Michael Gilliland
Magic With A Twist was started in the summer of 2001 in Augusta, Georgia. Founder, Michael Gilliland, is a seasoned performer who has been entertaining people of all ages since the age of 8. Michael wanted to not only perform magic but to help children to learn, so he decided to give magic a "twist". His twist has turned magic into an exciting learning tool.
Along with being a magician, Michael is also a motivational speaker who combines magic with enthusiasm to create a powerful presentation about the importance of learning and using the imagination. His riveting and enthusiastic presentations excite and inspire children to learn. Each year he finds himself entertaining not only Augusta but also the entire Southeast. Adults, corporate and civic groups will benefit with over 39 years of experience as Michael delivers a totally unique and entertaining blend of humor and magic that audiences will remember long after the performance is over.
Michael is also a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians. Michael is president of both local clubs at this time.
