What I do

Magic for every kind of room.

Every show is built around your event: who’s coming, what the room is like, and how you want people to feel when they leave.

Close-up magic

I roam your event and perform miracles inches from your guests: in their hands, at their tables, during cocktail hour.

Best for: mingling, receptions, cocktail hours

Stage show

An interactive, genuinely funny feature performance that pulls your guests into the act. It works for 5 guests or 500.

Best for: galas, company events, after-dinner

Weddings

Close-up magic for small groups, a feature performance for the whole room, or both. It fills the gaps and gets guests talking to each other.

Best for: cocktail hour, reception entertainment

Bar & Bat Mitzvahs

A magical twist on a milestone. Roaming close-up magic, a stage performance, or both, pitched for all ages in the room.

Best for: receptions, family celebrations

Children’s parties

Kids connect with a young, high-energy performer. I turn a birthday into the party they talk about all year.

Best for: birthdays, school & community events

Something else?

A party for any reason, in any season. Tell me what you’re planning and I’ll put together a custom magical experience for it.

Best for: anything worth celebrating

About Jack

A young magician already making a big mark.

I’m an award-winning Vancouver magician. I’ve performed in local theatres, on TV and at national fundraising events, and I’m a regular performer at the sold-out Parlour Magic Show.

I was selected for the Junior Society of the Academy of Magical Arts in Los Angeles, the home of the Magic Castle. I’ve been mentored by some of North America’s top magicians and trained with masters like Asi Wind, Michael Ammar, Armando Lucero, Joshua Jay, David Regal and more.

What I care about most is how the magic feels. The best tricks aren’t puzzles. They’re moments your guests are part of and remember.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Don’t see yours? Just ask. I’m happy to help.

Where do you perform?

Across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. If your event is further out, get in touch and we’ll work it out.

What’s the difference between close-up and a stage show?

Close-up magic happens right in front of small groups while guests mingle. It’s perfect for cocktail hours and receptions. A stage show is a feature performance for the whole room at once. Lots of events book both.

How big an audience can you handle?

Anywhere from 5 guests to 500. The show is tailored to the size of the room, whether it’s a living-room birthday or a full ballroom.

Is the show family-friendly?

Yes. The magic works for every age in the room, from kids’ birthday parties to corporate galas, and I adjust the material to fit your crowd.

How far ahead should I book?

Whenever works for you! Booking early gives you the best chance at your date, especially for weekends and the holidays, but last-minute is no problem at all. Same-day bookings are totally fine too. Just send me a message.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the format, length and location of your event. Send the details through the form and I’ll reply with a personalized quote.
