Michael was born in the Bronx. As a child, he spent his time mastering the arts: switch-blading (rollerblading was not in yet), picking pockets and deception—the arts of survival, not unlike his parents.
When the family moved to Queens Michael was away at summer camp, unfortunately without that information he lost touch. But was soon reunited with his family. In his late teens, this time being included, his family move to Southern California. Given his new choices, college or Viet Nam, he opted for college. Degree in one hand and outstretched thumb in the other, he hit the road in search of himself. Two years later running out of thumb and thinking he saw himself in Boulder, Colorado, he accidentally changed his life forever
by purchased a magic trick.
Now, many, many and many, many years later, still traveling the world (still looking) still surviving, now making his home in Austin, Texas, here he is. Make your own conclusions. Anyway, he thanks y'all for being here. Magical Mystical Michael.
