Jack's the best! He knows how to command the crowd and remember everybody's names which was almost as impressive as or maybe even more impressive than his card tricks. He did a bunch of other stuff that blew my wig off like making an egg disappear and to a piece of a cock cocktail napkin and lit it on fire and it turned into a silver dollar! read more

Our software business has leveraged Jack (virtual and F2F magic) for company parties, trade shows, big c level customer meetings/entertainment etc. His 6'5 personality is magnetic and always plays well for our brand and brings smiles (and follow on dollars) - I can connect every engagement to closed revenue, I always say "he can make the clients budget disappear" --clients often ask for us to bring him back, he can work a room like no one I have ever seen. The man is a legend. read more

Jack was amazing and he had such skill and finesse and keep all 6 of us entertained for an hour! Non-stop-we can't wait to hire him for our next private party, thanks Jack for making our afternoon amazing! read more

Jack was performing at a restaurant we were eating at and did some really impressive slight of hand and card tricks. Everyone enjoyed his performance and I am planning to hire him for a show soon. Bravo! read more

Jack is the MOST incredible, remarkable, charming, and exciting magician I have ever, ever seen and this is after living in Vegas for many years! My family has seen Jack perform multiple times and STILL we are in awe of his performance and talents. He is amazing with kids, works quickly on his feet, brings the audience into his show with ease. His tricks are absolutely brilliant! He makes magic real! His tricks leave you stunned and feeling epic joy. He even visited my sick dad in memory care out of the kindness of his own heart. That to me, was the most magical and magnificent thing ever. Jack is the honestly the best. I would hire him for every social event if I could!!! read more

We hired Jack for a magic show to celebrate Grandparents Day at our senior living community. To begin, he was extremely unprofessional and abrasive when informed of our mask policy. He refused to discuss the topic and threatened to leave right before the show started. If I had any other alternative, I would have let him leave. He let his personal opinions and beliefs about COVID be known loudly and wouldn't compromise at all. He was rude and agitated when it could have been a simple conversation. If you have any COVID or mask regulations, (like we do as a senior community), do not hire. The show itself was mediocre and only consisted of slight of hand card tricks. He reprimanded and kicked out the children in the audience even though they weren't acting inappropriately. He was well aware there would be children there since he was hired for a show for Grandparents Day. His unprofessionalism alone is enough to never hire him again, let alone his political rants. The magic was average at best. Do not hire. read more

What a unique quarantine birthday gift! My friend gifted me a virtual magic show! Loved it! We didn't plan well timing wise and even had it in the car while in line for take out! Kids had fun and it was entertaining! We are still talking about it a day later! Very fun and a great way to send something special during this time of social distancing. read more

Jack was awesome. Not only did he ensure we got a preview of his act before we booked him, he was a big hit at our party. Jack, Thanks again for a great performance at our party. Everyone loved it and thought you were charming, charismatic and a great kid whisperer on top of being an awesome magician! And to top it off you carried all those chairs up and down all those stairs! read more

Jack is truly magical and knows exactly how to entertain any crowd. We hired him for my daughter's 11th birthday, which had a mix of kids, teens and adults. During his time there he found a way to engage with all 40+ guests and truly blew our minds. He handled the hecklers/know-it-alls with ease and was great with remembering names and making people feel comfortable. We would definitely hire Jack again! . read more

Jack Velour is bomb af. Having been completely entranced prior to entering nor knowing the name of this establishment which is Mutt's, Jack Velour had my friend Mike and I completely reeled in. Jack has certainly refined has refined his craft, demonstrating a suave demeanor and a seamless routine--a class act he is. read more

I've never rated anyone less than 5 stars on Yelp. We saw Jack at a retirement home. In a room full of senior citizens, there were about 6 children, all under the age of 6. He reprimanded them even before the show began for being loud. There was not one child that was yelling or acting inappropriately. About 15 min into the show, 5 of the 6 children left due to being reprimanded. The last one (6th child) said they were "kicked out" when we saw them outside. This was sad, as this magician had been hired for the Grandparent's Day celebration at the retirement home, and the only grandchildren that were there were pretty much felt unwelcome and had to leave. We left just because the magic was tedious and lame. I don't know how he got these 5 star reviews. Maybe he was having a bad day? Or maybe he felt he could be rude to a population that would probably not complain. Do not hire. read more

I hired Jack for my birthday party. He showed up early was very entertaining and put on a fabulous show. read more

Jack is an absolutely incredible magician! We were constantly baffled by his tricks, and he is truly one of the kindest people ever. He did a virtual show for us during the pandemic and it was such an incredible gift to receive for my husband's birthday. We loved it so much that we sent a virtual show to multiple friends and each time people were overjoyed and had their spirits lifted. In times like these a magician/ man like Jack is just what our world needs. I would highly recommend him! read more

Shame on me for not speaking my opinion about Jack until now..So I've used Jack on three separate occasions one for business, two for personal since 2014. Hands down this guy knows his craft....always a great show/ Performance. Very dynamic adapts to whatever situation or event he's at. Easy 5 Stars that's a no-brainer... So that's my review for Jack. what baffles me is that Alicia has the audacity to smash this professional in his field for reasons unknown. Listen lady if you have champagne taste on a beer budget you need to go somewhere else to look for a magician. perhapsyou can find a krusty the crown impersonator from The Simpsons TV series...not the most expensive not the least expensive but you can't put a price on quality. read more

Great entertainer and magician, blows away the likes of Penn and Teller! No joke, nice to see quality magic up close and personal.

Honestly, SO SO good! I don't understand how he does it and I love it! His magic is on point every single time and he is super responsive to any crowd. He literally MADE the event! read more

We met Jack Velour on an event where we were the videographers to capture the moment! We were the witness of all the magic he brought to the event... JACK has it all! The woow, the powww and the bang! Jack was a HIT! Not only for the audience but also for our video. We do weddings and we can't wait to hire him for Cocktail hours! When Jack first walked in, he was just magical by his appearance... He has the Look of the Greatest Showman. Hiring him for your event will be the best trick you can do to your guests or even yourself. Looking forward to see you on the road again Monsieur Jack Velour! read more

I've hired Jack for the past five years to perform at a fraternity reunion party, and every year he's been absolutely amazing. Because all fraternities suck to some extent, Jack often has to deal with drunk idiots during his show. Luckily, he's somehow just as good at crowd control as he is at magic - I've never seen someone so adeptly get a rowdy room to shut up while still being so incredibly charming. Jack's show is spectacular. Last year I took a six week magic class at The Magic Castle to try and understand how Jack does it, but he still leaves me baffled. He's definitely on par with the best magicians I've ever seen and I can't recommend him highly enough. Hire Jack Velour. Do it. He's the number one highlight of our party and I'm sure he'll kick ass at yours too. read more

Has cards, will travel. I met Jack on a party boat on a weekend brunch cruise and he was nice enough to give my party a free 10 minute comedy magic show. Mostly card tricks but he had two amazing egg related tricks that baffled me to this day! (And I watched closely!) So impressed with this demo, I decided to hire him to surprise a dinner party I threw with a magic show and needed him to show up two days after I contacted him for a quote on the event. He was able to come down with such short notice and had some new tricks in his routine more suited to our event, but still brought the impromptu comedic wit with him as well. Overall, the experience was exactly what you need in life from time to time. Don't we all get so caught up in our responsibilities and routines that even our entertainment options seem ordinary or routine... I was so happy to bump into him and have him give the party such a spectacular show. None of us had anything like this happen "randomly" and its now a moment that we recall and laugh about together when we gather again for other engagements. It was a definite pleasure and I would indeed hire him again in the future. Long / short of it is: Hire him, its a good show, it ran about 20 minutes in total I think about 10 or 11 tricks were shown and all of them were pretty mind blowing if you aren't a stickler and can sit back and enjoy this type of entertainment. Lastly, he was very cool no pressure about payments. He took a deposit to confirm the date, and let me pay the remainder at my earliest convenience. A+ read more

I'd give Jack 10 stars if I could. Jack has been entertaining my family and friends for a couple years now. We frequently see him at Woodies in Newport where he's been kind enough to come down to our boat and I recently hired Jack to entertain a hundred or so employees at a party. Jack's magic is amazing and he's a super-nice guy. You can't go wrong if you're looking for a high quality, up close and personal magic experience. read more

I had the opportunity have Jack at my Christmas party. It was really cool to see how he interacted with the kids. They were in awe by what he could do. He has a true knack with kids. I have also seen him in perform at a party geared more for adults. He was equally able to capture his audience where everyone in the room mesmerized when he began to perform. I think this versatility is the character of natural talent. He catered beautifully to mesmerize the crowd in each scenario. I would highly recommend Jack to any party. He would be a great asset and worth every penny. read more

Easy on the eyes and master of the prestidigitation, magician Jack Velour had us all in awe as he entertained our small intimate crowd at a recent birthday party. You won't believe your eyes as he dazzles you with his sleight of hand and consummate performance style. Two thumbs way up! read more

I first saw/met Jack in NB and knew I wanted to hire him for an event of my own. We had the pleasure of having Jack entertain my son, family and friends for his bar mitzvah this past August. Jack is very professional and I can't tell you how many people stopped what they were doing just to glimpse what was going on. He had everybody enthralled. I highly recommend him and look forward to another opportunity to see him perform. read more

I had the pleasure of seeing Jack Velour twice in a short span of time (a few months apart) The first time was at a nieces birthday party. He did an amazing job at keeping the children entertained and an even better job of keeping the adults entertained. At the birthday party for the children there were some little skeptics (one knows how children can be) and he was sure to handle them with grace and in the end put them in awe. After seeing how well he performed i referred him to a dear friend and coworker of mine for her 30th birthday party that i was hosting for her. She did some research and hired him. We let him know approximately many people would be there and he brought his own beautiful padded wood chairs and set them up himself. Once set up he walked around the party to small groups and tables that were standing around. He put everyone in amazement. Its interesting to see how people reacted to him, some couldn't stop laughing, some were kind of perturbed that they couldn't figure out the trick and others like me, were in pure bewilderment and awe of what was happening in front of our eyes. Like his slogan says, its literally magic that happens in your hands! After doing some roaming magic, everyone came inside and he put on a marvelous show. No one got restless or even got up to get another cocktail because they were so enthralled in what was happening.Since i saw him very close together I would have thought I would have seen some of the same tricks or the same acts but I did not. He is a gentlemen of every sense of the word and so courteous and humble. you can tell he is a really genuinely good person. I want to hire him for everything! He MADE the party! THANK YOU JACK! read more

Jack performed at my company's 2017 holiday party at Red O Restaurant in Newport Beach. He went around and around, making sure everyone got to experience a little magic. He's very charming and fun and we'd love to have him back for any of our events. read more

He wouldn't let me pick a card because he didn't want to reward bad behavior. I was drunk on bottomless mimosas. But my friends said he was amazing. read more

I hired Jack Velour to entertain guests at my husband's 60th birthday party on December 7, 2013 at The Wine Artist. He was the highlight of the whole party. He performed his various 'magic' tricks for 1 1/2 hours and he was remarkable! He arrived on time (even though it was pouring rain that day) with a smile, dressed in a tux and we all had a blast and were amazed at what he did! He was really good circulating from table to table and even for people standing at the bar. Highly recommend him for any type of party/event and kids will love him too. read more

I hired Jack to perform at my husband's birthday celebration. He was so amazing! All my friends really liked his personality and his card tricks. We had two long tables of guests.

I highly recommend him. read more

Jack performed and WOW'd our guests at our wedding last weekend. He mingled amongst the crowd and floored people with his incredible magic. He's truly mesmerizing. Jack has continued to be a talking point and highlight for our friends and family, post-event. We're so pleased we hired him, it was such a unique addition to our special day. It's worth saying, my husband and I are big 'magic fans' and have frequented the Magic Castle. Jack's close-up magic is unrivaled as far as we're concerned! read more

We had Mr. Velour for my Dad's birthday party. He was the best magician I've ever seen in person! Very personable, casual, and easy to interact with. He floated around the party doing tricks and impressing everyone. 10/10 would hire for a party again! read more

We hired Jack for a small group birthday party at our home. My fiance fancies himself to be an amateur magician and grew up having magicians at his birthdays. I thought he would be hard to impress but Jack definitely wow'd him and the rest of our guests. He had us on the edge or our seats and we are looking forward to seeing him perform again soon. We may even ask him to perform at our wedding in August! read more

My wife and I hired Jack Velour for our wedding cocktail hour this past weekend. He exceeded all expectations! Amazing experience with him. We had never seen his work, I simply came across his website and emailed him. He quickly responded and we set up an in-person meeting within hours. After our meeting, my wife and I booked him right away! As the bride and groom we had to take pictures during our entire cocktail hour with family and our couple pictures, so we couldn't entertain our guests during that first hour and a half. That's where Jack stepped in. He basically ran our cocktail hour and kept our guests entertained while we were away. Sure there was tray passed hors d'oeuvres and open bar, but Jack was the highlight. He came professional, dressed in a tuxedo and walked around from group to group and brought guests together. Even guests who didn't know each other, he gave them something to talk about. He blew everyone's mind with awesome magic. After cocktail hour ended, Jack waited around and performed a few special magic tricks just for my wife, me and the bridal party. It was great! We highly recommend him for weddings or any event! read more

If you have the opportunity to see or book Jack and you miss it, you only have yourself to blame. We booked Jack for my wife's birthday party in Charlotte. He worked the entire crowd individually and in small groups, did a show for the entire group, then worked the crowd again. Extremely personable and funny and I think he knew all of the 40+ guests by name after their first introduction. Again, if you have the chance, you need to take advantage of the opportunity to book him. Thanks again Jack. Great time. I've had at least a dozen of the guests ask how I found you. read more
