Michael Feldman, a well-known professional magician (and former attorney) based in San Francisco with family ties to Beth Israel, will share with us his unusual career path and his equally unique approach to magic that integrates wit, logic, and story-telling – all of them very Jewish traits.
Michael will be joining us remotely to give his talk via Zoom.
The Men’s Club monthly Speaker’s Forum & Dinner is held in the Feuerstein Family Activity Center, with dinner from 6:30 to 7:00 pm followed by the presentation and discussion from 7:00 to 8:00 pm.
$20 to attend in person and enjoy the deli buffet dinner.
A Zoom option is available for those unable to attend in person or prefer to “listen only.”
Michael Feldman is one of the country’s most creative and astonishing magicians, performing at corporate and private events across the San Francisco Bay Area. He has appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, performed off-Broadway, at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, and for hundreds of Fortune 500 events and exclusive private parties. He has published three best-selling books of original magic and regularly consults for other magicians.
As a kid, Michael started attending Hebrew School at Beth Israel's old, downtown campus. He donated his Bar Mitzvah money to Show BIS. He served as President of BITY. He was in Madrichim. He's chanted torah at numerous Civic-Theater-High-Holidays, and yet somehow he's never gotten his fill of being in front of an audience.
Michael combines storytelling, psychology, and modern magic to captivate sophisticated audiences. Before transitioning to a full-time career in magic, Feldman spent over a decade working in the tech and legal fields. This unique background allows him to seamlessly blend storytelling, modern psychology, and highly skilled sleight of hand—often bringing an analytical and highly engaging approach to his performance.
