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.

Pasadena

Old Pasadena, new material.

Pasadena does formal well. The calendar fills with benefit galas for museums and hospitals, garden weddings along the Arroyo, and anniversary dinners in Craftsman homes that have hosted the family for decades. A Pasadena magician has to match that tone, and Jacob does it with mind reading built on the people in the room, customized to your setting and your timeslot.

The usual plan for a gala is strolling magic through the cocktail reception and the full show after dinner, once guests are seated and ready to watch. Jacob might name a guest's brother and the day he was born, said out loud in front of a ballroom. At a wedding, cocktail hour is the natural spot. Either way, your guests get an experience that has never been performed before and never will be again.
