Phillip Jennings, Magician Magician from Newark, NJ

Since the age of 7, Phillip Jennings has performed his comedy magic and illusion shows at many of the nation's largest school, college and library systems as well as theatres and cultural arts festivals. Adult, children and family shows are available as well as special theme shows and product promotion for corporations. Phillip's original effects of changing a dancing marionette into a woman and getting two audience members to eat tissue paper have become his signature pieces. National block booking available. The Magic of Phillip Jennings is a colorful and distinctive presentation of visual magic and illusion, intertwined with comedy, music and audience participation. Varied performances may include the use of doves, rabbits, fire eating, stage illusions and female assistants. Adult, Children's and Family shows are available. Performances can be performed while surrounded, as well as on large and small stages for seated audiences of 50 to 1,000 or more. Performance duration from 5 to 90 minutes. A native of New Jersey, Phillip began studying the art of magic and illusion at the age of 7. By the time he entered high school, he was already in great demand to perform in schools, summer park festivals, banquets and dance clubs. Many years and hundred of performances later, Phillip has developed into a great entertainer. The magic shows helped finance his education at Adelphi University, from which he received his Bachelor of Business Administration degree and a minor degree in Theatre Arts. For today’s technically savvy and information oriented audiences, Phillip stays ahead of his competition by creating and redesigning his own illusion. Therefore, you will not likely hear the words “I’ve seen that trick before!” in any of his shows. As an illusion designer and construction engineer, Phillip has been able to create special effects and optical illusions for such corporations as Moody’s Investor Services, Ortho Pharmaceutical and Suzuki Automotive Corporation of America. He has received the Best Entertainment Attraction Award - twice from the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
