Magic Mike Jacobson as featured on Ellen DeGeneres

I was just featured on Ellen! Check out one of the clips here: bit.ly/bL9LIV (copy and paste this into your browser- it's the website address that will go to the video)

Let's be real, I, Mike, am writing this- there's no manager, or middle man, no more talking in the 3rd person! I'm 23 years old, and a ten year, award-winning member of the Magic Castle. I'm one of the youngest people ever admitted as a member. I'm the highest rated magician on the Yelp review site in the entire USA (please check out the reviews!). I'm also the 2007 Magic Castle Junior Achievement award winner- an award for excellence in performance amongst up and coming magicians in the world. Ok ok, sorry! Enough bragging- consider that as the cliff notes to my background.

So why should you hire me?

My goal is honestly to do more than just perform, but to help bring the party. That's why I do magic- because I love to help people have an awesome time. Since I'm younger than most magicians, I've been told I bring an energy to the room, and your party, that not many of the older magicians can. I do so by just being real with people- through comedy and contemporary magic. I think the classic magician with old stories & a top hat is a little outdated! I connect with your guests so they TRULY enjoy themselves & you’re known as THE best party host.

It's reviews like this that make me love what I do: "Mike is not only an amazing magician- he is warm, charming and charismatic. The party went from memorable to unforgettable due in large part to Mike's presence! He is terrific!" -Jan & Don Elliott, Menlo Park, CA.

If you have any questions at all, or would like a pass to the Magic Castle, feel free to give me a call (or an email)!

Thank you. ~Mike

• I cannot imagine another magician doing a better job of entertaining my guests, age range 9-70, at the cocktail party I recently had at my home. Mike moved from each small cluster of guests performing close-up magic and conversing with them in a most congenial and friendly manner. EVERYONE of my guests told me how much they enjoyed his entertainment. Aside from that, he was most professional about getting the information he needed from me prior to the engagement and was punctual. And compared to a few other quotes that I got from other magicians for the same type of entertainment, Mike fit into my budget easily. I recommend Mike without hesitation. -- Marc D, Marina Del Rey, CA, 7/11/2009
• Mike was the hit of the night!!! Fun, respectful and professional to say the least. He worked our party guests (70 in total) with ease and amazement to all. I will call on him again in the future. Dr A -- Dr. Omer A, Encinitas, CA, 12/13/2008
• Excellent!!! Everyone who witnessed Mike was blown away by his talent. Mike was very professional, but also funny. He had us laughing and in disbelief with his magical skills. Even people who tried to figure out how the trick was done, was amazed how he pulled it off. I would highly recommend him!!! -- June S, Long Beach, CA, 8/29/2009
• Magic Mike was a real class act! Thanks to his magic he made my event a truly magical evening. He fit right in with the crowd and everybody loved him and said he was really good. I liked the way he worked the crowd and brought smiles to so many faces. We definitely will want to hire him again for our next big event! -- Linda H, Gardena, CA, 12/24/2008
• Mike was GREAT !!! Very professional and the magic was great. He mixed in with all the guests and they all had a great time. All the kids were watching in amazement. We will definitely have Mike back at another party. -- Doug S, Upland, CA, 10/24/2009
