Gutenplan was introduced to magic by his grandfather, who was an amateur magician and a believer in the psychic. Both Michael's father and grandfather claim to have ESP and psychic intuition, which Gutenplan has embraced with his "third generation psychic" title as well as his tagline "Can He Unlock Your Psychic Potential?"
He has performed his one-man Off-Broadway show "Extraordinary Deceptions" in New York and California.[3][4][5] His show, "The Spy Magic Show"[6] was performed at the Ritz Carlton in Washington, D.C. The Members Only Show - an evening of magic and mind reading is currently performed at private clubs around the nation. He is considered the only magician and mentalist to work specifically in the world of private member only clubs.
Michael is a noted expert in palm reading and was the technical advisor for the Hulu series Shut Eye.
