Djibouti, Djibouti (2015) - No, that’s not a typo. Stephen Bargatze (my friend and fellow entertainer on this tour) and I flew in to Djibouti, Djibouti (city and country). Yep, the Djibouti in Africa. The crazy hot Djibouti in the middle of August. That’s the same Djibouti that is really comfortable at 5:30 in the morning when we landed and which scorched us at around 118 degrees by the afternoon.
What the heck was I doing in Djibouti, you ask? Take a guess. Yep, doing some shows. Woohoo! I get to go to the most interesting places. I don’t lack for adventures, that’s for sure!

I had too much fun visiting with my friends Christian and Katalina on today’s show. We chatted about how they developed their unique performing style, about why they enjoy performing shows on military bases, and how they have had such incredible success with their Mind Tripping Show decade-long residency at the Indianapolis Hilton. We even had a special guest pop in to the live-stream to provide a few additional laughs!

My Thule, Greenland Adventure – It’s 2:00 am and the plane I am sitting on is taxiing out to the runway to take off. Suddenly I hear a voice behind me firmly say, “Sir, sit down. Sir, you have to sit down!”
I’m often surprised by the stupid things that people do on airplanes, so I don’t think too much about it. It’s only a few minutes later when one of the flight attendants makes an announcement over the intercom that one of our fellow passengers has gotten ill and we have to return to the terminal so the flight attendants can sanitize the cabin.
This is what we look like at 2 a.m. after having to disembark the plane and wait.
“Really?” I think to myself. I had seen and heard a very rowdy group of passengers drinking and partying pretty hard in the bar right next to our gate earlier that night. As it turns out, the party was a little too intense for this one guy and he has now gotten sick all over himself and delayed our flight to Greenland. Oh fun!

On my 2018 European tour I made some memories that I’ll never forget. One of those was on a day that my team (Jessica Jane Peterson and Ben Young) and I had off in Portugal. We were asked if we had any interest in going on a wine tasting and we emphatically said, “YES!” I had never been on a wine tasting before and doing my first one in Portugal was an opportunity that I wasn’t going to miss!
This tasting was really special because we did the tasting in a special tasting room and then we were served an incredible Portuguese meal that had specific wines paired to the foods. The food was scrumptious and the wine exquisite…

Episode Five of Jason Michaels TV was, in my opinion, outstanding! I tried out a new video streaming software and really enjoyed using it. The technical execution on my side of things wasn’t perfect, but I think that episode five is the best so far from a production point of view.
Having one of my best friends, Stephen Bargatze, as my guest was special. We discuss all sorts of topics. We start talking about our travels together entertaining the men and women of the military deployed to overseas bases. After that, we chat a little bit about his style of comedy and magic and we watch a few of his performance clips. We also go into his personal story of triumph over tragedy and how his faith his influenced his life.

I had a blast visiting with Jessica Jane Peterson in Episode Four! Jessica and I went on several tours in 2018 to entertain the men, women, and families of the United States military. That gave us all sorts of stories to share! We even watched several video clips of her from performances in Italy and Germany. She is such a dynamic and fun performer to watch!
Next up, I share a video clip on the power of imagination and how it aids in resilience from my #DOTHEIMPOSSIBLE program. I really enjoyed hearing Jessica’s thoughts on how imagination has played a role in her success.
We wrapped things up with a video clip of interactive close-up magic that I performed in a wine cellar in Portugal. The card trick blows my spectators’ minds. That beautiful wine cellar still blows mine! BIG thanks to Jessica Jane for being part of Jason Michaels TV Episode Four!
