Michael spent his younger years performing magic to make friends and meet girls. After graduating from college, it became his job. He's performed all over the country, met lots of people -- even wrote a book. After all this, he still feels like more of a Professional Smartass than a Magician.

In a style reminiscent of a late-night talk show, Michael invites the audience to laugh with him at the absurdity of a modern-day magician. He combines his sarcastic and irreverent sense of humor with mind-blowing magic in a way that seems to let the audience "in on the joke." As he tours college campuses all over the country, Michael's audiences are experiencing what its like when a stand up comic performs (and occasionally pokes fun at) the art of magic.
