Thank you for visiting MattTheKnife.com.  Here you'll find the most up-to-date news and information regarding the one and only purveyor of artful dodges, practiced deceptions, and masterful conjurations, MTK!

"Two thumbs way up!"

             -Jason Leader,
  Southeastern Louisiana University
       APCA Advisor of the Year


"He's no stranger to danger!"

        -The Discovery Channel


"Matt The Knife stands out as unique, off beat, and sometimes totally bizarre... dynamic and wonderfully refreshing... he can mesmerize an audience for hours!"

                    -Tim O'Brien,
                   Vice President,
            "Ripley's Believe It Or Not!"


"...deceptive, manipulative, intelligent, and charismatic.  He (MTK) proclaimed that he certainly possessed most of these qualities and proved this in his presentation of rapid-fire facts with a twist of humor that engrossed the audience for a half-hour over the scheduled time."

                                      -The Times


"In my long career as record adjudicator, I have never met anyone so determined to go beyond his limits."

                         -Marco Frigatti, Head of Records
                                     Guinness World Records


"For my money, it's his lectures on artful dodging, conning and grifting that are the most worthwhile. Fans of Ricky Jay's funny-carnie one-man shows will recognize something in the Knife's lit-witty raconteur, as he uses a silver tongue as sharp as the blades he swallows to discuss the manipulation of cards and minds alike."

                                         -A.D. Amorosi,
                                        Philadelphia City Paper


"The Creative and entertaining performances he engages are simply another form of art!"

                                                PLAY Magazine


"If you are lucky enough to participate in one of his acts, he makes YOU feel like the star!"

                                      -Wendy Morrison
                         Secretary, Student Programming Board
                        Cal State University, Channel Islands


"He drew one of the biggest crowds we have ever had!  The magic he performed was amazing and kept us all at the edge of our seats while his quick wit kept us falling out of them with laughter!   Since the show, I have been approached by numerous students asking that Matt return to our campus.  He brought so much fun and excitement, I don't see how I can't bring him back!"

                                         -Bethany White,
                                   Student Activities Director
                      Chattanooga State Technical Community College


"Audience participation played a big role in each and every one of his acts.  And since I wasn't one of the many audience members he picked throughout the night, I thought it was a great addition to the show!"

                                      -Derek Rose,
                                           Editor,
                                   Sideshow Central


"It's everything at once.  This is amazing stuff!"

"4 out of 4!... we're getting goosebumps just typing this up."

                       -Dorothy Robinson & HaLeigh Boutin,
                                  The "Metro" Paper


"Dear Matt:
A researcher has considered your proposal further, but has said that we have been advised that it is not medically sound for others to perform such a feat and that it is simply too dangerous. Therefore, we can not consider your latest record category despite your ability to do it."

                                       -Ann Collins,

                                       Guinness World Records


"I love your style!"

                                    -David Coleman,
              The lecturer that the film "Hitch" was based upon


"This was weird stuff... but veeeeeerrrrrryyyy interesting!  In fact it's a new experience in Germany because we do not have many, if any, shows like it!"

                                      -Alex Roemer,
                                             Zauberkabinett


"I was on the edge of my seat!  The show was great."

                                    -Marshall Freeman
                             Student Activities Coordinator
                    Johnson & Wales University (N. Miami Campus)


"By explaining the true nature of life for people like those depicted, as well as the less apparent aspects of their occupation, you provided an entertaining and extremely useful element to the afternoon."

                                       -Craig Watson,
                                     Trinity Repertory Company
