Jed Spangler started his career in magic differently than most magicians. His first magical experience happened when he drove Penn and Teller to a show for his employer’s son’s 21st birthday party. As Penn and Teller were preparing to go on stage, Teller grabbed Jed’s arm and brought him on to the stage to hold their props. After Jed retired, he followed his passion for magic and discovered the Denny and Lee Magic shop in Baltimore, MD. Denny taught Jed that being a magician is not about fooling people with tricks, it is all about entertaining people.

Considering Jed was starting out in magic later in life than most magicians, he understood he would need to find some mentors in order to expedite the process of becoming a great magician. Jed attended the Magic and Mystery School taught by Jeff McBride and Eugene Burger and took private lessons from Jeff, a world class stage magician, and Eugene, a master of close up magic. Jed also worked privately with Bob Fitch who has coached David Copperfield, Jeff McBride and David Blaine, to help him with the theatrical side of his show.

Jed spent a year as a magician’s assistant for a prominent Washington, DC magician before becoming a full time magician. Jed is capable of entertaining in many different venues, while tailoring his performance to fit your corporate function, private party, wedding, charity event or trade show. Depending on your event, Jed can entertain by performing walk around magic, close up magic, parlor and stage shows. Jed enjoys giving back to the community through magic and has volunteered to perform shows for local hospitals and other fundraising events.
