Mike Bliss is a husband, father of five, and a proud grandfather. When he’s not on stage, he enjoys playing games, staying active through sports, and watching movies with his family. His philosophy is simple: work hard, play hard.
Mike’s passion for magic began at the age of three during a preschool party, where he witnessed an older sibling of a classmate perform a string-cutting trick that was magically restored. That moment sparked a lifelong love for the art.
For over 30 years, Mike has been performing his award-winning comedy, magic, and pick-pocketing show across the country—from Miami, FL, to Fairbanks, AK, to the World Famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, and internationally from Cancun to Honolulu to Tahiti. He headlined his own show in Branson, MO, and has entertained troops and their families at 39 Air Force bases across the U.S. His performances have also reached thousands aboard cruise ships around the world.
Mike was honored as Branson’s 2025 Comedian of the Year.
His television appearances include Fox’s 30 Seconds to Fame, The Game Show Network, America’s Got Talent, The Huckabee Show, and Penn & Teller: Fool Us.
