As, "a reader of people, thoughts, and fortunes," Michael Jons astounds audience with his modern take on the classical art of mind-reading in his mind-boggling and hilarious hit show, "Michael Jons' Psychic Cabaret”. Jons has performed the highly acclaimed show in residency since 2014, first in his own showroom in Fort Lauderdale, Florida then at The Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, DC after moving to the city in 2015.

Michael started honing his psychic skills at an early age, learning from his grandmother who was an intuitive reader. Audiences today have a better understanding that much of what Michael does is a mixture of intuition and human psychology. “I’m using techniques and abilities that have been developed over the centuries, and are still used every day by advertisers, politicians, the clergy -- even your own mothers -- to read, influence and predict your thoughts.” The one thing that hasn’t changed is that people are just as fascinated and entertained by these remarkable demonstrations today as they were a century ago.

In addition to his ongoing residency show, Michael Jons can be seen touring around the country in his theatrical stage show, "Michael Jons' Wicked Thoughts" and starring in the spooky, "Raising Spirits in the Crypt", a show he performs every October in an actual underground cemetery vault. Whether you're an ardent skeptic or a true believer, you will agree that Michael Jons is an amazing entertainer. We predict you'll love his show!
