About
Michael Roy's SQUARE MAGIC - Entertainment for the Discriminating
Are your event guests suffering from the BTDTs (Been There Done That Syndrome)? Enjoyed all they can stand of balloon art? Heard "pick a card" one too many times? Noticing how old they look in the latest caricature in their collection? Simply tired of the same ol' same ol'? Well, it could be time for something completely different!
With no cards, coins, or twisted balloons, only a paper square and the finesse of a master close-up magician, Michael Roy, Folder Fantastique, brings magic and artistry to your event, amazing party and festival guests with colorful creations of exquisite artistry, elegantly executed right before their eyes. Without missing a crease, Michael Roy simultaneously transforms a single uncut sheet of paper into cool 3D animal caricatures while keeping guests amused with a nonstop stream of offbeat witty repartee and useless (yet strangely fascinating) information, revealing the secrets and history of folding art. Not your grade school teacher's origami, Michael Roy's performances are a Cirque du Papier, a mind-bending, paper-folding, your-world-ain't-flat-no-more experience, bringing to you live what you have only seen online, on TV, and in the movies. And best of all, your guests can go home with a bona fide keepsake! An artful remembrance of a special occasion. (Unlike those twisted little creatures with inflated egos, which blow up at the slightest provocation, and often don't even make it to the parking lot.)

"I cannot find enough superlatives for Cirque Du Papier. Michael was a pleasure to work with. Originally we had planned for Michael to showcase his art as a strolling performer. But as soon as he set up his Gallery of Origami, children and adults alike flocked to see his artistry. He performed nonstop due to the throng of people who wanted to see him. When performance time was over, he graciously agreed to perform until the crowds abated--over 2 hours later-which we happily compensated him for. His engaging style and amazing talent make him a perfect fit for any occasion, and I hope we can have him here again in the future!"

"He was perfect for our school carnival. Micheal was professional, on time, kind and willing to be flexible. Both kids and adults hung around to watch him work! It was also very nice that many people got to take home complicated and interesting paper animals. Great work, Micheal!"

"What a great addition to our Grand Opening event! His paper display was more of an art piece than a creation. The kids loved the paper animals! Thanks!"

Birthday Party (Adults)
in Cleveland, OH

"I hired Michael to entertain for my 50th Birthday Party and he was a big hit! Everyone was amazed what he could do with one piece of paper. Trying to guess what the finished piece would be was fun and there were alot of OOOH's and AAAH's at the final outcome. He interacted well with the guests and everyone went home with one of his creations. Everyone wanted to know where I found this guy!
This was the first time I had hired a entertainer or used Gigmasters and I was satisfied with both.

"Michael was an excellent addition to our business workshop. He was flexible with including custom talking points to match with our overall theme and was very knowledgable about origami. It was an engaging and fun experience for everyone involved. Thanks"

"Michael was very accommodating for our outdoor event even though the weather conditions were changing. He was very professional and very talented. I would like to see him be more engaging--but the event required patrons to come to him vs at a party where he would be automatically the center of attention. Overall, I would recommend him."

"Although I was expecting a good show, Michael Roy disappointed by not performing to his contract. He arrived an hour in advance which was great! But he was supposed to begin at 7:25 a.m. and end at 8:10 a.m. At 8:10 a.m, I arrived at the theatre to find that he had not begun the show even though I had indicated to him at his arrival that he was to perform as people trickled into the theatre and UNTIL I arrived at 8:10 a.m. His contract was clear and he had my cell phone number to call if he had any questions. Total performance time=10 minutes. The 10 minutes that we did see was terrific!! Too bad he didn't follow directions."
