About Michael OJ

My name is Michael Oldziej, and I have been a magician for over ten years. During that time, I traveled worldwide, performing and perfecting my craft, from being a street magician in Ireland to entertaining at Mohegan Sun Casino. My unique chaotic approach blends powerful technical skill with witty comedy, where I will demonstrate an array of magic from all aspects of the craft! For YOUR event, I will tailor my vast knowledge of magic to add to any atmosphere, leaving lasting memories for years to come.

Event Types

Renaissance Faires

Michael started performing at Renaissance Faires and, thus, are very near and dear to his heart. At Faire, he specializes in his patron interactions bringing life to the fairgrounds while performing walk-around magic. Over the years, he cultivated four different shows to allow patrons the opportunity to see a variety of magic and other tricks regardless of which show they attend. He creates a fun atmosphere that both adults and kids will love. Usually, his show runs 30 minutes but can be extended to 45 minutes, depending on the need!

Not only does he do traditional Renaissance Faires, but also Steampunk Festivals and themed shows. He will make it a point to make his style fit in with whichever event you run!

As a college-educated Historian and History Teacher, Michael has created a “Period Magic Show,” teaching the history of medieval magic and performing tricks that were done during the era. Ask about this one if you are interested!

His resume includes; Connecticut Renaissance Faire, New Hampshire Ren, Maine Ren, Sparta Ren, Capital District NY Ren, Wizardfest, and so much more!

Anime & Comic Conventions

At heart, Michael is a huge geek. In his spare time, when not doing magic, he writes professionally for tabletop roleplaying games. So the only logical step was to design a show tailor-made for anime conventions! He performs with a Yu-Gi-Oh Deck using his sleight of hand to find Exodia! Tears up a BLACK LOTUS on Stage and then Restores it magically! Read the mind of an audience member’s favorite Pokémon and much more! His magic has enhanced the atmosphere and the love of the fandom conventions strive to create!

Reach out to add magic to your next anime convention (well, not THAT Magic, as in The Gathering, but magic).
