Upcoming Performances
Most of my performances are at private events (e.g., weddings, holiday parties, bar/bat mitzvahs), except for my recurring performances at Salt Point Brewing Co and other occasional public events such as festivals. I list all public performances here on this calendar.
Come see me at Salt Point Brewing Co. in Lansing on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month! It’s a beautiful, family-friendly spot. I’ll be going from table to table, so be sure to call me over!
I’m usually there from 5:00-7:00pm, but check this calendar for times and any changes to this schedule, or click here to add this to your own calendar.

What?!? No!!!
When Matt performs, you’ll hear people yelling a lot. But don’t worry, that’s a good sign. It means people’s minds have been blown and they’re unable to do much more than yell. But it passes, and then they can make full sentences again. Until the next part in the performance and they’re back to yelling.
Watch the video below to see what I mean.
About Matt
I have been performing around the world for over 25 years.
I’m a “close-up” magician, meaning I do sleight of hand magic using cards, coins, rope, and other everyday objects. The magic I do happens in your hands, right in front of you.

Magic is a Performing Art
Magic is an art. That trick your uncle showed you is just a trick. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s not magic either. If you think magic is for kids, you’re thinking of tricks, not magic.
Magic puts you in a different frame of mind – one of wonder and amazement. It blows your mind by showing you the impossible.
And magic is a great way to help people connect. Wondering what to say to someone at a party? “Did you see the magician??” is an easy way to get a fun conversation going.
