Jake Dapper - Close Up Magician

I will walk around your venue performing sleight of hand illusions for small groups typically ranging from one to fifteen people at a time. I'll mingle with your guests, and then bend their minds with cards, coins, sugar packets, rubber bands, and whatever else happens to be laying around! If you've seen magicians like David Blaine on TV, you know the kind of impact that one-on-one in-your-face magic can have!

I also do stand up magic on the stage. I can perform sets anywhere from ten minutes to an hour, themed however you like. Want me to advertise your service or product? Great! Want a comedy show? You got it. Want a motivational message? Boom and done.

Wedding or special occasion? At your request, I can perform custom-tailored illusions for the stars of the party. Imagine having your party gifts or wedding bands magically produced from a real fireball!

Close-up magic is the perfect way to make your next corporate event or private party unforgettable. Contact me today!

My name is Jake. I've had a passion for magic since I was a child, but I really started developing my sleight of hand skills at age 11.

At 16 years old I released a DVD with some of my original effects using business cards. These illusions caused quite a stir in the magic community, and are still used by world champion magicians every day. Seven years later, I'm now working to reboot the DVD with the help of a renowned award-winning magician from the UK.

The DVD reboot is just the beginning. Using technology like smartphones, wireless receivers, and 3D printing I'm bringing magic into the 21st century. My magic has been underground to magicians and laypeople alike for the past six years. Now, I'm ready to turn the world on its head.

I'm excited to debut my original illusions at your next event! Please check out my website for more information, and some of my "street magic" videos.

For strolling magic there are no technical requirements. I just need the following information in advance:
number of attendees, size & type of venue (sitting or standing), list of important guests, type of lighting, how quiet/loud the venue will be, preferred style of dress, will alcohol be served, list of giveaway or special items found on tables or around the venue, any special requests.

For a stand up set, I can work in any venue. I will supply audio and projection systems if needed and unavailable. I just need to be informed of the following:
number of attendees, size & type of stage, available audio system, available projection system, time for the set, purpose of the set, any special requests.
