A Resource for Editorial Teams Covering Culture, Craft, and Curated Experience

Jason Michaels is a sleight-of-hand artist, keynote speaker, and author whose work explores performance as an art form — intimate, human, and rooted in presence rather than spectacle.

His work has appeared in and alongside respected cultural and lifestyle outlets, and he is frequently invited to create bespoke performances and experiences for publications, private hosts, and institutions seeking something refined, intelligent, and meaningful.

Based in Nashville, with regular appearances in Naples and select destinations worldwide.

Jason serves as President-Elect of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the world’s largest and most historic magic society. His perspective is shaped by a life spent studying attention, discipline, and human perception — both onstage and off — including his experience growing up with Tourette Syndrome.

EDITORIAL COLLABORATIONS

Jason collaborates with editors and producers on features, essays, filmed segments, and bespoke storytelling concepts that explore craft, culture, ritual, and the art of attention. His work is best suited for outlets interested in refined experiences, human insight, and narrative-driven performance rather than traditional “magic coverage.”

A curated selection of past media features, interviews, and appearances is available for reference.
