A classically trained magician and skilled manipulator, John Measner is a graduate of the Chavez Studio of Magic and a member of several prestigious magic organizations. Across more than 35 years he has performed on Chicago's own "Bozo Show," appeared on cable TV talk shows and dazzled audiences at popular festivals.
His shows run from card-and-coin magic worked inches away to a classic illusion show, including Houdini's famous Metamorphosis, with performances catered for kids and adults alike. John appears at parties and private events across the Chicagoland area, and his "Traveling Truck Magic Show" carries the act outdoors, from private homes to gardens to public parks.
