Jacques le Sueur
I've never had a real job.
I'm a fulltime magician, and have performed live for well over two and a half million people worldwide. A leader in my chosen field, most of my current shows are for global corporations and high-end celebrity parties, but I have performed in ludicrously extreme places, everywhere from nightclubs in Hollywood to Theme Parks in Korea. I've even done magic inside the Pyramids of Cairo...
I've been robbed, stabbed, shot at, learnt to shoot an AK47 with Warlords and child soldiers in the Congolese jungle, stolen Nelson Mandela, the King of Dubai and Margaret Thatcher's watches from their arms without their knowing, eaten dog, monkey and snake in Asia, swum with dolphins in Mozambique, eaten fire in Edinburgh, lived with Bedouins in the deserts around Dubai, drunk vodka with Siberian soldiers, been chased down a riverbank by an angry crocodile in Central Africa, arm-wrestled a Russian Mafia boss, learnt pickpocketing techniques from Algerian pickpockets, married a stripper, had lunch with a NASA astronaut, lived with a Mexican high-diving team in Korea, been set on fire by drug addicts in San Francisco, crowd-surfed over 500 000 people at Glastonbury Festival and been knocked unconscious by a 90 year old woman in Scotland.
And the highlight of my life? meeting my gorgeous, gorgeous wife, Felicia, and receiving her gift of the two most fabulous sons in the world.
I believe EVERYONE has true Magic inside them, and we're all capable of truly amazing, fantastic, astonishing things. My passion? Discovering and sharing this latent universal power with new friends and family -- in the most unexpected places.
