A refined performance experience created for small gatherings, private clubs, and discerning audiences in Naples, Florida.
Jason Michaels is a sleight-of-hand artist known for performances that unfold inches away — quietly astonishing, conversational, and deeply engaging. Rather than spectacle or stagecraft, his work focuses on presence, human connection, and moments of wonder that feel personal and unforgettable.
Jason’s work has been featured on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, TEDx, and in The New York Times, and he is frequently invited to perform for private hosts, executive groups, clubs, and intimate gatherings where discretion and sophistication matter.
Each appearance is thoughtfully tailored to the setting and the guests — designed not as a “show,” but as an experience that unfolds naturally throughout the evening.
Public performances are offered occasionally and announced privately.
The work is often experienced in quiet, unexpected settings — where attention, craft, and atmosphere matter.

An Intimate Moment of Wonder
Performed in a private wine cellar in Portugal.
Sleight of hand pairs naturally with wine tastings and private cellars — environments where guests are already present, relaxed, and engaged. The experience unfolds quietly, often in their own hands, enhancing the ritual rather than interrupting it.
Created for Cigar Aficionado
A bespoke performance developed to tell the story of the magazine.
Jason created a custom sleight-of-hand piece for Cigar Aficionado, using a deck of cards to quietly tell the story of the publication — its history, values, and culture — one card at a time.
The piece reflects the kind of thoughtful, story-driven work often requested for private hosts and institutions.
“A demonstration of superb card manipulation.”
