SIKESTON, Mo. - TelAve -- Vegas Headliner Loses Ability to Perform After Nerve Failure — Plans Global Comeback Following Mayo Clinic Surgery

Born and Raised in Sikeston, Missouri, Psychological Illusionist Morgan Strebler Prepares 60-Country World Tour After Career-Ending Diagnosis

SIKESTON, MO — Morgan Strebler, a psychological illusionist, actor, director, producer, and writer who headlined in Las Vegas for more than a decade at Bellagio, Caesars Palace, and Hard Rock, is preparing a return to the stage after a devastating nerve disorder abruptly ended his performing career.

Two years ago, Strebler was diagnosed with severe ulnar neuropathy with progressing nerve damage and advanced Stage 3 muscle atrophy, resulting in major loss of dexterity and fine motor control in his hands.

"I went from performing nightly to being told I may never perform again," Strebler said. "Magic isn't just what I do. It's who I am."

After multiple surgeons indicated the complexity of the case was beyond their scope, Strebler traveled to Mayo Clinic, where he underwent major reconstructive nerve surgery earlier this year. Recovery is long and uncertain, requiring months of rehabilitation as nerves slowly regenerate.

Against those odds, Strebler is now planning a full-scale return.

Beginning Fall 2026–2027, he will launch a 60-country world tour built around a new theatrical mentalism production titled Between Life and Death.

The show unfolds in two acts.

Life is an immersive, audience-driven mentalism experience where spectators' thoughts, choices, and personal memories directly shape outcomes in real time, exploring the fragile, unpredictable nature of being alive.

Death is a controlled dramatic experiment where, under medical supervision, Strebler medically flatlines on stage every night — no pulse, cool to the touch, skin temperature dropping, and a blue tint beginning to appear — all verified by audience volunteers, before being revived with a defibrillator as part of the narrative.

"The show exists because I stood at the edge of losing everything," Strebler said. "It's about what it means to lose your identity, fight to get it back, and choose to live anyway."

Strebler, who was born and raised in Sikeston, Missouri, has appeared on numerous television specials and international productions and is widely recognized for his large-scale psychological illusions and metal-bending work.

While his recovery continues, Strebler says the comeback is not about returning to what was — but about creating something deeper.

"I didn't survive this to go back to the old version of myself," he said. "I survived to build something more honest."

Additional tour announcements, media appearances, and behind-the-scenes documentary projects are currently in development.
