Your guests will laugh, have fun, and ask you "Where did you find this guy? He was great!" My entertainment combines comedy, audience interaction, and strong magic. I have been fortunate to appear at Hollywood's Magic Castle, in Las Vegas, and on a 3-month national tour for General Motors.

Jeff came to the bachelorette party for my cousin. He was so sweet and the show was INSANE!! We are still mind blown at how he did all those tricks. This is an experience we are going to be talking about for years and years. Amazing job, Jeff! We loved every minute of your show. More...

I hired Jeff very last minute for my Fiancé’s bachelorette party that same day. While I was not there to see Jeff’s act, he was the talk of the town the next day. I was told that people were crying laughing. His deadpan delivery with a tinge of awkwardness was just what the party needed. Thank you Jeff for saving the day! You scored some brownie points for me!

Jeff was absolutely fantastic and such a memorable part of our wedding after party. From the start, he was incredibly easy to communicate with and so thoughtful about the overall vibe we were hoping to create, including attire and presentation. We had a speakeasy casino theme, and he fit the energy perfectly.His tricks were amazing, and what stood out most was how much everyone loved him. Guests of all ages were engaged, entertained, and genuinely impressed. He was great at reading the room, connecting with the audience, and keeping the energy fun without ever feeling forced.Jeff brought such a unique, elevated touch to the night and left everyone smiling. We are so glad we had him as part of our celebration and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for entertainment that feels personal, polished, and unforgettable. More...

My friends and I asked Jeff to perform at our 30th birthday, and he did an amazing job! The show was the perfect blend of interactive, funny, and magical. Our group STILL can't figure out how he did a couple tricks. I can't recommend him enough! More...

Jeff is GREAT with the kids. He had a group of +-10 kids (and many adults) totally involved and excited. The kids left happy- which means the parents were smiling too. This was at our 80th anniversary picnic. Way to go Jeff! Kent Higginbotham More...

Jeff easy to work with, and is a real professional. The agreement are all in writing and very easy to understand. I did not have to have a lawyer to explain the paperwork to or the payment. Thank you Jeff
Cynthia Pappas
I fell in love with magic the first time I saw Jeff Lefton perform. He brings his signature humor, sophistication and easygoing banter to each performance. One minute he will have a woman cough up coins, and I will belly laugh. The next minute he will bring out his hand guillotine, and I will freeze with fear, knowing he can’t really chop off his assistant’s hand, but gripping my seat in thrilling terror all the same. His shows are fresh, original and funny. As I have watched him over the years, I have secretly dreamed about becoming a magician myself. I know this is wishful thinking on my part. It is just that Jeff makes it all look so easy and fun that I never want the moment to end. More...

Thanks very much, Cynthia. Perhaps I can teach you some magic & I will be your opening act! Thanks again.
Bill Collier
My wife hired Jeff to do comedy magic at my surprise birthday party at our home. He absolutely was a big hit.
First of all, his sleight of hand is right up there with just about anything you've seen magicians do in person or on television.
He would do a coin trick and amaze us. Then, he'd tell us he was going to show us in slow motion how he did it. Instead, that turned into a new trick which was also amazing.
His comedy kept everyone in stitches. Great stuff and a great value - I strongly recommend him.

Wow, so Jeff came on such short notice and I was trying to figure out what to do for my Dad , who was turning 75 , and in the mist of an Pandemic 😷 and with health issues, I knew I didn’t want him out in any restaurants or other places, my Dad is the oldest of 15 siblings so, if I would have threw him a party, I would definitely have put him at greater risk, Jeff saved the day with his Amazing entertainment, his showmanship and you can tell he’s been doing Magic for years, we laughed the whole entire time, funny and I would give 1000 stars if I could, make sure you book him for your next event, you won’t be disappointed, not by a long shot!!

How long have you been interested in magic?
I got a magic set from my dad when I was 8 years old. I started performing professionally at kids parties when I was 12. My mom would drive me around. Many kids go through a phase where they are interested in magic. I've never been smart enough to move on. I love magic!
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Your guests will enjoy really good magic--with comedy sprinkled in. So they will not only be amazed, but they'll laugh a lot as well! A survey of cruise ship passengers rated a combination of comedy & magic as the entertainment they enjoyed most. That is what I strive to provide.
My show ties together. I.e. it is not just a collection of unrelated tricks. The routines tie together to make for a nicely packaged show. Everything comes together at the end.
What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy bringing laughter & joy to people. I am always trying to make little improvements to my show. Johnny Carson once asked George Burns how he knows when a routine is finished. Burns replied "when you can't sandpaper it any more". I am always trying to "sandpaper my acts to make them the best they can be. It's exciting to get a show tighter and better.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've started 3 businesses. The first 2 I sold after ~11 years of running each of them: an inflatables rental company (bounce houses, velcro walls, giant slides,...), and a business teaching magic to kids in after school classes and summer camps. The 3rd, performing magic, I am still doing. I don't know that I'm a very good employee. I like being my own boss, growing a business, and having my independence.
Why should our clients choose you?
1. As I think you'll see from my testimonials, I do a great, entertaining show!
2. I get your guests laughing and involved in the show.
3. I do a number of things to put you at ease, so you are not nervous, wondering if the act is going to show up. I email you a written confirmation with the details. I touch base a few days prior. You will have my cell phone. I arrive early to set up so I don't have to rush and you don't have to worry.
4. I love performing magic. I've been doing it professionally since I was 12 years old when my mom would drive me around to kids birthday parties. I've performed in Hollywood at The Magic Castle, in Las Vegas, and on a 3-month national tour for General Motors.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I can perform the show virtually via zoom, teams, etc. if you prefer.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have had the 2 covid shots and a booster. I wash my hands before & after a show, and generally wear a mask if I'm walking in any public areas. During a show, I'm generally at least several feet back from the audience. I have performed wearing a mask, which I'm glad to do if you prefer.
Types of Magical Entertainment
I offer 4 types of magical entertainment: 1) comedy magic show; 2) strolling, close-up magic; 3) take-home magic souvenirs; 4) a magic-themed party where the audience rotates rooms, enjoying 3 different close-up shows from 3 different magicians.
