Description

Michael's brand of magic is very impactful. He prides himself on creating wonderful memories and moments for clients where seeing, is truly, believing. Since mastering the art of 'Close-up Magic' he has been asked to entertain audiences at Corporate Dinners in San Fransico, California, to trade shows in Boston, and even headlining rock and roll shows in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. After seeing several performances in Nightclubs all over the triangle, Zspotlight stated, "Mike is regarded by many as the top close-up magician in the Triangle area."

His style of magic is best suited for a situation where he is mingling about (also known as strolling magic) and using only the most everyday props. With simply a deck of cards, a few rubberbands, and some spare change, Michael has been known to entertain for hours at a time, creating unique and individual experiences for all in attendance.

Michael has worked for:

First Health (Raleigh), Elon University, Amgen Pharmaceuticals, Eli Lilly, Lenovo, Quintiles, Suntrust Banks, IBM, AT&T, Onyx, ESS Lounge, BFG, The Pourhouse, The Lincoln Theater and many, many more!

"I'm not easily impressed by much...but WOW!"

- Bob Dumas, G105's Bob & The Showgram

"There's something about growing up your whole life with people telling you that most everything is impossible...getting to watch Michael do magic makes me glad I never believed them!"

- Brian Venable, Guitarist, Lucero

"You are an inspiring individual. The biggest lure of tour is the prospect of meeting remarkable folks all across the US, and meeting you has strengthened that argument greatly."

- David Slade, American Princes

"He's a brilliant, brilliant magician, and it's good to know there's a little bit of magic left in the world."

- William Elliot Whitmore, Singer/Songwriter

Feedback

  • Michael was great. I would recommend him to any and all looking for a magician. Absolutly no complaints. -- David B, Raleigh, NC, 4/18/2009
  • Absolutely thrilled. His magic was excellent, but what we loved the most was how good he was with the crowd, he knew who they were each time, if it was two people, he made contact with both, if it was 10 he learned them all. He had everyone participate, not just watch. We are his latest fans. Vickie Zimmerman -- Vickie Z, Columbia, SC, 2/3/2009
  • Mr. Casey exceeded all of our expectations. He was personable, engaging and kept our guests enthralled while wanting more. He was outstanding! -- Dwayne B, Durham, NC, 12/21/2008
  • We had Michael join us to mingle/magic his way through a “social hour” of drinks/appetizers at my father's 70th birthday party. Michael is an unpretentious guy who does phenomenal magic. He blew everyone away. I didn’t know we had a magician of his caliber in Raleigh. He’s a personable guy who mingled well with everyone, and then completely blew their minds. You knew where he was due to the squeals of delight, hearty laughter, and oohs and aahs of amazement. He even had a thoughtful special trick for the guest of honor yielding a unique magic memento of the evening. His entertainment really made the evening special. I absolutely recommend Michael. -Damon Meads -- Damon M, Raleigh, NC, 11/1/2008
