A trick’s a trick’s a trick, some might say, but for those who know, a magician who takes pride in his craft makes the world of difference between a sidewalk trickster and an artiste. A true magician does more than a bunch of party tricks - he refines his craft to become an entertainer.Every magician develops a certain area of magic which intrigues him most. Jonathan’s personal style is close-up magic, an intimate, organic form of magic that engages the audience with their surroundings via the mundane routines of life. There are no fancy props, no bunny-in-the-hat agenda. Rather, the close-up magician uses everyday objects such as money, paper, string and cards to amaze his audience at close range. Incidentally, Jonathan has had the privilege to perfect his art of close-up magic from some of the best in the trade.After graduating in Psychology, Jonathan’s stint in the US gave him firsthand experience of how his art, which many shortchange as mere entertainment, can become relevant in society. Volunteering as a community centre counsellor, he worked daily with juvenile delinquents, many of whom originated from rough backgrounds, and were difficult to reach out to. Interestingly, magic speaks a universal language. It melts away cross cultural-boundaries and personal barriers even, enabling Jonathan to built relationships with these youths.Today, Jonathan’s array of experience includes corporate launches, roadshows and dinner galas for clients such as Porsche, Hewlett Packard, Maxis, Guinness Anchor Berhad, SP Setia, as well as for movie premiers debuts. He also performs for weddings and other private events. He’s had his share of media coverage too, which include live TV performances on 8tv’s Latte@8 and TV3’s Malaysia Hari Ini.www.jonleesg.com
