aw...what a charming, smart and thoroughly talented man he is...

i was genuinely touched by that :D

even his first effect - shows how something simple in execution can be elevated beyond that with effective presentational skills...his colour changes were superb too... :D

I totally agree Iain.

I've been fortunate to have met Michael a few times and he was one of my judges at my MC audition.

A great man and regarded as one of the great magicians of our time.

a pleasure to watch, and was a pleasure to meet not so long ago - a genuinely great guy, and a very talented magician. Gave me some very sound advice of which I have utilised in performances

Love

Michael is someone I never tire of watching across a computer screen, I just hope I will be fortunate to see the man perform himself one day now that will be a performance, he truly is phenomanal. His elegants, style and card handling are almost hypnotic, top magician

His elegance sets him apart from the rest. It really is a moving final effect.

I like Michael Vincent and he is world class. He is a different class of performer who values poetry and artistry. He is not someone who looks for the quick reaction or the instantly visual.


His magic needs to be digested like a gastronomical delight......When street magic and the "instant" gratification culture changes then.....he will be given more of the Success he deserves for his artistry.

Magic + Michael Vincent = Beautiful Magic

Yes, Michael Vincent creates a great entertainment with his skilled showmanship and his pace is brilliant.
I met him just over 2 years ago in London and he's also such a likable fellow. I bought his Tapestry of Deception DVDs (Trilogy) and enjoy his work thoroughly.

Thanks Lenoir for posting this. He looks like a real gentleman.

On a different forum he posted a link to his youtube channel and his shop:
