After being fascinated by master pickpocket and deception specialist Apollo Robbins, Michael begins to imitate his techniques and to teach groups of his peers as to how to protect themselves from being pickpocketed. Later on, that passion for deception and misdirection (at least the legal side of it) led him to start practicing simple magic tricks.

 

Shortly after that he found that regardless of age people all around, find that child-like excitement when they experience the wonder that is magic. While in the UK, Michael began developing his skills and is now a skilled Stage, Close up, Wedding,  and event magician. He has also had the pleasure of creating illusions for big theatre companies including Pendle Productions and Slung Low.

 

Michael’s crowning magical achievements are his Magical Lecture “It’s About Time” which is touring later on in the year and next year, and his one man show simply titled “The Magician” which is currently being written by Bob Farquar.

 

Shown below is an example of some of his variety/comedy magic for reference, some photos from preforming, and some of the thoughts from a few satisfied customers.
