October 10, 2022Absolutely book this magician!
James performed for 90 minutes during the cocktail hour of my wedding. He focused on close up magic. James blew everyone away! His tricks were so good and he was very personable and professional. All my guests kept coming up to me saying they LOVED James the Magician.

I hired James the Magician for my wife’s 40th birthday. He did both strolling magic and a stage show. He was very personable and engaging with everyone at the party and everyone loved the experience. I highly recommend.

Thank you so much! It was great to do a socially distant magic show for your group!

July 29, 2019Best Decision!
James was an amazing addition to our annual company picnic. He was hilarious and his tricks dropped several jaws to the floor. We received so much positive feedback on his presence. Thank you, James!

What to expect
Since 1986, James Ember has been creating and performing magic.
He has performed his award winning, interactive, comedy magic show throughout the world.
Performing magic with a wild passion, James won his first talent show at the age of 6, his exceptional magical talent has been showcased at school programs, during weddings, at corporate events, on stages, on the street, and everywhere in between.
There’s one thing that drives every single one of his performances – he knows joy is contagious. It’s passed from the performer to the audience, then from audience members to each other and, by the end of the show, everyone is laughing, amazed, and having fun.
Additional booking notes
For Strolling magic I do not have any technical requirements.
For stage magic I will need a performance space that is at a minimum of 8' x 8'.

Influences and inspiration
While growing up my two main professional influences were David Copperfield and Penn & Teller.
My mentors included magicians in the Northern Illinois area and my instructors in school. I had many teachers who helped me pursue magic including my 6th grade principal who taught me how to cut a deck of cards with one hand while waiting for my buss.
