An Evening of Sleight of Hand
Intimate Card Artistry with Jason Michaels
(Public Show · Premium Tickets · Limited Seating)
This is not a magic show in the traditional sense.
It is an intimate evening devoted to one of the most demanding and misunderstood art forms in the world: sleight of hand with playing cards.
Performed inches away, without assistants or spectacle, Jason Michaels invites a small audience into a refined exploration of skill, focus, and human attention. Cards are shuffled, handled, and transformed in ways that feel less like tricks and more like quiet impossibilities — unfolding in real time, often in the hands of the audience themselves.
Woven throughout the performance are stories drawn from decades of international travel, private gatherings, and a life spent studying excellence — not only how rare skills are developed, but what they reveal about discipline, resilience, and presence.
Some moments are breathtakingly impossible.
Others are subtle, thoughtful, and unexpectedly human.
What unites them all is intimacy.
Seating is limited by design.
Every detail is intentional.
This is an evening for those who appreciate craft, conversation, and experiences that cannot be replicated on a screen.
“A demonstration of superb card manipulation.”

A Moment of Artistry
Occasionally, a single moment can capture what words cannot.
The brief excerpt offers a glimpse — not of the full experience, but of the kind of proximity, attention, and reaction that defines the evening.
“...incredibly funny!”
The full experience unfolds over the course of the evening and cannot be captured on camera.
“A treat of tricks…entertaining and frequently surprising…his tricks are impressive and you feel constantly amazed.”
“…how and where Michaels finds cards only they [audience members] are supposed to know or have somewhere on their person is truly extraordinary.”
“Jason Michaels’ commanding stage presence captures an audience in magical ways. He not only astounds with his slight-of-hand card tricks, but he also takes spectators on a compelling journey as a storyteller. Both jaw-dropping and inspiring – a Jason Michaels’ performance is definitely worth the experience.”
Past evenings have been presented in intimate venues for limited audiences.
Future dates are announced selectively.
“I believe that entertainment is a noble and important profession that allows people to escape the difficulties of the world, encourages them to dream, and inspires them to live bigger, fuller lives. I love performing sleight-of-hand because together we share a rare, fragile moment of amazement and wonder.”
