Nashville, TN – Illusionist Jason Michaels, a Nashville native, recently announced the opening of his new show entitled “SECRETS and ILLUSIONS”. “SECRETS and ILLUSIONS” will play at The Gibson Showcase, Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006 at 7:30 p.m.
“I know that when most people hear the words ‘magic’ or ‘magician’, they think the show is only suitable for an audience of children”, remarks Michaels. “Don’t get me wrong - children will love the show - but I am attempting to create an experience that is far from just being a kids’ magic show. “This show is totally different from what most people would ever expect. My assistant, Ashley Willford, is an exceptionally talented performer who has taken on a lot more then just the role of magic assistant. Ashley is a triple threat (singer, dancer, actor) and together we are creating a show that combines the disciplines of illusion, music, dance, and acting. The show has been designed to be energetic, humorous, sad, sensual, uplifting, even thought provoking. I want my audience to feel a wide range of emotions and leave the theater convinced that magic can be just as powerful as a great movie, song or piece of art.” Michaels notes that one of his key strengths as a stage performer comes from his background as an actor. That training has allowed him to do something that few other magicians have done onstage. It allows him to create and perform as several unique personas that interact with the audience during the show. Michaels’ performance as one of those personas, “Francesco - the Shakespearean street hustler”, resulted in two 2nd place finishes at two separate, major international magic competitions last summer. Audiences can expect to encounter “Francesco”, along with several other of Michaels’ characters during the show, but should also be ready to enjoy numerous high-energy stage illusions as well as a haunting story featuring razor blades. Jason initially became interested in magic during a visit to a magic shop some fourteen years ago. After his initial interest flourished and following his graduation from college, Jason had the unique opportunity to work for and train with Master Illusionist Brett Daniels for several years in Tunica, MS. He again worked with Daniels a few years later, touring China with him twice. Michaels has traveled all over the world performing magic and is thrilled to bring his show to a local Nashville audience. “SECRETS and ILLUSIONS” will play at The Gibson Showcase Wednesday, August 2, 2006. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door, $8 for advanced tickets and kids 12 and under are $5. Advance tickets are available by calling 615-430-3666 or through e-mail - jm@jasonmichaelsmagic.com. The Gibson Showcase is located at Opry Mills Mall – 161 Opry Mills Drive, Nashville, TN.

Jason,
Sorry I missed your show. I was just in Nashville recently. I'm from Camden, TN and still have family members around the state. If you worked with Brett you probably know Dana Nelson. I worked for Gold Strike when it was still Circus Circus in '94-'96. I also worked the Horseshoe, the Sheraton, and the Grand casinos in that area.
