Jan Rose

Jan Rose is equal parts emcee and close-up magician, a performer who can introduce a CEO or a room of VIPs and then sit down and work magic inches from a guest's eyes. She has hosted meetings for the Kellogg School of Business, Turtle Wax and Xerox, and performed on the stages of the Chicago Magic Lounge and the Center on Halsted.

Up close, her magic is fun, interactive and engaging: playing cards, bracelets and a surprising game of tic-tac-toe in which the impossible happens at arm's length. The Chicago Magic Lounge credits her versatility and her ability to do whatever is necessary at a moment's notice — a quality that suits corporate meetings, galas and late-night crowds alike.
