JB Benn

JB Benn is a world-renown and premier entertainer, performer, artist, and master illusionist. There’s magic in the legend of a young JB Benn with nothing up his sleeve becoming the greatest close-up magician in the world. It began in Manhattan in 1991 when the sixteen-year-old JB Benn selected a random Gramercy Park restaurant and went to work making silver coins appear and flipping cards into a parade for Paulina Porizkova and Ric Ocasek. By the age of twenty-one, JB Benn had performed around the city at corporate gatherings, private dinners, and parties of every kind as word spread that there was magic in the magic.

Now, the native Manhattanite JB Benn is known throughout the world as one of the few “close up” magicians. Preferring to let the quality of his craft be its own hallmark, JB Benn has chosen the subtle path of artistry and illusion over flash and hype. Despite his unassuming nature, JB Benn's great charm, talent, and skill have won him a large, loyal and prestigious clientele. Based out of New York, JB Benn constantly travels the world for work and enjoyment. He has journeyed near and far for clients, from as distant as Rajasthan to as local as Brooklyn. JB Benn has starred in multiple TV series based on his talents: “Magic Man,” “Mondo Magic,” “Magic Asia” to name a few.

“I can show up at somebody’s house and have nothing with me,” said JB Benn. “I can borrow a cup. If I went into your kitchen and took a big coffee mug and told you to stare at this thing you’re used to seeing every day, then I lifted a grapefruit out from underneath it, well, people have been known to run out of their houses.”

Seeing is disbelieving whenever JB Benn performs. And that’s just where the fun begins. If you missed JB Benn on A&E’s Mondo Magic, and the Travel Channel’s Magic Man, don’t miss your next chance to watch his wise hands make a card disappear along with the way you count on reality.
