We had Michael at our event at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. His magic was amazing, and it was hard for us to drink because we were laughing so much!
Stop looking and hire Michael!

Michael Graves was amazing. At 2 in the morning, the crowd of tired High school students not only kept their attention but energized them to "No Way" and "Wow"s. Michael quickly established great rapport with the audience and continued throughout the act to deliver a comfortable, clean, and very entertaining show.

He kept the audience 100% involved with the performance! His magic was absolutely breathtaking and amazing. We couldn't have found better entertainment for our event; words can't even describe how great he was!

Michael Graves
From the age of four, my Uncle Nick sparked my fascination with magic, starting with the ever-elusive “Who’s got your nose?” (I’m still not entirely sure.) What began as playful curiosity quickly evolved into a lifelong passion, nurtured by my mother's constant encouragement. With her unwavering support and saint-like patience, my journey into the mysterious world of magic truly began.
By the time I was 12, I was performing paid shows for friends, family, and anyone who’d let me practice my latest mind-bending routine. When I wasn’t on stage, I was studying—devouring every book I could find (the local library knew me by name). Growing up in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, I had the rare fortune of access to not one, but two legendary magic shops: Twin Cities Magic & Costume and Eagle Magic (yes, the same Eagle Magic where Houdini himself once shopped). There, I learned from seasoned professionals and collected stories, skills, and more than a few decks of cards.
Of course, none of this would’ve been possible without my mom enduring hours of, “Mom, watch this! Mom—look! Look!” So, thanks, Mom.
Today, I continue down that magical path, blending the art of magic with the power of the mind. I invite you to experience the strange, the mysterious, and have your Mind Unleashed through the lens of my magic and mentalism.
