Overview

Hi, my name is Jin — known on stage as The Card Sage. A sleight-of-hand magician and former casino dealer for private parties, birthdays, corporate galas, weddings, and high-roller nights. My show is close-up magic performed at arm's length — shuffled, chosen and signed by the people watching. It fits a living room, a restaurant back room or a downtown office just as easily as a ballroom.

So amazing!!

Jin puts on an amazing show! I’ve been lucky enough to see him at a couple different parties, and he’s constantly leaving my jaw on the floor. Very nice, funny, and can do some baffling tricks.

Mind blowing close up magic!

Jin is really amazing. I have hired him for three years in a row to appear at my friend's halloween party, and every year he creates an amazing experience. His magic is always fresh and is guaranteed to make everyone's jaw drop. Truly a delightful experience every time.

What to expect

THREE WAYS MY SHOW CAN RUN:

Strolling Close Up: I move between groups performing short, self-contained pieces in your guests’ hands. Best for cocktail hours, receptions, and open house style parties where people arrive at different times

Seated Parlor Show: One show for the whole room, with everybody watching together. Best for dinners, birthdays, and events with a natural moment where everyone is seated down.

Mix: Strolling while guests arrive, then a seated set as the centerpiece of the evening.

WHAT I NEED:

Nothing technical. No stage, no lighting rig, no sound system for strolling sets.

A little light. Guests in the back row need to be able to see. Normal party lighting is fine.

A seat and table for parlor show.
