We were very impressed with your services at our holiday event. The fire dancers
were a really nice compliment to the fire & ice theme and were well received
by our team!

On behalf of the Town of Acton, I wanted to express our sincerest
appreciation for Joanna and your participation at our Winterfest event
held at NARA Park in Acton, Massachusetts on February 3, 2007.
We had a great turnout for Winterfest on Saturday, with well over
3,000 attendees for the early evening event. Everyone had a great
time viewing the firespinning and we had even received calls after the
event telling us how much they enjoyed your performance. We look
forward to having you back at NARA for upcoming events as fire
spinning surely a big hit with the attendees.

Michael's knowledge of both his art and the regulations with which he
must abide made for an extremely smooth process. Michael brought years
of experience and know-how, and a calm, approachable, and nice
attitude to the table. A production manager's dream artist. The night
of the performance, Michael and his fellow fire performers Brad
Gutkin, Aaron Grossman and Joanna Keseberg were aces all around.
Having done his homework, there were no surprises, no big questions,
and no head-aches. The performance, synchronized to music, was
beautiful. As a light snow fell local artists, event staff, and the
public were mesmerized by a wonderful display of the beauty of fire. I
was mesmerized by how easy Michael made the addition of this element
to our event. I look forward to the next time I can work with Michael
Farrell.

I can't thank you enough for your performance at Boston University.
Our students loved the event and we can't wait to bring you back. I
really appreciate how easy you were to work with and how willing you
were to help us to calm fears about bringing a fire performance to
campus. Your fellow performers - Chad, Aaron, Brad, and Joanna - were
superb as well! The Offices of Environmental Health & Safety, Facilities
Management and the Dean of Students all commented on how professional
you were. You were always very easy to reach and willing to work with our
needs. I wish you much success with future events and look forward to
working with you again.

Michael Kevin Farrell's Poi Spinning performance brought Cranmore
Mountain's Cranapalooza, a Saturday Night skiing festival, to a whole
new level last winter. His fellow performers - Joanna Keseberg, Aaron
Grossman, Brad Gutkin and Maria Nassen - brought the show to a new
level. Many eyebrows were raised when guests heard that there would be
"fire spinning" later that evening, and as the first "poi toy"
was lit
on fire the magic was unleashed. At one performance we were lucky
enough to have a special guest, Leim the break dancer as seen on, "So
You Think You Can Dance?" this was a great combination of fire and
head spinning!! Not only are the shows phenomenal, but Michael is one
of the most professional performers I have had the pleasure of working
with. The fire spinners have been the most requested performance for
the upcoming Cranapalooza season!

Michael's performance was a real crowd pleaser. The way Michael and
his fellow performers Aaron and Joanna manipulate
fire is not only enchanting and artistic for the viewer, but it also
carries an interesting and important commentary on everyday life. The
best part of Michael's performance might be his kind manner and
willingness to answer any questions you might have about his show and
set location. His show really helped make the night special. I highly
recommend him.

My wife and I had Michael and Joanna Keseberg spin at our wedding
reception. It was a suprise for my wife who had always said she wanted
fire spinners at her wedding, but she never really thought it was
possible. Michael did a fantastic job corresponding with me to set
everything up, and was very flexible to meet my requests. Most
importantly, the show was amazing. Both performers were obviously
adept spinners and they put on a well correographed show. My wife and
I and our friends and family rave about them and the whole experience
to this day. I would highly recommend Michael for his professionalism
and poi spinning skills.
