Magician Michael Casey

Michael's brand of magic is very impactful. He prides himself on creating wonderful memories and moments for clients where seeing, is truly, believing. Since mastering the art of 'Close-up Magic' he has been asked to entertain audiences at Corporate Dinners in San Fransico, California, to trade shows in Boston, and even headlining rock and roll shows in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. After seeing several performances in Nightclubs all over the triangle, Zspotlight stated, "Mike is regarded by many as the top close-up magician in the Triangle area."

His style of magic is best suited for a situation where he is mingling about (also known as strolling magic) and using only the most everyday props. With simply a deck of cards, a few rubberbands, and some spare change, Michael has been known to entertain for hours at a time, creating unique and individual experiences for all in attendance.

Michael has worked for:

First Health (Raleigh), Elon University, Amgen Pharmaceuticals, Eli Lilly, Lenovo, Quintiles, Suntrust Banks, IBM, AT&T, Onyx, ESS Lounge, BFG, The Pourhouse, The Lincoln Theater and many, many more!

• Michael was perfect for our event. Everyone really enjoyed him and he met and went above all expectations. Would highly recommend him and would use him again for one of our events if we got the opportunity to have another one like that. He did an excellent job in keeping everyone entertained and his mentalist grande finale just brought down the house so to speak! Great job Michael. -- John M, Chapel Hill, NC, 8/18/2011
• This was our third timing hiring Michael as the entertainment for our corporate event and for the third time, he amazed us again!!! He always has new magic to entertain us with!! People are still talking this morning and asking "how did he do that". You will never be disappointed in choosing Michael as your entertainment. He will have a permanent home with Avoca's corporate functions as long as his schedule permits!! On a side note, it was 100 degrees yesterday for the event and it was outside under a tent and Michael never broke stride - definitely an extra star for him!!!! -- Shannon P, Merry Hill, NC, 7/21/2011
• This was the second corporate event that we hired Michael for the entertainment. Yet again, we were left speechless and again asking the question--how did he do that right in front of our eyes??!! You will never be disappointed in hiring Michael for your entertainment. I didn't know how much new magic we would see but there were new and even more exciting tricks we didn't see the first time. He's just truly great!! As a matter of fact, we have hired him for a third corporate event in July and already can't wait to see what he has "up his sleeve" for us!! -- Shannon P, Merry Hill, NC, 4/13/2011
• We hired Michael for a corporate function and he far exceeded our expectations. Everyone loved him and are still talking of his act days after his performance. We would recommend him to anyone because of his versatility and capability to adapt to your situation!! He did a walk around to individual tables while we were eating and then he also did a 20 minute show at the end. We would love to have him back at our next coprorate event!!! You will love him and his show!!! Shannon Perry HR Manager Avoca, Inc. -- Shannon P, Merry Hill, NC, 7/24/2010
• It was not what I originally expected or thought. It was much much better. My guests are talking about this party and your performance still!!! Exellent job Michael! -- Igor T, Cary, NC, 6/12/2010
• The tricks performed left me baffled. I think I enjoyed watching the reactions of the people involved in the tricks as much as anything else. Paul Pierce -- Paul P, Knightdale, NC, 5/23/2010
• A pleasure to work with and made every effort to make the event a success. Three hours before the gig, the client wanted to bring it forward by 45 minutes. Michael did not bat an eyelid and put in the extra to make it happen. Very rarely do you find an entertainer who is so eager to please and backs it up with raw talent. -- Peter S, Goldsboro, NC, 3/17/2010

We would certainly have Michael again for another event. Judy rosenblum -- Judith R, Mebane, NC, 12/30/2009
• Michael Casey performed at our company Holiday Party and he was great! He really kept our employees mesmerized by his tricks (we all left wondering "how did he do that").

• Absolutely thrilled. His magic was excellent, but what we loved the most was how good he was with the crowd, he knew who they were each time, if it was two people, he made contact with both, if it was 10 he learned them all. He had everyone participate, not just watch. We are his latest fans. Vickie Zimmerman -- Vickie Z, Columbia, SC, 2/3/2009
• Mr. Casey exceeded all of our expectations. He was personable, engaging and kept our guests enthralled while wanting more. He was outstanding! -- Dwayne B, Durham, NC, 12/21/2008
• We had Michael join us to mingle/magic his way through a “social hour” of drinks/appetizers at my father's 70th birthday party. Michael is an unpretentious guy who does phenomenal magic. He blew everyone away. I didn’t know we had a magician of his caliber in Raleigh. He’s a personable guy who mingled well with everyone, and then completely blew their minds. You knew where he was due to the squeals of delight, hearty laughter, and oohs and aahs of amazement. He even had a thoughtful special trick for the guest of honor yielding a unique magic memento of the evening. His entertainment really made the evening special. I absolutely recommend Michael. -Damon Meads -- Damon M, Raleigh, NC, 11/1/2008

We would welcome him back to campus enthusiastically. Mary Wise (for Provost Gerald L. Francis) -- Mary W, Burlington, NC, 8/28/2008
• Michael Casey is truely a joy and a wonderful magician. He is very professional and his talent is awesome! He left everyone spell bound and wanting more. I highly recommend him to anyone, young or old. You will not find better entertainment.

• Awesome job Micheal. I highly recommend him for any event you are planning. Very easy going and entertaining. Thanks -- Philip M, Raleigh, NC, 10/22/2011
• Michael showed up early, was professionally dressed and ready to perform. He was very at ease walking up to different groups entertaining and moving on. No awkwardness, very smooth. Most importantly, his skills were mind blowing. People shook their heads in disbelief, ooed, aahhed, laughed. He didn't just do Card tricks, he had coins, bands, balls - all close up, all incredible. Perhaps the most "mystical" of involved two participants and the transference of feelings from one to the other - I don't want to blow the surprise on that one, but it left everyone puzzling over it the rest on the night. We plan to use Michael again, and highly recommend him. -- Michele M, High Point, NC, 10/21/2011
