Jake Of Spades
Multi-city
Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create.
|
However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic.
Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY.
|
Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans."
|
This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic.

If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!
