Michael Turco fell in love with the mystery of magic when he was just 5 years old. Spending his summers just miles from the strip in Atlantic City, Michael saw every magic show in the area and was intent to master each trick and illusion on his own. Turco knew it was just a matter of time before his name would be on the marquis of some of the most luxurious casinos in the world.
Now, at 26, Michael works a crowd with the panache of a seasoned veteran. He’s not only mastered the tricks from his childhood but has whipped up some of his own that are stirring up a serious buzz. Fans describe Turco as a natural born talent.
When Turco was just 16, the New York Times profiled him during a time he was filling performance halls, finishing school term papers and serving as the opening act for VH-1’s Storytellers/SAVE-THE-MUSIC
Turco places his stamp on classic tricks and illusions by adding a fun, edgy twenty-something flair to his spectacular stage show. Michael is a Member of the Society of American Magicians and the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
