storytelling Magic
By jonah knight
“…just the right amount of entertainment, combined with education, humor and magic tricks to keep the audience engaged…”

I am an award-winning writer and performer with a long history of performance based storytelling.
I perform story-based magic and mind reading throughout Massachusetts. I’ve driven from the Berkshires to the shore to deliver mysteries.
Magicians come in all varieties.
Some specialize in kids birthdays, card tricks, or stage illusions.
I specialize in integrating magic with story.
These programs start with research (beyond a quick Google) and grow into a crafted script with a performance that uses magical effects to enhance the story.
Some of these programs are funny, some are spooky, some are emotional, but all are magical.
