KEVIN JAMES
THE INVENTOR   

Kevin James became interested in the art of magic at a very early age. He remembers seeing his first magic performance and more importantly how it made him feel. He decided early on that performing magic for the world was going to be his life's calling. His style of performance is anything but conventional. His unique comedy and magic has gained him a reputation as a world-class visual artist. James’ fresh approach has allowed him to headline in some of the world's top theatres. He has performed in 110 countries to date.   

Some of his past performances include Broadway, the West End, the Crazy Horse in Paris, Royal performances for the Prince of Monaco, Prince of Bahrain, and the Sultan of Dubai. In Las Vegas he has headlined in nearly every major casino and a Command Performance for President Obama at the White House. He’s also one of the highest viewed magicians on YouTube with many millions of views. He has been featured in The Illusionists from its inception. 

James is a very prolific magical inventor and consultant. Not only is his show original but many of his ideas have made their way into the shows of other famous magicians like Doug Henning, Penn & Teller, Mark Wilson, and David Copperfield, as well as several films. He received a Creative Fellowship Award from The Academy of Magical Arts and Sciences in Hollywood in 2004 and is a multiple Stage and Parlour Magician of the Year.  

James is related to the legendary P.T. Barnum and in many ways, is like his famous ancestor. His art vision was to create the most unique show on the planet and make adults feel like a kid again. Best job ever! Instagram: @kevinjamestheinventor / www.kjmagic.com
