For over twenty years, Chicago magician Jaime Aponte otherwise known as J-Magic has enjoyed learning magic and entertaining audiences of all ages with comedy magic, illusion, and sleight-of-hand. Born and raised in Chicago, IL, he began learning magic at the young age of twelve. Magic is an art that requires patience, constant studying and practice. Jaime also enjoys teaching and encouraging children in this wonderful art we call magic.
Today, Jaime performs over 160 Magic Shows every year for all types of events from Birthdays, Corporate Events, Daycares, School Functions, Weddings and non-profit organizations. Each performance features an exceptional blend of magic and comedy customized to the event, using sleight-of-hand magic, unique illusions props, comedy, and animals from live birds, rabbits, and by request large trained snakes.
Jaime is an expert entertainer. He has also performed 'walk around,' close up magic at The RAM Restaurants, Home Run Inn Pizzeria, and The Bennigans Restaurant. Jaime says "The best part about performing at the tables is that the magic happens right there in the hands of the guest and also I love to make people laugh, but it really holds a place in my heart when children laugh!"
In addition, J-Magic has been featured in newspapers and has volunteered performances for children with special needs and care through organizations like the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation. The smile and laughter of these children is a reward, which makes him glad to be entertainer. Jaime is a member of both the legendary Wizards Club of Chicago and the Conjuror's Corner Club.
