Sleight of hand coaching for actors
From the first lesson to camera ready.
Film and television
Magic Consulting
I teach actors sleight of hand, choreograph deception on camera, and make impossible moments feel real.
Featured credit
Criminal, Prime Video.
John served as Magic Technical Advisor across all 8 episodes of Criminal, the Prime Video crime drama from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips's acclaimed comics, working with Richard Jenkins and Charlie Hunnam on sleight of hand.
Broadcast and stage
On air and on stage.
Beyond film, John is the go-to magic consultant for Netflix and Prime Video, and has consulted on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, and a range of live theater productions, teaching sleight of hand and designing illusions that hold up on camera and on stage.

So every take holds up in closeup.
