amazing!

I have worked with Michael now over 2 pantos down at Broxbourne Civic Hall in Hoddesdon and I can say he is one of the funniest, nicest and most genuine guys you will ever meet!

He is an amazing performer with his quick humour and his cheeky grin! Everyone in the cast and audience loved him! especially the Mums who he would quickly label as "foxy mama's!".


On top of being an amazing performer he is an incredible magician! always happy to do some close up tricks for the kids and when he's on stage... well the tricks he can do there are out of this world!! With the extra bit of comedy that he chucks into his illusions it makes them a real treat!

So lets say in short.... if your looking for a dj or magician. Otton is the choice you should make!

MULTI TALENTED FRIENDLY GUY

Michael is a multi talented, genuinely lovely guy. I first met him when he was performing as 'Buttons' in the Christmas pantomime Cinderella in 2011 at Rickmansworth. He has a special ability to make people laugh and is very quick and witty with it! The children (and adults) loved him!
Michael is a very talented magician. His tricks are faultless. The whole audience will be amazed and left wanting more :))
Michael is also a very talented DJ and a unique entertainer!
I would not hesitate to recommend him and hope to get to see him myself again very soon!

A Powerbomb of Energy

Michael Otton is a unique performer with such energy he simply can't stand still! Watching him on stage in Cinderella was so entertaining and the crowds just kept coming back for more. Not only did he make the audience laugh, young and old, but he wowed them with such clever magic tricks, he just kept them all guessing.
He's simply a powerbomb of energy and a nice guy to boot. Goodness knows how tired he must have been after each performance but he still went out to meet the theatre goers and help to make their experience a truly memorable one. Fantastic!

An Ultimate All-Round Entertainer!

With engaging scenes and jaw dropping illusions, I found Michael Otton's performances gripping! My children loved him so much they wanted to go back to the next Xmas panto just to see him... So we did! Again he was outstanding, a complete all-round entertainer that can amaze in any room, any audience, any age.

Michael is like a uniquely potent cocktail of sounds and moods that'll get you hooked, fast.

Brilliant Actor and Magician.

I first saw Michael playing buttions in Pantomine in December 2011 at Rickmansworth, what a brilliant and talented actor and a wonderful magician, he was also so gracious with his time after the show coming out to meet and greet the children, he also makes a great fire-warden!!
I hope to see Michael again in either Pantomine or a show and hope he is able to share his talents with a wider audience around the country.
If Michael is performing in your area, you must go and see!

Loved Every Moment Of The Amazing Michael Otton.

Mike Otton is truly a star we were lucky enough to be able to see Michael playing 'Buttons' in the Xmas Panto Cinderella at Rickmansworth 2011.

We saw Michael many times and from the moment he took to the stage as 'Buttons' the audience loved him, he was so witty, so quick, so very funny and such a delight to watch. Michael also treated the audiences to the wonderful magic that he does, his magic tricks on stage were just amazing and left us all wanting more!

Michael is a lovely guy he stayed and had pictures taken with folks who waited to see him after the shows, mums dads aunties uncles and of course all of the children just loved him. Michael is certainly the best 'Buttons' I have ever seen and I just absolutely loved Michaels magic as did the audiences.

Michael Otton is one very talented guy you just have to see!

Genuine talent...

Michael is a genuine, great talented guy. He brings a lot of joy and entertainment. He has the ability to make people laugh and smile and knows how to draw in a crowd. Michael is a pleasure to be around and goes from strength to strength. I wish him all the best in all he does and hope his journey brings him as much joy as he brings to others who know and who he entertains. X

A man of many talents!

Michael is truly a talented, amazing entertainer who has alot of unique qualities and is a man of many talents!
I was lucky enough to see Michael in the pantomime Cinderella in Rickmansworth last December and he was amazing. Not only was he 'Buttons' during the performance, he was Buttons after the performance too. He went out and met all the children who clearly loved him and it was lovely to see a performer care so much about their audience. It is evident that Michael puts everything into his performances and his passion for entertaining shines through when he steps foot on the stage. Not everyone is capable of intergrating magic into a pantomime but Michael is and he did it very well. He makes every trick look so easy and he puts his own spell on them too.
I have also seen Michael 'DJ' at one of my friends parties. He really is a natural and he knows exactly how to interact with the audience he is hosting. He made the evening what it was and i wouldnt think twice about booking Michael or recommending him to any of my friends. You never know, he might even teach me a card trick or two!

Michael is a very talented person and is an all over star.

We booked him for a friends birthday and he was amazing, he did exactly what we asked him to do and entertained the guests all evening! Everyone said how great he was and that they would be defiantly booking him for their next event.

Absolutely Fantastic Presenter

We asked Michael to present a new business promotion at the Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex for one of our clients. He was absolutely amazing and with his stage magic crowds gathered in the hundreds with shoppers stopped in their tracks fastened to what he was doing and our client was truly delighetd about how professional and entertaining he was.

A very gifted individual and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any promotion or event

Michael is like an Onion

Loads of layers, but smells better

I had the pleasure of seeing Michael in Cinderella in December 2011, he managed to intergrate some magic tricks into the show which was really well done. But what impressed me the most was Michael 'Buttons' gave up his 15 minute interval to mingle with the children, passing off tricks, high fives and jokes. This shows how much he cares about his audience, I will definatley go and see him again.
Michael also hosted a party for a friend, you should have seen how he decorated the room, would book with him again.
