Incredible night out, great talent and not to be missed.

I went to his show yesterday for a friend's birthday. I must say I was "surprised"! He set the expectation low at the beginning, but he amazed me with every act onward. I was shocked that he could read people minds and give you what you need to hear for your psychic question.

VERY enjoyable!

The door to the vault has been sealed. 

Thanks to everyone who came out to help me contact the ghosts of Ivy Hill Cemetery this year. "Raising Spirits" in an actual cemetery crypt was a truly memorable experience for everyone. A huge thank you to Lucy Goddin for making the cemetery a place to be visited and enjoyed by the living.

Hope to see you again next October when we will open the crypt once again to see what may be waiting for us inside.

Those who are living
    come this day
Down the graveyard path,
    lanterns light the way
Into the underground crypt
    carved in clay
We're raising the spirit
    of a ghost named Kay

The door to the underworld is open and awaiting your arrival.

Only 4 performances remain. Grab your tickets before its too late!

Thank you Christine Z for taking the time to write such an awesome review of the show. Our first attempt to contact the spirit world was a wild ride.

Only more 5 performances of this special limited run show. Come join us! 

The leaves are starting to change colors, days are getting shorter, there is a crisp charge in the air and the veil that separates the living world and the spirit world grows thin. Halloween is my favorite time of year.

I've been a collector of haunted artifacts for decades and a student of Spiritualism movement which was wildly popular from the 1840s to 1920s that believes that spirits of the dead can communicate with the living through a seance.

I've often wondered what might happen if I actually tried contacting the spirit world myself, but I would need a small group of people to join me to make it work. And, of course, holding the seance in a graveyard after dark would make it even better. 

Come join me, this October, after dark, in the underground burial vault at Ivy Hill Cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia (pictured above) for my new show, "Raising Spirits in the Crypt". I'm not exactly sure what may happen when we attempt to contact the spirit world, but I can promise you that it will be a spooky good time!

We all love a good ghost stories -- this is your chance to be part of one!

Tickets are on sale now!  I will only be performing 6 shows this year and seating in the crypt is very limited, so be sure to reserve your seats now.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Ivy Hill Cemetery Historial Preservation Society.

I have such a great time meeting the people who come to the show. I warn audiences that the show is really all about them, and ultimately only as interesting as they make it. I have to say, DC audiences come through and help create really fun and amazing evenings. They keep me very entertained and feeling very grateful.

As always, THANK YOU to everyone who takes the time to write an online review. I truly appreciate the kind words.

My mind was blown by this guy. He is a gifted psychic...was so much more than I had anticipated. I want to take every skeptic I know to see him. And in addition to his amazing gift, he is entertaining and feel-good. My friends and I laughed, cried, and were left in awe. This will not be the last time I see his show.

This really did blow my mind! Michael got EVERYTHING right!!! It was so interesting. He was so entertaining and fun! This was an interactive show and Michael was very nice to volunteers too. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for a fun night out.

How'd he do that? Loved the show, very entertaining and cute, intimate venue. So glad we went and highly recommend. Kim M. from Springfield, VA on 8/22/2019 via Yelp

I am hugely grateful when people take the time to write a nice review and help spread the word about the Psychic Cabaret. Here's what people are saying:

My partner and I attended the August 4th show at the Beacon Hotel and it was a great show! It was her first time at anything like this and she couldn’t stop talking about the show after it concluded. I was also amazed at having my future question selected and answered. Definitely was something starting weigh heavily on me and Michael confirming what I was originally thinking just made me feel sooooo much better! In all, we both had a blast. The show was great and extremely entertaining! I would definitely recommend to anyone!!

The show was truly awesome! I was beyond impressed with Michael's ability! Simply amazing! I will absolutely go to his show again!
Valerie B on 6/17/2019 via Goldstar

We just saw Michael's show. Lots of fun and entertaining!!! Everyone present left very pleased and wondering how he does it, including myself. Amazing!! We loved it!

I'm so happy that somebody in the lighting booth managed to take a picture of the audience getting seated at my show at the Tawas Bay Playhouse.

I walked out on stage at the start of the show only to see two gentlemen in the third row with thier heads wrapped in tin foil! They were hoping that thier tin foil hats would prevent me from hacking into thier heads during the show. I love these guys!

Of course, I HAD to call on them first. I can now confidently report that wearing a tin foil hat to my show will NOT prevent Michael Jons from reading your thoughts. 

I'm reallly thrilled to be returning to the Tawas Bay Playhouse in East Tawas this July with my fun and amazing new show "Michael Jons LIVE - More than Mind Games!"

The benefit performances on Friday, July 26 and Saturday, July 27 celebrate the 40th Anniversary season of the Tawas Bay Players and supports their work in creating and promoting the arts in the community.

This is the third year the I will performing at the Tawas Bay Playhouse. I grew up spending all my summers in Tawas. As a kid, I used to perform shows for neighbors on the beach with the seawall as my stage. I love that I can keep that tradition alive all these years later and support the Tawas Bay Players!

This years show features all new, never before seen feats of amazement. I challenge myself to come up with an entirely new show for Tawas audiences every year. This year is no exception. I have to admit that it's a bit scary, but also exciting, to try out new material in front of audiences for the first time. You never know what's going to happen! This year's show is inspired by the games that my family played during our summers on the beach. 

Come see what audiences have described as, "A mind-bending, gasp-inducing bucket of fun!" The show is intended for adults but appropriate for audiences of all ages.

Tickets for the 7:00PM performances on Friday, July 26 and Saturday, July 27, 2019 are available online at MichaelJons.com and at the Tawas Bay Playhouse box office.

If gathering in an underground cemetery vault after dark one night this October sounds like your kind of fun, do I have a show for you!  "Raising Spirits in the Crypt" will premiere October, 2019 at Ivey Hill Cemetery, in Alexandria, VA.

My artform has roots in the work of 19th century spirit mediums who held seances in the hope of contacting the spirit world. I've been a collector of haunted artifacts and antique spirit seance apparatus for many years, but only recently have I considered actually trying them out. For real.

Ivey Hill Cemetery in Alexandria has kindly granted us permission to use their underground vault. I'm not exactly sure what will happen when we attempt to contact the spirit world this October around All Hallows Eve when the veil between worlds is thinnest, but I can assure you that it will be a spooky good time. 

We all love a good ghost story. This is your chance to be part of one!
