So many possibilities, so many choices… Let's see if we can make it a little easier for you:
The question: Everyone wants to know, "How to create a memorable event!" If you really, really want to know too, THEN DON'T MISS A WORD! Isn't it true that the simplest and most successful things in life are often overlooked or dismissed because of established perceptions. Ironically, I often have to overcome that very issue because MAGIC is one of the oldest art forms that most people today associate with the "kid next door doing a few tricks for the neighborhood gang!"
Well, "call off the dogs of misperception" because I have an act of a different sort that has been enjoyed at the highest levels! So let's see...
When you're having your national convention at the Biltmore in Phoenix, and you're looking for a great show, don't hesitate to make the right call. And the results are:
I want to express my sincere gratitude to you for your performance as part of our National Conference in Phoenix. Based upon feedback from the conference attendees, your act was one of the highlights of the entire conference.
Having attended and participated in many events like this before, I recognize that performances like yours not only require a mastery of stage presence, but also a tremendous amount of planning and practice. The way you customized your art to our group generated the maximum excitement and entertainment we could have hoped for.
You truly are a master showman. I look forward to many prosperous years of working together.
Michael Jorgensen, President, USAllianz Securities
For 4 Consecutive Years: STIHL's #1 client personally requested "the same act"... because they enjoyed it so much!
Having engaged your services for four years consecutively, we could have easily been satisfied with carbon copy performances. You, however, are to be applauded for continually enhancing your act with fresh humor and trickery. Your charm and wit made for great chemistry with the audience.
I must say you have never fallen short of exceeding the expectations of our audience. Thank you sincerely for another "over the top" performance on behalf of our STIHL retailers and management. We look forward to engaging your services again in the near future.
Robert A. Hynick, Manager, Business Events, STIHL, Inc.
The Regional Meeting: Interested in making your next regional managers meeting your best one yet? Then read the great comments that come from Lloyd Wrisley, AMF RVP, who hired me after meeting me on a plane!
Your recent performance at our Regional meeting in Norfolk was impressive and amazing.
I have received many compliments regarding your performance. Everyone enjoyed it and was impressed by your magic and mind-reading acts.
Thank you again for your contribution to our meeting and making it one of the best meetings ever.
Lloyd Wrisley, Regional Vice President, AMF Bowling, Inc.
The Situation: Need something special for roughly 100 corporate executives from around the world? Who ya gonna call? M Sears, Inc... That's right!
His performance captivated the audience keeping them focused on his incredible command of magic along with his extraordinary sense of humor. I have experience many magic acts and his talent is truly one of a kind.
Our group was truly impressed with Mr. Sears, and I personally would recommend him for any professional or personal function you may foresee in the future.
Richard L. Mattern (Vice President & General Manager, Viasystems)
The Problem: The president's executive secretary saw me perform at a private party in D.C. She then strongly urged the president to hire me to put a "little zing" into a corporate executive retreat held at Nemacolin Woodlands, a gorgeous resort in Pennsylvania. The Answer... M Sears, Inc. There's simply no better solution!
I must say that your show was the absolute highlight of our retreat. All my executives had a great time, which helped foster the "old company spirit!" I would highly recommend your services to any prospective clients.
George Troendle (President, Resource Consultants, Inc)
The Question: How do ya "liven up" an annual corporate meeting? The absolute answer: M Sears, Inc. That's my final answer!
Thank you for an outstanding performance. Not only was the magic exceptional, but your performance helped to move or corporate retreat toward our goal of team building. In short, your performance was awesome. We hope to have you back for our major annual event and look forward to more 'Impact Magic!'
Steve Zollos (Regional Director, Bon Secours)
The Challenge: Canon needed a very unique way of "kicking off" their annual party, for over 2400 attendees, so they contacted me through a fabulous event planner to have me customize and create the perfect moment. Here was the result...
2,400 attendees! Your talents and enthusiasm made this a memorable party for all of us. The opening performance and making Mr. Mori, President and CEO, appear was superb. He really enjoyed it. I have also received numerous comments from employees about your quick-handed card tricks. They added a new dimension to the party.
Rick Hammond (Senior Vice President, Canon Virginia Inc.)
The Recommendation: I was recommended to Merrill Lynch to "spruce UP" their annual party. There was a little reluctance to hiring "a magician… especially at my price," but let's take a look at the bottom line... because that's what counts!
Thank you for your excellent performance at our holiday party. Your magic was very entertaining and was an excellent addition to our evening. The feedback from our guests has been outstanding.
Michael E. Britterly (Director, Merrill Lynch)
The issue: Trigon called me to see how they could "liven up" their annual sales award meeting.
The purpose of this letter is to indicate how entertaining, professional, and funny Michael Sears was in orchestrating and performing our evening of magic. He is a very talented individual.
Paul F. Nezi (Senior Vice President, Trigon)
Here's a corporate executive who had recently seen me several times and CCed me on a letter he wrote to his corporate headquarters strongly recommending me for a national program. Here's the unsolicited comment...
I have seen Mike in action four times, and have thoroughly enjoyed every occasion. Look Mike's credential over and try to find a place in our speaking schedule for this guy, you won't regret it.
G. Mansell (Farmers Insurance Group)
The CHALLENGE: You know that when the POWERS TO BE of the town you live in come to you and say, "IT HAS TO BE VERY SPECIAL (Nancy Creech, President, when referring to the production of King Neptune XXX)" and "I (Morgan Davis, Chairman) WANTED TO MAKE A BIG IMPACT IN ANNOUNCING THE NEW KING before the eyes of 200 of the most influential people of our City!" So, I created a custom show for the "WHO'S WHO" of Virginia Beach's XXX Neptune Festival (One of the largest Festivals in not only VA but also nationally) opening BLACK TIE CEREMONIES! Let's look at the results because that is all that matters:
What a STUNNING SUCCESS! Your involvement as the featured attraction rivaled the eagerness to learn the name of the King Neptune XXX and set the stage for an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL EVENING!
Our guests have said repeatedly --- "it was the best ever" and they marveled at the things that you did. Some just fun and some totally awesome. It was truly a marvelous show!
Nancy Creech (President, Neptune Festival)
In the past three days I can not tell you how many people have called or spoken to me to sing your praises. Your show was the absolute highlight of the evening!
J. Morgan Davis (Chairman)
Many thanks for putting the magic in "Oceans of Magic." With your spell binding performance Saturday night, the gala was the most unique and entertaining King's Announcement that we have ever attended. People are divided as to whether your talent lies in comedy or creating illusion!
Again, thank you for making the beginning of Dan's reign so memorable!
Dan and Nancy Ryan (King Neptune XXX and his Bride)
