Hi ,

I am still in shock and disbelief that I have been named "The Magician of the Year" by the Parent Assembly of the Society of American Magicians.

I wanted to share with you the details about the upcoming show and award ceremony (on Saturday, May 4th) which promises to be an unforgettable evening of enchantment and wonder (where I will likely be thoroughly embarrassed).

115th Annual SALUTE TO MAGIC Show
(a one-night only “extravaganza” of magic)

Featuring: award-winning conjurors:

Chris Capehart, Joe Monti, Avner The Eccentric, Eric Q, and John Bundy and Morgan.

These internationally acclaimed magicians, renowned for their captivating performances in the world's most prestigious magic venues, will take the stage on May 4th at 6:30 PM for the 115th annual Salute to Magic show, presented by the Parent Assembly of the Society of American Magicians.

Hosted by Chris Capehart (known for fooling Penn & Teller twice on their hit TV show “Fool Us”), the lineup includes Joe Monti, whose unique blend of comedy and magic guarantees a hilarious and mind-bending experience. Avner The Eccentric, undeniably one of the best performers in the world (you might remember him as “The Jewel” in the hit 1985 Michael Douglas movie, “The Jewel of the Nile.”), will also grace the stage.

Joining them are Eric Q, showcasing his mesmerizing magic, and the renowned illusionists John Bundy and Morgan.

A Personal Note from Michael Chaut
Founding-Producer, Monday Night Magic

Hi All,

About four months ago, I received a phone call from the Parent Assembly of the Society of American Magicians here in New York. It turns out I was nominated for the 2024 Magician of The Year award. Not only that, after tallying all the votes, I have been selected as their "Magician of the Year."

Quite frankly, I'm still finding it hard to believe, however, it looks like this is really happening.

The Salute to Magic has awarded the prestigious "Magician of The Year Award" to some of the world's most renowned magicians, such as Slydini, John Scarne, Richiardi, David Copperfield, Harry Blackstone Jr., Harry Lorayne, George Schindler, Imam, Eric DeCamps, The Great Tomsoni & Co., Devlin, John Calvert, and Dick Brooks and Dorothy Dietrich. I am deeply honored to be counted among these remarkable individuals.

When I first started Monday Night Magic back in June 1997, I never imagined the incredible journey that I would be undertaking.

Over the last 26 years, it's been an amazing ride filled with a lot of hard work. Along the way, I've made many new friends.

None of our accomplishments would have been possible without the skills, talents, advice, and brilliant magic minds of Peter Samelson, Todd Robbins, Jamy Ian Swiss, and the late legendary, Frank Brents.

I share this award with all of them, along with every incredibly talented artist who has contributed their skills at our shows, not to mention those who have supported us since show number 1. Special mention goes to Howard Hamburg and Ken Weber who have recently joined our production staff. This award is shared with each and every one of you.

Thank you all for your support and for sharing this incredible journey with me.

Sincerely yours,

MICHAEL CHAUT
Founding-Producer, Monday Night Magic
