"Michael was outstanding. High school teachers are a difficult audience; however, he had all 600 employees, including high school teachers, standing up, making "whirley bird airplanes", using 3-D glasses, laughing, participating, and thoroughly enjoying everything he had to say. He made them proud to be in the teaching profession." Michael was AWESOME! He was flexible, easy to work with, energetic, fun, personable ... what other great adjectives can I come up with? He stayed on message, yet was willing (and able) to make client-requested changes to the script at the 11th hour. He really is fluid in everything he does. The client just LOVED him. He did three great shows, and the third was as good as the first. He jumped in the crowd afterward, talking to kids, signing autographs and encouraging them to continue on in the sciences, and they responded so well!

Here's a great story about how good he is with kids. After the second show, we wanted some video footage of Michael talking with kids. So, I headed up to a main concourse, Michael and crew in tow, and corralled about 10 kids who had just seen Michael on stage. I asked if they wanted to meet and talk with him, and they were excited, of course. So, Michael stepped in and started talking to them as we filmed. He asked questions, talked to them both as a group and as individuals, and the kids were quickly smiling and laughing and having a great time. Well, within five minutes, that group of 10 kids had grown to more than FIFTY ... and was still growing! The guy is a kid magnet. I commented to my show director, "There's a guy who's doing exactly what he's meant to do."
