Having grown up in a small town in the Bootheel of
Missouri
, Morgan has been captivating audiences for over a decade with his commanding stage presence and breath-taking illusions.
Morgan's entree into the World of Illusion began as a child when his parents gave him a magic set for his birthday. Instantly bitten by the "magic bug", Morgan began performing for family and friends. By his early teens, he was a local celebrity, performing close-up and stage magic for birthday parties, corporate events and church functions. At age 17, Morgan was immersed in the design and construction of his first full-scale illusion show. The show opened with Morgan magically producing a convertible sports car out of thin air!
That first show held greater significance for Morgan then even he anticipated. He was joined with Mikala, who would become his personal and professional partner. Morgan & Mikala st arted doing magic shows throughout the Midwest, capturing the attention of numerous television and radio stations. In an astonishing display of wizardry, Morgan & Mikala shocked and amazed the public when they vanished a 20-story municipal power plant that sprawled over 2 city blocks!
Morgan stretched his creative capabilities even further when he became the youngest magician in the world to catch a live bullet between his teeth.
This deadly illusion, which had killed 13 performers in the past, garnered front-page newspaper coverage for Morgan, as well as exposure on the CBS Evening News.
Feeling the call of the World
Mecca
of Magic, Morgan, Mikala and their young son, Caleb, soon called
Las Vegas
home. During this past year, the dynamic magical duo finalized design and completed construction of their revolutionary, multi-million show, which ranks as one of the largest in existence.
Along the way to their Magical Destiny, Morgan & Mikala have assembled a top-notch team. To insure world-class advice and counsel, Morgan recently forged a new relationship with a highly regarded, Las Vegas-based management group. This seasoned team of entertainment professionals has worked with some of this generation’s brightest stars. Their upcoming
Las Vegas
show will be supported by a professional cast of over twenty dancers and crew. Morgan & Mikala rely on the stellar technical expertise of Greg Mulvey of LA-based Presto Productions to capture their "magical presence" on the World-Wide Web and in custom video productions.
The buzz is spreading fast about The Magic of Morgan & Mikala. In the past few years, they were featured in a front-page article in the Los Angeles Times, interviewed live by the BBC in London and Scotland, performed on the NBC special, Extreme Variety, contributed their magical skills to a national television commercial, entertained a “Who’s Who” list of Hollywood celebrities at a party given by Michael Jackson at his Neverland Ranch Estate, and achieved acclaim as finalists in the 2003 World Championship of Magic.
During 2005, The Magic of Morgan & Mikala went “international” during a tour in Seoul, Korea. They performed hundreds of sold-out shows in the spectacular 2,200-seat SeoulLand Amphitheatre. Also, Morgan performed personally for scores of Hollywood stars and celebrities, such as Tom Hanks, Ben Stiller, Jude Law, Quentin Tarantino, Michael Jordan, John Stamos, Paris Hilton, Tara Reid, Vince Neal of Motley Crue, Carson Daly, Jason Biggs, Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley, R. Kelly, Ice T, and Anna Nicole Smith. The year’s most memorable highlight came when magic’s undisputed “living legend”, David Copperfield, invited Morgan to give a private performance for him and his crew after his Las Vegas performance at the MGM Grand.
During 2006, look for Morgan in television specials and documentaries on E! Entertainment Television, Bravo and VH-1. Currently, Morgan & Mikala are immersed in pre-production design and planning for a future television special and global tour in 2007.
