John Michael Hinton is an American magician and speaker who enlarges close-up magic for stage audiences through a live camera feed. His official biography emphasizes everyday objects, storytelling, humor and messages about joy and purpose, while the current site offers a direct booking route and performance media. A 2025 nonprofit interview confirms continued work as a magician and speaker and explores how creativity and ADHD shape his energetic style. Hinton has appeared twice on Penn & Teller: Fool Us with distinct close-up-for-stage routines. The evidence does not clearly state a current home city or publish a direct booking email.
