The 24-year-old UNLV hospitality major is scheduled to premiere his new show, Ilusión Mental (Spanish for “mental illusion”), at Planet Hollywood in the spring. In the meantime, Michel has launched a slate of preview shows at Sin City Theatre (current home of the enduring Crazy Girls revue). But the reason Ilusión Mental is a game-changer is simple and long overdue.
