A charmingly original comedian, Michael Dardant, a.k.a. “Magic Mike” combines the art of illusion and skillful manipulation with fresh and creative comedy. His sidesplitting routines and impressive “off the cuff” crowd interaction make each show a totally unique experience. He has been performing professionally since high school and his blend of comedy and magic has been popular act at an endless variety of venues such as schools, casinos, cruise ships, comedy clubs, and minimum security prisons
When asked how he gained such unique skills and abilities, Michael claims to have been bitten by a wizard at the age of five and then raised by a pack of Cajuns. This molded him early on into an exceptional comedian/magician. It was then he knew he would never be cut out for a regular job. Of course, his mother claims it was more of a combination of a magic kit from Santa and serious case of attention deficit disorder.
Michael was born in France and then asked to leave, which forced him, like many other misunderstood children, to grow up in South Louisiana. From circus workshops to school plays, he was entertaining any chance he could and at thirteen he became unnaturally fascinated with the art of magic. Once Magic Mike picked up his 1st deck of cards he never put it back down, well….except to eat. Michael made many sacrifices such as Saturday morning cartoons, book report deadlines, and dating in high school to allow him the time and discipline necessary to master his talent. Because of this, his sleight of hand is a marvel to admire. His close up manipulation will leave one dazed and amazed, confused and amused, or otherwise completely unaffected.
From mime and juggling to acting and improvisation, Mike’s entertainment studies have ranged so vastly that you never know what to expect. His true love is comedy and his show is packed with it. He has any audience at any event rolling in the aisles. How many performers could get a standing ovation from twelve thousand people for a twenty minute show using nothing but a roll of toilet paper and a deck of cards? Give up? Not many!
