Close-up

And most important, his magic is unbelievable.  People gasp as Michael manipulates a common deck of playing cards into a symphony of miracles.  The deck is shuffled and cut by anyone, yet amazing poker hands are dealt at will.  Freely chosen cards will vanish, only to reappear in the most impossible locations.  Michael's gambling demonstrations are legendary.  That's why the casino industry uses him as a secret consultant.

Michael is best known as the Magician with the $1,000 bill.  Yes, a real U.S. $1,000 bill!  Audiences thrill to his original routine titled "Money Is An Illusion Of Wealth", where money seems to appear and disappear like magic, only to expand beyond the natural laws of physics and finance.

His most famous trick, the one he perfected at Hollywood's Magic Castle, is the barehanded vanish of his wedding ring.  You can ask him to pull up his sleeves, you can even hold him tight by the wrists.  It doesn't matter.  The ring vanishes in a snap, only to reappear back on the wedding ring finger.  At that moment, the purity of the magical experience cause many people to shriek with delight.

Michael's close-up magic is ideal for parties and receptions.  This professional fun-maker quickly becomes the life of the party.  It's no surprise that Magician Michael is one of the most popular close-up performs in San Diego, La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe.  Your guests will never forget the Magician who brings happiness to their imagination.
