Before working with Lance, Michael performed for a year in the "Folies Bergiere" at the Tropicana Hotel, Las Vegas. Before and after that time he appeared as a regular act in at least a dozen other "Las Vegas Style" shows in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New York, Miami, and for some strange reason, Valley Forge, PA. Michael also spent a couple of years doing shows on cruise lines.

Michael has performed his act in Paris, Madrid, Tokyo, Budapest, and Santiago. He learned his act in French, Spanish, Japanese, and Hungarian. We don't know how he managed to do this. He doesn't speak any of those languages well enough to ask for a glass of water.

Michael is currently working as a writer and executive producer for the magicians Penn & Teller and for their Showtime Network TV series, "Penn and Teller: B.S."

Michael performs at corporate events and trade shows for clients as big and diverse as IBM, and as small as Old Uncle Gaylord's Ice Cream parlor.
