He has had starring roles on NBC’s The World’s Most Dangerous Magic II\, five seasons of The CW’s Masters of Illusion (also syndicated in over 100 countries worldwide)\, and POP’s Don’t Blink\, and his magic has been featured on the Emmy-nominated FOX series Bones\, The Today Show\, Access Hollywood\, Entertainment Tonight\, SportsCenter\, and The Bold and the Beautiful. Michael has also been featured in Parade\, Entertainment Weekly\, AXS.com\, Hidden Remote\, Starpulse\, The Huffington Post\, Young Hollywood\, and The Beverly Hills Times. Michael was a featured guest on CNBC’s Make It\, a series about people who have achieved success in challenging industries\, as well as on the cover of TV Times\, released nationally across the U.S. \nPossessing a true passion for amazing live audiences\, Michael has performed at a wide range of venues nationwide\, including Heinz Hall with renowned conductor Marvin Hamlisch and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra; casinos including Harrah’s Resort and Casino in Atlantic City\, Three Rivers Casino Resort\, Saratoga Casino\, Spirit Lake Casino\, Casino Rama\, and Shooting Star Casino; and theaters and arenas including Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (Los Angeles\, CA)\, Durham Performing Arts Center (Durham\, NC)\, A.J. Palumbo Center (Pittsburgh\, PA)\, Paramount Theater (Huntington\, NY)\, Symphony Hall (Phoenix\, AZ)\, and Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte\, NC)\, surrounded by 60\,000 people for the Carolina Panthers Halftime Show. Michael has also performed custom presentations for major corporations including Google\, Southwest Airlines\, Ernst & Young\, The American Marketing Association\, Mazda\, Rite-Aid\, Harley Davidson\, and many more. \nIn addition\, Michael was honored to be the first illusionist ever invited to perform in the National Independence Day Parade in Washington D.C. During this remarkable celebration\, Michael levitated a girl high above one of the floats as it moved down Constitution Avenue\, while a live audience of 250\,000 people watched in amazement. \nThe Magic of Michael Grandinetti LIVE production features breathtaking wonders from Michael’s extraordinary career\, right before your very eyes. Legendary magic plots of levitation\, teleportation\, mind reading\, and more are reimagined for today’s audiences\, making them more visual\, surprising\, and even more astounding than ever before. However\, audiences don’t just watch the magic; they’re pulled into an interactive experience where everyone in the theater becomes part of the magic! By blurring the line between illusion and reality in a groundbreaking yet personable way\, Michael Grandinetti gives his audiences an engaging\, entertaining\, and one-of-a-kind experience they’ll never forget. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
