Fun, funny and lots of great magic! We hired Jesse for my sister’s small bachelorette party. Jesse was accommodating, transparent and wonderful entertainment for our party! We truly had a great time — thanks for bringing magic to my sister’s Harry Potter themed bachelorette!

June 11, 2026Excellent Crowd Entertainment
Jesse was professional and had a flare with wizard like tricks for all ages. His engagement with the crowd was exceptional and the interactions were memorable. We are still talking about some of his mind benders. :) If I could rate higher than 5 stars, i would! Great communication with the organizer and was just a delight for the event.

About
Hi, I'm Jesse James. I'm a entertainer from IL and I specialize in close-up and stage for medium to large groups performing my comedy magic and mentalism (the magic of the mind/mindreading etc)
My stress is always on being fun and making sure my clients are fully satisfied. I have yet to get any negative reviews.
I'm a punctual, down to earth and easy to work with individual that can't wait to put together a good package for your next event.
Additional booking notes
Lighting- This is not a must, but dim, atmospheric lighting will, of course, make for a better and more intimate show. But it is not a must. After all, I've done shows in people's living rooms before.
Staging- Again, not a must. If there is a stage, I will use it, but it doesn't need to be very high up off the ground. A simple 1 foot step would do fine. This is dependent on the head count. Obviously a thousand people will need to be able to see me by having a larger stage.
Sound- I need a PA system that I can hook up a lapel/handsfree microphone to. And I would arrive early to do a sound check.

Set list
I tend to tailor fit my show to my clients needs. My standard stage show has everything from psychological tests and challenges with the audience, to demonstrating why I'm not allowed in casinos, to bending metal with my mind, to straight mind reading, to predictions and premonitions to clairvoyance and psychic phenomenon to palm readings after the show to anyone interested.
It's a clear cut 'more bang for the buck' type show with plenty of humor to break the tension.
But don't just take my word for it. Check out my reviews, or visit my website jessesmind . com for more testimonials.
Setup requirements
small table/night stand to set my props down on, that will be easy to get to on stage. I can provide my own as well.
