The GOAT! See him! Hire him! Spread the good word! I originally heard about Michael from a friend at work who had hired him for a boyfriend's birthday party. He gave such a rave review that my partner organized a 32nd birthday party for me with Michael performing. I'm not an expert in magic but this was *by far* the best magic experience I've ever witnessed or participated in -- and it's not even close. He kept a party of 20-25 adults - mostly in their thirties - entertained for hours. Every time I thought the magic couldn't get crazier, it did. Probably my favorite birthday party of my life. Michael's style of close-up magic was so much more fun, mind-boggling, and intimate than stage shows I've seen in the past. It felt both like a conversation and like you were a part of every trick, rather than viewing things unfold from afar. Every trick he performed was both baffling and impressive; a few of them had people talking or asking about them for hours or even days after the show. I don't know anything about magic but it also felt like had insane range and diversity in his tricks: he did wild stuff with playing cards, coins, a Rubik's cube, a Sharpie, foam balls, ropes, Pokemon cards, and more. At one point, I found myself asking if what he was doing was even "allowed": one trick in particular hit me so hard that I started wondering aloud if there's such a thing as magical ethics (?!?). On top of everything, he is kind, personable, and extremely easy to talk and work with. He chatted with everyone in attendance and even stayed afterward to perform a few tricks (*cough* holographic Charizard *cough*) that someone asked about from his Instagram page. I also thought his pricing was very fair given how long he performed and how many people we had at the party. Since then, I know two other friends who have hired Michael for a birthday party and a company social event, and one friend (a local journalist) who wrote a profile on him in the INDY Week. He's a gem in our community and I hope everyone has a chance to see him perform.

Michael was an incredible addition to our event, which was a corporate family picnic for about 180 people, with age range of 0-65 in attendance. He had a multitude of tricks demonstrating a wide variety of skills involving cards, foam balls, rope knots, and more. I never saw him repeat a trick in 2 hours of performance. He roamed our event, mingling with the crowd as planned and always drew an audience. He was affable and outgoing and easily initiated interactions. Before the event, he was a strong and prompt communicator, arrived early, and checked in with the event lead appropriately. I would refer him to anyone and would hire him again without hesitation!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Michael Bloemeke perform at our holiday party, and he was phenomenal! His magic was not only impressive but also engaging and fun for all ages. Michael has a wonderful way of connecting with the audience—everyone was laughing, amazed, and talking about his tricks long after the show ended. He brought so much energy and joy to the event, making it truly memorable. If you’re looking for a magician who is professional, personable, and guaranteed to wow your guests, Michael is the one!

We hardly have words to describe how phenomenal Michael was at our wedding. The guests loved him, the staff loved him, and most importantly, WE loved him! I still don't understand most of his tricks. He's truly a dark wizard.. HIRE HIM. You will not regret it

Michael was professional but at the same time had a very personable personality, that worked for on and off the stage. His show incorporated great interaction with the kids and also impressed the parents. And as a "bonus" did a couple close up magic tricks after the show. Our community really appreciated his effort and talent.

Michael joined our July 4th luncheon at work. He walked around to the team throughout the building sharing magic tricks. Our team thoroughly enjoyed the variety of tricks he performed, and our business was filled with awes and laughter. They are still trying to figure out his tricks! We would highly recommend Michael!

Michael went above and beyond during our appreciation event on Christmas. He discerned the audience and accommodated the tricks according to the ages of the people invited. He was approachable and easy to work with. He will be contacted for our activities in the future. Thanks Michael!

We hired this magician for my husband’s birthday party, and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made! From the moment he arrived, he brought such a fun, energetic vibe that immediately got everyone excited. His tricks were absolutely mind-blowing, even the most skeptical guests were left speechless and trying to figure out how he did it. What really stood out was how engaging and personable he was. He didn’t just perform tricks; he involved the guests, made people laugh, and created unforgettable moments throughout the night. My husband felt like a star, and all of our friends are still talking about it! If you’re looking to make your event truly special and memorable, I can’t recommend him enough. Professional, entertaining, and incredibly talented, a solid five stars all around!

I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but Michael completely blew us away. From the first trick to the very last moment, we were all wide-eyed, laughing, and whispering, “Wait—how did he do that?” What made the performance even more special was how natural and engaging he was. It didn’t feel like a show at us—it felt like a shared experience. He had this incredible ability to read the room, involve people in the most fun, lighthearted way, and keep the energy high without ever feeling over-the-top. It was such a joy to watch everyone completely lose themselves in the magic. If you’re even thinking about booking Michael —do it. You’ll be so glad you did.

Michael Bloemeke delivered an absolutely wonderful magic performance that had the entire room completely engaged from start to finish. His tricks were not only impressive but truly captivating—especially the mentalism, which left everyone amazed and talking long after the show ended. He has a warm, personable style that instantly connects with the audience, making the experience feel both intimate and exciting. You could tell the audience genuinely loved every minute of it. If you’re looking for entertainment that is clever, polished, and thoroughly engaging, Michael is a fantastic choice.

I searched for a magician for my husband’s birthday and came across Michael who’s close to our area! He was friendly, quick to reach out, and easy to work with. He made the process worry free, and the performance was SPECTACULAR! This was our first time hiring anyone for a party, and our expectations were blown away. Michael showed up timely, provided everything we needed for a fun show, and is an amazing magician. If you’re thinking about hiring him, DO IT!

Michael has a very entertaining act, I love how he always makes it look so easy but still never ceases to amaze! I could watch him perform the same act several times over and be amazed each and every time! One of my favorites was his newspaper trick, where it looked like he was ripping up a newspaper but he actually didn’t and it remained whole, I still have no idea how he did it! Thanks Michael for the amazing acts, can’t wait to see you again!

It was so good to laugh and be amazed as much as we did with this wonderfully entertaining show and talented magician. Such a delightful performance, engaging, interactive, and enjoyable. Michael was amazing! He still has me wondering how he did all those incredible tricks. And I am still hearing the joy and laughter we all experienced last Friday evening when Michael entertained us at our church gathering. Thank you, Michael!!
