We look forward to having you join us for a night of superb entertainment. There will be a full food and drink menu available at the event. Mike Super’s life has been characterized by an obsession and passion for magic. He has astonished millions of people with his craft, including the Hollywood elite. Mike has performed for Jeffery Katzenberg, Ellen DeGeneres, , Kenny Chesney, Criss Angel, , Craig Ferguson, Kim Kardashian, Carmen Electra, Disney’s Raven Simone, Joan Rivers, Gary Shandling, and Robin Leach to name but a few. Super’s ever-growing popularity has garnered him many prestigious awards and honors, including being the only magician in history to win a LIVE magic competition on primetime U.S. network television. In addition, his other accom- plishments include being named Entertainer of the Year, Best Performing Artist of the Year, Best Novelty Performer of the Year … AND voted America’s Favorite Mystifier on NBC’s hit TV Show PHENOMENON. Despite all of this, Super humbly insists, it is the loyalty of his fan base that has been most rewarding. His fans call themselves “THE SUPERFREAKS” and they number in the millions. He has a natural ability to entertain and fascinate people, and he has pioneered a new form of magic with his own inimitable, down-to-earth style and personality. He enchants the public. His appeal to both young and old has made him one of the most sought after mystifiers in the world! Autograph Signing Party. Mike Super won’t disappear after the show. In fact, Mike will hold a Meet & Greet following the performance, where he will sign Mike Super photos and is willing to have pictures taken with audience members desiring to do so.
