they said
"I still don't know how he got that one hundred dollar bill into that
lemon?" Lots of people coming up and saying how they heard the
party was wonderful and the entertainment was incredible. Big City
Show in a small town. Excellent. Will definitely book you again in the
future. Thanks Again!

Mike did a great job at our conference. The strolling magic over lunch
was a hit, His Mind Kontrol show was well received at the end of our
conference. The audience participation made the show even better. I
would recommend Mike D'Urzo to anyone looking for entertainment at
their events.

Laurie Clayton (Executive Assistant)
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW Local 636)
Everyone was skeptical at first as soon as he would pull one of his
card tricks he would win everyone over. Everyone was looking to see
how he did things but it was so slick and unexpected that it really did
come off like magic! I know I was impressed with the trick you
showed me, and I heard lots of people say that they "liked the
magician". All the best!

Susan Drake (Director, HR Operations)
Chartwell Retirement Residences

I have now seen Mike "Mega Magic" perform at 2 events- corporate
event and a neighbourhood party. At both event I was very impressed
with his performance and engagement of the audience. He has
charisma and charm and he is able the get the audience to laugh and
enjoy the night. I have recently seen other performers at they do not
have same magical tricks but more important the character and
personality. Well done and great performance. I will use you again at
our next event.

Tony Pampena (Central Market Managing Partner)
Ernst & Young

Mike has become a staple at our annual friends and family
BBQ. Everyone spends days scratching their head trying to figure out
just how he does it. Mike goes above and beyond to make our events
special, unique and memorable!! 5 star performance all the way”

Charene Bunnett (VP of Operations)

Your performance at the CIU annual general meeting was very well
received by the audience. Everyone had a great time and were fully
engaged with your performance. It tied in nicely with our corporate
reception and allowed everyone the opportunity to have fun, network,
and be part of your amazing magical tricks. Thanks for a wonderful
evening.

Hi Mike, just a super quick note to say hello and great to see you last
week! I heard wonderful things about you and your team –
congrats. Thanks for helping us create another memorable event!

Laura Barbera (Director)

Mike kept our audience engaged and had them scratching their heads
as to how can that be possible, he made the evening an extraordinary
experience. THANKS FOR COMING, EVERYONE ENJOYED THE
EVENING!

Bruce Lloyd

As promised we wanted to provide you with some feedback that was
received from the two shows you performed. All reviews were very
positive. The guests were mesmerized and intrigued with the magic
you preformed. I would have no hesitation to recommend you for any
future corporate events. Thank you once again for the great shows!

Maria Altomare (Marketing Associate, Cardiovascular & Specialty Solutions Group)

You were wonderful, we still have people talking about you weeks
later! Thanks again!

Courtney Hawes (Conference Planner)
KPMG
Everything went well, he walked in the room where our group was
for cocktails and he quickly captivated them with card tricks. During
the evening he had a 30 min set that again captivated the group and
left us with ... unanswered questions as to How did he do that!

Maryse Gaudette (Sales Administrative Assistant)
Roche Diabetes Care

It was great having you at our meeting on Saturday! Everyone had
amazing energy and all I heard were good things about the show. We
are all still mystified with everything that you did. Keeps everyone
guessing and the interaction with bringing the crowd up made it an
overall great night. Good luck with the next group in the upcoming
weeks.

Nina te Boekhorst (Product Manager- Trauma)
DePuy Synthes Canada, Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices

We have found out about Mike and his Mega Magic show from the
Event Source website. I simply knew nothing about his shows but
relied on his amazing reviews. We had our Christmas Party for about
90 people and Mike made our event unforgettable for everyone who
was there. The performance itself, the atmosphere – everything was 5
stars out of 5 stars! I would like to add that I have recently been to
Illusionists show and concluded that it is pretty hard to perform good
magic tricks since not everybody is capable to be awesome at what
they do (except Mike!). I would highly recommend Mike D’Urzo and his
show to anybody from all of our company’s employees.

Nadia Chentsova (Director)
RealEstate Bay

Thanks so much, Mike! We really appreciate you coming down and
performing – it was definitely something that the team wasn’t
expecting but completely brightened up their evening even more.
Hopefully we’ll touch base again soon!

Deborah Rotim (Executive Assistant)
Spark Power
Mike has been so great to work with. I recently hired him for two very
different events, one a large corporate kids event, and the other an
adult cocktail party. He was able to read the crowd flawlessly and
cater to the audiences to make it an intriguing and exciting
experience for all. He worked with our quick timelines for booking and
was always ready to go well before his start time which is an event
planners dream!

Amanda Watson (Manager, Events)
McCarthy Tetrault LLP

We had great feedback about your humour and enthusiasm, and I can
tell from the expression on my colleague’s face who you did the card
tricks for that he was pretty impressed, and he’s a pretty tough critic! I
thought the intro show was a great way to get the audience going too,
so thanks so much for pulling that together at the last minute!

Esther Astroff (HR Generalist)
Cambridge Global Payments

Thank you so much for participating in our McCarthy Tétrault Family
movie day. The addition of a performance this year really enhanced
our event. The group really enjoyed the mini magic show you did right
before the movie started. You definitely know how to command an
audience. Best and look forward to working with you again.

Diandra Sandoval (Specialist, Clients & Markets)
McCarthy Tetrault LLP

Thank you again for being such a fun addition to our event. People are
asking me where I found you – they are still scratching their heads and
saying how much fun they had. I may have to retire after Friday, as I’m
not sure quite how to top it. Thank you again and enjoy the rest of
your holiday season!

and kept us guessing, the whole show. Mike is truly one of the best.
Bravo!

All the feedback has been tremendous so far, I’m glad we went a
different route this year with our entertainment!

Jeff Caverly (CPB Controller)

Thank you very much for your show at our event. It was a great hit and
I keep hearing how much people were amazed not to say that Berlini is
still trying to figure out how you did the 4 Ace’s trick!
Again, thank you very much for your performance at our event and
hope to work with you in the future.

Gus Gonzalez (Event Planner)
Miller Thomson LLP

Mike was an amazing addition to our company picnic and added an
extra element of 'magnificence' to our day. We were truly wowed by
his magic which is why we invited him back for a second year. Take
care and hope to see you at a future event!

Plezzie Benitez (Director, Human Resource Operations)

Just a note of thanks for an amazing performance last night – we are
getting incredible feedback from the dinner event and everyone LOVED
YOU! Thank you for making the night so memorable and I hope we can
work together again in the future!

Meghan R. Welborn (Senior Director of Marketing)
VDA Productions- Experiential Marketing Summit Chicago

Your magic was truly amazing; everyone was talking about you after
the show. We discussed how you did it, but no one had an explanation
other than….it was magic.

Too bad we ‘underutilized’ you; anyway, the time was simply too short.

Juergen Moeglich (Business Development Manager)
Single Source Technologies – Canada

Thank you so much for performing at our Award Gala! The show you
put on the stage definitely highlighted the whole event. We really
appreciate it.

Some of the comments I heard from my colleagues and guests are as
following:

Mike is so great. How could he read people's mind? It is so creepy!
When the whole stage went dark, Mike looked so mysterious.
This is the first time I was so close to a magician, and such a great
magician.
We wish Mike could stay longer and preform more.
....

Let's keep in touch. We would like to have you back at our next year's
gala.

Again thank you for coming and thank you so much for the great
performance!

Lizzie Li (General Manager)

Thank you for being part of our holiday luncheon. Our associates were
dazzled by your magic and truly enjoyed themselves. As you know,
this was our last luncheon as “Sun Products” so it was a very special
day for us.

Sun Products was dazzled by the magic of Mike D’Urzo of Mega
Magic. He is a true professional and was the star of our holiday
luncheon. We enjoyed his entertainment last year and was asked to
join us again this year. Mega Magic Rocks!

Marilyn Cohen (Administrative Assistant)
