Ben Jackson is a close-up magician and mentalist based in Houston, Texas, known for card magic and visual sleight of hand. Ben Jackson's career includes fooling Penn & Teller on Penn & Teller: Fool Us.
Winner of the World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas, Ben Jackson hosts Magic, Music & Mayhem, a live one-man show in its 10th year of production at Four Seasons Hotel Houston. In place of flashy props and multi-media spectacle, the international champion magician offers refined craft: unexplainable sleight-of-hand magic, feats of the mind and dazzling piano playing.
The room is small enough that a large percentage of the crowd is invited to be a part of the action, and guests sip cocktails through a night of mystery in the Bayou City. Audiences describe non-stop entertainment with no bad seat in the house, and call Ben witty, charming, funny and uber talented — one of Houston’s best kept secrets for an evening out.
One appearance on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and it fooled them.
