AT THE CARD TABLE

A Private Personal Appearance by Jason Michaels

An invitation-only evening of world-class sleight of hand, remarkable stories, and intimate astonishment.


There are performances you attend…
and then there are evenings you experience.

At the Card Table is not presented as a traditional show.
It is a private personal appearance by Jason Michaels — one of the world’s most accomplished sleight-of-hand artists — created for hosts who value refinement, craftsmanship, and meaningful human connection.

Offered only on a limited basis each year, this experience is designed for discerning audiences who appreciate mastery, intimacy, and the rare opportunity to spend time with an extraordinary individual.


THE EXPERIENCE

Guests gather around an elegant table.
There is no stage. No barrier. No distance.

Over the course of the evening, Jason weaves together:

  • astonishing card artistry, performed inches away

  • stories from decades of international travel, including performances in over 50 countries

  • insights into discipline, focus, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence

  • moments of wonder that unfold in guests’ own hands

The experience is conversational, refined, and deeply engaging — unfolding organically rather than following a rigid “program.”

Some moments are breathtakingly impossible.
Others are quiet, thoughtful, and unexpectedly human.

What unites them all is presence.


WHY “AT THE CARD TABLE” IS DIFFERENT

This experience is crafted for people who have “seen it all.”

It is not designed to impress through scale or spectacle, but through:

  • precision

  • restraint

  • intimacy

  • and extraordinary skill honed over decades

Jason’s sleight of hand is the foundation — but the evening is about connection, curiosity, and shared astonishment.

Guests don’t leave talking about “tricks.”
They leave talking about how it felt.
