December 15, 2025Amazing magician for any event!
We truly can’t recommend Jerry more! We host free events for the over 55 community and he helped make our expo a tremendous success! Not only is he super talented with his close up magic (how does he do those tricks?!?), but he is also a wonderful personality and very entertaining. We greatly look forward to him providing magic and entertainment at our upcoming events!!

January 19, 2012Wonderful Entertainer!!!
I recently hired Jerry through this website for, a function in my community. He was absolutely wonderful. We had a group of about 70 plus and he was certainly well received. We are a group "55 and over" and his selection of tricks was right on the money!! I would not hesitate recommending him.
Thank You!

January 27, 2013Absolutely wonderful and very good w the kids
I have to say that I used Jerry twice and he gets there on time and ready to go. I appreciated his patience with all the kids scrambling over him to get a balloon animal and he had a smile on all the while. He made sure all 130 kids each got a balloon animal. And his show contained the kids and I was amazed to see 130 kids (who were just running around and full of sugar) sitting and watching attentively. Loved it. I don't write reviews but I felt I had to for Jerry, he stayed an extra 30 min entertaining and didn't ask for more $. A gem. Worth every dollar.

November 13, 2012An icredible Artist!! With so may talents!!!
Paula is amazing!! I hired her to do a caricature picture of my family for this year and was expecting to drop off my pictures and ideas - and quite honestly go about my busy day ( I am a working mom with two children and my life is incredibly busy as i am sure you can relate!!) Anyway Paula was there with all of her paints, pencils and much more and I could not resist just to stay for a precious minute. The meeting began and I gave her my ideas- my family with my husband being Santa Clause and me and my two children being elves with a Christmas Tree and some elves. AFTER TWO HOURS I WAS STILL WITH PAULA AND CAPTIVATED BY HER WORK!! She made my idea into a work of art with adding things my family loves to do (a football in my husbands hands, my oldest catching it and my youngest playing Angry Birds- she also included a snowman and multiple reindeer) In my opinion the picture is priceless!! You can still drop off or send your photos; however, spending time with Paula is worth every precious second we have!!! I then hired her to do another caricature- themed Alice in Wonderland for my mom and it is amazing as well!! Her work is amazing, she spends time getting to know her clients and she is an incredible artist!!

About
Jerry Darkey performs throughout Florida, from the Everglade Country Club in Palm Beach, to special events at Amelia Island, to the Bay Hill Country Club right here in Orlando.
Where it all started...
Magic by Jerry / Magician
As a boy my father would take me to Colon, Michigan. The Magic Capital of the World. "Where we would attend the Abbott's Magic get together. The two of us would spend the days sharing the love and art of illusion.
My father bought me my first magic trick "The Coin Case" it's a vanishing and reappearing coin. I share my fathers enthusiasm for the history and entertainment of magic. From that one trick I went on to learn and incorporate magic into a talent to perform for others. I have learned many fascinating magic effects and stage illusions, but I still hold a special place in my heart for the coin case....for it reminds me of my father and the good times we shared and spent at the town named Colon Michigan.

Jerry and Paula, I wanted to thank you both for the wonderful job you did at our Copesan National Conference in Orlando, FL Dessert Banquet. You both were a huge hit and people had a great time at the event as a direct result of both of your awe inspiring magic and extremely creative drawings. I really loved how you both were able to work in our conference theme into your drawings and magic act. I would recommend you to any group doing any event in Orlando because you made our event a complete success. Thank you both again.
