Jim's Shows...
Parlor
Parlor Magic is a show for a medium-sized room, suitable for audiences of 15 - 45 people. There's always lots of audience participation and the magic is a very personalized experience for the space and the particular event.
Close Up
In Close-Up Magic, the audience gets to be part of the magical journey as they witness the impossible happening at their dinner table, right in their own hands. Close-Up Magic is a truly unique and immersive experience, never to be forgotten.
Stage
Stage Magic is for larger audiences and involves grand illusions and mysteries that can be appreciated from any seat in the theater. Stage Magic is where you might see someone float in the air or get sawed in half!
