January 19, 2026We laughed and cried!
We had Jason for our church's 5th anniversary serve team banquet, and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. There were so many layers to his tricks, and the crowd work was excellent. He had us laughing throughout, then flipped it on us with a trick that carried a meaningful message, leaving a few in tears! Highly recommend.

My goal was to have all of our attendees talking about the show the next morning. Sure enough, everyone was so amazed at the show, it became a major topic the next morning and kept the great vibe throughout the next day.

May 1, 2025Actually Awesome! Fun Warm and Genuine
Jason is great. His magic was fun. He was easy to get along with. Fit in perfectly and was great at vibing in an intimate party setting. There were 7 of us and although he does larger groups often it was amazing. He can take jokes and we did a lot of laughing. I would 100% hire him again, and loved his magic. Thanks Jason!!!

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING ABOUT JASON MICHAELS?
"Both jaw-dropping and inspiring! A Jason Michaels' performance is definitely worth the experience."
- Jessica Bliss, The Tennessean
"A demonstration of superb card manipulation."
- Kenneth Sturtz, The New York Times
“Off the Hook! Jason was the Bomb Dot Com! Jason is your guy for magic!”
- Dave Sassano, Warner Music
"Jason and his team are top notch! He was fantastic to work with from beginning to end. Our group has always had a band for entertainment so going out on a limb with an Illusionist was very nerve wracking for me as the event planner. I had a pit in my stomach up until the lights came on, Jason began and the crowd was locked in with his first jaw dropping act. After that all of my worries went away and I knew he was a hit (and very funny too)! It was a huge success and our group is still talking about it!"
- Kelly Lanfersieck, BAM Advisor Services
"Oh, my heavens…incredible! You're fabulous!"
- Holly Thompson, NBC
"Your stage show was incredible!"
- NEC, Inc.
"...you put on a "performance" that included the whole crowd and a variety of illusions, magic and drama. I love the fact that you used the audience so much. When you concluded the show I wanted to see more!"
-Sara Arthur, Special Events Coordinator
"I have heard so many comments about your "strolling magic" before our awards program. That really got everyone interested in you, and what you do. Finally, your stage show was incredible. I truly appreciate how you worked with us so much to meld part of your magic show to include personalizations to our business…we appreciate all you did to make our banquet an unforgettable one."
Tammie Brace-Turnipseed, NEC, Inc.
"Thanks to Jason, we had the busiest booth on the trade show floor and our private training session was the talk of the weekend. We couldn't have had such a rewarding weekend without Jason.

Influences and inspiration
My earliest influence is definitely my grandfather. He was a very special man. And he still influences my life to this day.
After watching a television special as a child I vividly remember wanting to be just like David Copperfield. His magic and illusions are unparalleled as entertainment.
I credit David Blaine for really setting me on fire to learn and perform high impact, excellent sleight of hand magic.
Today I am influenced by artists outside of the realm of magic and illusion. I am absolutely fascinated by the way musicians reach their audiences. U2 is certainly legendary at it.
I am also influenced by great authors such as Patterson, Steinmeyer, Flynn and O'Connor.
