KEYNOTE + MAGIC

One booking. Two ways to reach the room.

Your people hear the message on stage, then experience the impossible in their own hands.

Jason delivers the keynote, then brings world-class close-up magic to your reception, dinner, or VIP gathering. It's the easiest way to give an event a second moment people talk about.

HOW IT WORKS

Meet them the night before. Move them the next morning.

Many groups bring Jason in for a reception the night before the keynote. Others add magic after the program, or both. Jason builds the plan around your schedule.

  1. 01The night beforeClose-up magic at your welcome reception warms up the room. Guests meet Jason, talk about what they saw, and arrive the next morning excited for the keynote.
  2. 02The keynoteResilience or Your Work Matters, customized for your organization and delivered to the whole room.
  3. 03After the programAt the reception, dinner, or VIP gathering, Jason moves among your guests and the message keeps going in conversation.

WHY PLANNERS PAIR THEM

The keynote reaches the room. The magic reaches each person.

When Jason performs at the reception the night before, he isn't a stranger when he walks on stage. Half the room has already met him, and the other half has heard about it at breakfast. The keynote starts with an audience that's already on his side.

The magic happens inches away, often in your guests' own hands. It turns a speaker into someone they got to know.

It's the same sleight of hand Jason performed for Penn & Teller on Fool Us, and the craft that earned him membership in 4F, the invitation-only fraternity of the world's leading close-up artists.

QUESTIONS PLANNERS ASK

Before you book.

Is the magic part of the keynote?
Both keynotes include live magic on stage. Keynote + Magic adds close-up magic for your guests in small groups, most often at a reception the night before, so they meet Jason before he takes the stage.
Strolling or a dedicated table?
Either. Strolling works best at receptions where guests are mingling. A dedicated table suits dinners and VIP rooms where guests come to Jason.
Can the magic be just for our VIPs or sponsors?
Yes. Many planners use it to make a sponsor dinner or leadership reception feel exclusive.
What does it cost?
Fees depend on the keynote, the magic, the date, and the location. Share your event details below, and Jason's team will reply within 24 hours.
