Morgan Strebler

Morgan's entree into the World of Illusion began as a child when his parents gave him a magic set for his birthday. Instantly bitten by the "magic bug", Morgan began performing for family and friends.

By his early teens, he was a local celebrity, performing close-up and stage magic for birthday parties, corporate events and church functions. Before achieving success, Strebler worked odd jobs ranging from a magician pitchman at Houdini's magic shop to working security at nightclubs in Las Vegas.

Strebler developed a professional persona around his signature "Liquid Metal"[3] routine in order to distinguish himself from other magicians. In 2003, he was asked to perform at Neverland Ranch for Joe Jackson's birthday party.[4] Later, he performed two nights a week at V bar inside The Venetian and then five nights a week at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino inside the Caramel lounge. His regular performances later led to a comedy show at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino called Beachers Madhouse.[5]

On March 7, 2016, the mayor of Sikeston, Missouri read a proclamation observing it as Morgan Strebler Day.[6]

On January 8, 2007, Strebler issued a press release publicly challenging Criss Angel to "Live Close up, Live Stage Illusions", to be judged by a live audience, and to an endurance contest of Chinese water torture. Angel did not respond to the challenge and several months later a cover article in Street Magic Magazine described Strebler as "the man Criss Angel fears".[7] In 2011, Strebler publicly apologized to Angel on the Itricks podcast resulting in Angel and Strebler reconciling.

Warner Brothers/DC Comics has given Morgan Strebler approval on January 5, 2014 to officially use "The Man Who Bends Steel" as his name/tag line. Just to clarify, so there absolutely no confusion. Morgan is not affiliated with Warner Brothers or DC Comics in any way, or their brand. He also not affiliated with any of their characters.[8]
