The Berkeley magician who performs in your guests' hands
Close-up magic for grown-up events
Give every guest a front-row seat to the impossible. Jon Finch moves from group to group performing personalized command performances of close-up magic — so the astonishment happens inches away, in their own hands.
No spectating from a distance. No waiting for a show to start. Just cheers, disbelief, and a buzz that follows Jon around the room.
Since the magic happens in their hands, there will be cheers, screams, lots of discussion, and a buzz in the atmosphere, bringing everyone in your group together.
Most magicians ask a room to sit and watch. Finch does the opposite.
A different kind of magic
Jon Finch specializes in close-up magic. The magician approaches your guests where they already are — at the table, in the lounge, by the bar — and performs miracles right in their hands. Each guest becomes part of the magic, not a spectator to it.
That’s why it lands harder. When the impossible happens in your own hands, there’s no “how did he do that from up there?” Suddenly there’s only “I watched it happen and I still don’t believe it.”
The magic happens in their hands
Their hands are the stage. Your guests don’t watch magic. They hold it, feel it, know it’s happening, and can’t explain it. The reactions are real, alive, and unforgettable.
Every guest is the star
Finch works group to group, so no one’s stuck in the back of a room. Each guest gets a personal moment and a souvenir they’ll keep long after the event.
The entertainment fits your event, not the other way around
No tech, no stage, no schedule to build around. Jon weaves through your event and adapts to the flow — before dinner, during cocktails, whenever the energy needs a lift.
The photos take themselves
Photographers love Jon’s magic: candid, wide-eyed, mid-laugh reactions inches from the surprising magic. These photos are the kind of shots you want to share.
“We hired Magician Jon Finch for our company dinner party. WOW! He is simply AMAZING! Highly recommend him to anyone that wants to keep a crowd entertained. We plan to use him again in the future. Thank You Jon for your entertainment.”

“I had breakfast with Nisar this morning who told me he didn't sleep because his mind kept spinning as he tried to crack the code to your magic! I would say you set a new bar — he's not easily impressed. You are clearly a one-of-a-kind magician!”

“We hired Jon for a fundraising cocktail party held at our house for 100 people. He was outstanding! ... Jon was perfect and so entertaining! The feedback we received was so positive and people were blown away at how fun, professional and talented he is.”

About Berkeley, IL
Berkeley (pronounced BURK-lee) is a village in Cook County, Illinois, United States. Incorporated in 1924, the population at the 2020 census was 5,338. The town has a commuter railroad station on Metra's Union Pacific West Line with service to downtown Chicago. Berkeley is situated fourteen miles west of the Chicago Loop in Cook County. Berkeley is on the western edge of Cook County. Berkeley has instant access to the metropolitan area, with Interstates 290 and 294 comprising its western and part of its southern boundaries, and the Union Pacific Railroad (originally the Chicago & North Western) and the large Proviso classification yard to the north. However, the transit arteries that link Berkeley to separate locations also function to isolate the village from its close neighbors, providing it a small-town atmosphere. == Geography == Berkeley is located at 41°53′12″N 87°54′38″W (41.886794, -87.910528). According to the 2021 census gazetteer files, Berkeley has a total area of 1.40 square miles (3.63 km2), all land. == History == Farmers, mostly of German and Dutch heritage, began to settle in the region that would become Berkeley around 1835.
