CLOSE-UP CARD MAGIC

Impossible happens inches away.

A smart, funny, up-close show that turns your living room, party, or gathering into the story everyone retells.

The experience

No stage. No distance. No idea how he did it.

Jim brings sleight-of-hand card magic, storytelling, and easygoing humor straight to your guests.

Choose a focused table show for a small group, or let the magic move through a larger event. Either way, the experience is personal, participatory, and built around the people in the room.

Why close-up

“There are a lot of wonderful ways to entertain. Mine comes down to one simple thing: 100% pure sleight of hand. No mentalism. No ropes, no coins, no Rubik’s cubes. No gimmicks, and no equipment to set up prior to show. Just a deck of cards, skilled hands, and the magic happening inches away from you. That kind of pure card work is almost impossible to find—and that’s what makes Jimpossible different.”

The close-up table show

Jim performs for everyone at once, creating an intimate show full of impossible moments, laughter, and storytelling. Seamless transitions carry one trick into the next, so it feels like one flowing experience—not a string of disconnected tricks. Because Jim doesn’t need to hide things up his sleeves or in his jacket pockets, he arrives in casual attire — unless a request is made otherwise. A natural fit for birthday and family parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, pool parties, holiday gatherings, Airbnb guests, or a casual night in with friends.

60–75 minutes About 12–15 guests around a table

Walk-around magic

At a larger gathering, Jim moves from group to group with quick, high-impact card magic. It keeps the energy moving and gives each cluster of guests their own astonishing experience. For corporate walk-around events, he dresses more formally. Walk-around magic is one hour unless other arrangements have been made in advance.

$250 per hour Longer by advance arrangement Corporate & private events

What guests say

Still trying to figure it out.

The cards are only half the story. Jim’s warmth, humor, and crowd connection are what guests remember.

“

Jim is the kind of magician who makes you question reality in the best way possible. Think sleight-of-hand wizard meets Phil Dunphy energy—hilarious, charismatic, and impossible not to love. Every trick had us completely stunned, but honestly, his storytelling and crowd engagement were just as impressive as the magic itself.

Good to know

Before the cards come out.

Can guests be drinking?

“I don’t care if your guests are drinking or not. In fact, if they are, the magic gets even better.” — Jim
