Michael Turco has been with the Masters of Illusion tour for several years now and has appeared multiple times on the award winning TV series Masters of Illusion on The CW Network.

He has performed in many of his own original shows, combining illusion with rock and roll music, in New York City, Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Las Vegas, Nevada.

He has appeared multiple times on The CW's hit televison show Masters of Illusion," and was recently featured in the Bally's Las Vegas hit live show, Masters of Illusion.
