TLDR: NYC's leading magician and mentalist, trusted by 500+ companies to do ridiculously impossible things at events that people never, ever forget. Casually: "Omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg" -everyoneFormally: With a client list that's a who's who of celebrities, pro-athletes, and Fortune 100 corporations (think: Meta, NFL, Google, Louis Vuitton), Magic Mike is one of the most sought after entertainers in the country for events big and small, hired to create mind-melting memories people never forget. As the first magician to be named a Forbes 30 Under 30, the only magician to be named a Business Insider 30 Under 30, and the youngest magician ever admitted as a member of the world-famous Magic Castle, Mike blends new-school magic, mentalism and comedy, with old-school charm. “Hilarious, jaw-dropping, and mildly infuriating,” all without the sequins. And yes, the movie was *totally* based on his life.• "COME ON. My head hurts" - Anne Hathaway• "WHAT? What!

People with season tickets don't always go to the games. So by creating partnerships and relationships with sports teams and stadiums, Kids In Seats provides an easy way for those people to donate those tickets to at-risk kids. The people who donate get a tax-rebate, the stadiums/teams get a packed house (read: retail sales), and the kids get awesome experiences they wouldn't have had otherwise.Successful exit in 2009.
