Introduction: As a young adult, I chose to enter my first "magic competition". I designed a routine which combined several effects into one magical, cohesive routine. I didn't get first place ... I did better. I took home the first ever awarded "Bill Simon Memorial Award for Excellence in the Art of Magic". (Bill Simon was a well respected close-up magician in the magic world.) What does that mean to you? Probably not much. My peers loved the routine. The world reknowned magician, named Paul Harris, who created the magic effects that I put together into a routine he had never considered, was very impressed. But, I vowed to never enter another magic competition. Why not? Because you've never heard of 99% of the magician's who win magic competitions. Performing magic isn't about winning awards. It's about entertaining my audience. My "award" is your applause and being recommended to your friends and peers as a performer. I hope for respect from my magic peers, but you, my intended audience, is much more important to me! I'm not interested in fooling or impressing magicians, I'm interested in entertaining you! Speaking just as a magician: All magician's have access to the same effects, routines and props. What makes me different? Personality? Energy? Experience? Maybe even a personal touch to my routines? All of the above? For me, entertaining has nothing to do with ego, it's all about the audience having a good time. I want my audience involved, both visually and emotionally! When I perform, I try to be the guy you would want to be buddies with, which is why so many of my past clients now ARE friends! I invite you in and show you these cool things I've learned. That's what magic should be about. In return, I have been invited, as a guest, to birthdays, weddings, dinner, you name it, by past clients that now just enjoy me as a personal friend. I think that is one of the best testimonials I can offer! As an entertainer, I get invited to the best parties. And, I am lucky to meet new and interesting people at all types of events - and I look forward to meeting, and entertaining you!

Jeff McClure is the perfect combination of professionalism and fun! His shows are amazing and funny and his strolling magic is perfect for any event that needs ambient entertainment. Jeff is so personable, he makes everyone feel as if they've known him their whole life. Guests talk about him for days after the event. He delivers way above expectations every time. Highly recommended!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    "Jeff McClure has entertained audiences since the age of 6. He has been a full time pro since the age of 14. He graduated from the nationally recognized "GTA Program" from Gainesville College/Brenau University's Theatre Program. Jeff has traveled the USA with the Royal Magic circus as their featured act as well as co-hosting the acclaimed children's variety TV show "Joy's Clubhouse" for 2 years! Jeff has studied with some of the magic world's top magician's: Jeff McBride, Max Maven, Eugene Burger and others. He has also participated as an instructor with David Copperfield's "Project Magic" magic therapy program for hospitalized patients. Since then, he has focused his career to provide quality acts and performers for all types of occasions and audiences. Jeff truly understands the concept of being not only a magician, but an entertainer." Entertainment is a tough business. ANYONE can claim to be an entertainer, and be very sincere in their efforts. Some do it for fun, and some to it as a side-business. And, many of those people charge little to nothing for their "fun job." And, in every case, you get exactly what you pay for! Entertainers offering "cheap prices" etc. obviously don't truly value their worth - and doesn't your event, family, customers, etc deserve THE BEST you, and I, can offer? As a full time, professional career entertainer, I recognize the fact that I am priviledged to be at your event, and that each event is an audition for being booked at future events. You can't go wrong with The Magical Mr. McClure!
