Jon Armstrong has spent most of his life charming audiences with his quick wit and a deck of cards, and the material in this thrilling new download series is plucked straight from his working repertoire. Say goodbye to dull card tricks and hello to magic that actually entertains!
Having performed for some of the most prestigious audiences in over 30 countries, Jon's journey began in Orlando, Florida. Captivated by the magic in the theme parks, he dreamt of having his own show. That dream became a reality when Disney invited him to perform at Epcot, making him the resident magician at Walt Disney World by the age of 20. Las Vegas beckoned next, where he became a regular headliner at Caesar's Magical Empire. It was during this time that he started touring the globe as both a performer and lecturer.
Now based in Los Angeles, Jon frequently graces the stage at the world-famous Magic Castle. His TV credits include A&E's Magic Castle After Dark and USA's Ready For The Weekend, alongside consulting gigs for shows like CSI:NY, Las Vegas, and The Wizards of Waverly Place. Currently, he’s lending his expertise to the hit CBS show The Mentalist. In the magic community, Jon's work has been featured in MAGIC, The Linking Ring, and M-U-M, even gracing the cover of the December 2004 Genii in an issue dedicated to him. In April 2007, after two years of nominations, he was crowned Close-Up Magician of the Year by the Academy of Magical Arts.
