Handpicked by the Presidential Inaugural Committee for the 43rd Presidential Inauguration, he performed his world-class magic in Washington, DC. He received Magician of the Year, “The Louie Award,” in 2002, for his contribution to the World of Magic as a performer, author and mentor. Michael has been a magic consultant for Doug Henning, Siegfried & Roy, Lance Burton and David Copperfield. David calls Michael “The Magicians Magician” – and wrote the introduction to his bestselling magic book “The Magic of Michael Ammar,” now in it’s 16th reprint. Michael appeared as resident magic expert on CNN Headline News.
