"I've had the pleasure of seeing John George perform, and he does an amazing job of connecting with his audience and performing spectacular magic! I've also spent a great deal of time with one of his students who continually blows my mind with his skills, as well as his performance abilities. It's proof that we would all do well to learn from a true proffesional like John George!” - Darryl Davis, “The Other Brothers”

Not only am I constantly learning from him, but I have been continually impressed, dazzled, and amazed by his students." - Johnny Ace Palmer, World Champion Magician

The result is a funny, entertaining and unforgettable experience that explains why he’s so beloved by magic fans everywhere. John George travels the world starring in his own action-packed performances at corporate /private and public events, and at exclusive venues such as the world-famous Magic Castle in Los Angeles. John George also performs as part of the two-man team The Magical Misfits.
At a John George show, expect to be challenged — and to not always trust your eyes!
A-listers who have been to a John George show include Sir Paul McCartney, Francis Ford Coppola, Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Jane Fonda, Jason Alexander, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst and Drew Barrymore. Also, John George counts major corporations such as Nike, ESPN, Absolut, Hilton, Toyota, Pepsi, Mattel and X-Games among his top-tier-only clientele.
John George can turn a stuffed toy lion into a living, breathing animal and make a table float across the stage purely on the power of his command. The world-class magician, an expert in sleight of hand—the most difficult magic to learn—is recognized by his peers as one of the top and most talented in the industry. Among the coveted awards John George has won are first place in the International Brotherhood of Magicians’ Gold Cups Competition and the Society of Magicians’ Gold Medal Competition, and he was awarded Most Innovative by the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians.
John George fell in love with magic as a child, and learned his first trick from his father, a hobbyist magician who worked at Disneyland in California. On one of John George’s frequent trips to Disneyland, he met the park’s longtime magician, Dana Daniels, his idol.
John George also was an apprentice of famous prop builder Carl Williams, best known for his exquisite props for famous magicians David Copperfield, Lance Burton and Doug Henning. Under Williams, John George learned the valuable skill of how to build unique pieces — an element that sets him apart from other magicians and shows.
Years later, as he was learning the tricks of the trade, he landed his first dream job: as a magician at Disneyland. For a few years, he was one of only two official magicians—the other was John George’s mentor and world champion Johnny Ace Palmer—at the park.
Today, John George takes his show around the globe, dazzling audiences everywhere in the United States from San Diego and Orange County to such far-flung locales as Ireland and Jamaica.
Where can you see the greatest creators and performers share their magic in front of a live audience and then teach you to do it? Only Penguin LIVE!
Magicians flock to see workers give talks. Why? Because these guys see and learn things that you won't find in any book or video. Yes, you'll be learning some incredibly powerful A-material, but the INVALUABLE stuff will be the insight you learn along the way.
