Who is Magical John?

     John Wolfson developed an intense fascination with magic in 1995 at the young age of 6. Since then, John has earnestly studied under veterans of magic, learning the well kept secrets of Houdini, Tarbell, and Blackstone, as well as modern designers of the magical art. In 2003, John joined the International Brotherhood of Magicians, 'The world's largest organization for magicians and for people interested in the magical arts.' To this day, John studies and practices his art of illusion daily to keep current effects fresh, and also to develop new material that will push the envelope and continue to captivate his audience in an alternate reality.

     In addition to his training in magic, John has worked closely with Open Hand Theater in stilting, juggling, puppetry and comedy. John has had 8 years of competitive dance instruction in the fields of ballet, tap, jazz, and acrobatics. In 2002, John began a 3 year membership with the prestigious Syracuse Children’s Chorus which was honored as the 'Featured Guest Choir' at the 2003 'Children in Harmony' choral festival at Walt Disney World. Presently, John is majoring in theatre at SUNY Oswego, and looks forward to further developing his eclectic repertoire as a performer.
    

     "[John] is a multi-talented young man who has devoted much time and energy to developing his performance and showmanship. He is an encouragement to all of us, and I think, a fine example of the future of magic." -Scotty Matthews, The Wandogram.
