Having performed for some of the most elite crowds in over 30 countries, Jon’s journey began in the magic-infused atmosphere of Orlando, Florida. Inspired by the enchanting performances at local theme parks, he aspired to create his own show. That dream took flight when Disney invited him to perform at Epcot, making him the resident magician at Walt Disney World at just 20 years old. From there, he made waves as a headliner at Caesar's Magical Empire in Las Vegas, while also hitting the road as both a performer and lecturer.
Now based in Los Angeles, Jon frequently graces the stage at the legendary Magic Castle. He's no stranger to the small screen, with appearances on A&E's Magic Castle After Dark and USA's Ready For The Weekend. He’s also lent his expertise as a consultant for shows like CSI:NY, Las Vegas, and The Wizards of Waverly Place, currently serving as a magic advisor for CBS's The Mentalist. Within the magic community, Jon has been featured in MAGIC, The Linking Ring, and M-U-M, and even graced the cover of Genii's December 2004 issue dedicated to his magic. In April 2007, after two years of nominations, he earned the title of Close-Up Magician of the Year from the Academy of Magical Arts.
