Services
Strolling Magic & Mentalism
Jacob goes from group to group while your guests mingle, so the magic is intimate and interactive, happening right in their own hands. He might reveal the name of a guest's childhood best friend, then have the card they signed appear under their watch.
It's the easiest icebreaker you can book and a great way to warm up a crowd, a natural fit for cocktail hours, receptions, holiday parties, networking events, and weddings.
Stage Show
Jacob specializes in mind reading built on the people in the room. In the stage show he might name a guest's brother and the day he was born, or the PIN code someone is only thinking of, and dozens of people end up part of the show. Audiences today have watched so much magic and mentalism on social media that Jacob builds every show around what they can't find in a feed, moments about their own lives and thoughts, said out loud in front of everyone they came with. Since all of it comes from whoever is in the room that night, your guests get an experience that has never been performed before and never will be again.
Jacob will work with you to create a completely customized show that fits your room and your timeslot, whether it's a high-end living room party with no stage or a theater for thousands. It's a perfect fit for galas, awards nights, conferences, company parties, and dinners where guests are seated and ready to watch.
“I've done magic show live shots, and I'm usually able to figure it out. This is the first time I have no idea.”
The easiest icebreaker you can book.
Cocktail hour is the slot strolling magic was made for. Guests are on their feet with a drink and nothing is scheduled yet, so Jacob goes from group to group and the magic is intimate and interactive, happening right in their own hands. The card a guest signed might appear under their watch. Good cocktail hour entertainment gives guests their own moment and a story to carry into dinner.
It works the same way at a wedding, while the couple is away for photos, as it does before the program at corporate events. When dinner is served, Jacob wraps up and lets guests eat. If you want the whole room together later, the full show fits after the meal once everyone is seated, and many events book both, with strolling for the first hour and the show after dinner.
