Nigel Blackstorm

Nigel Blackstorm was raised in a small town in the south of England. As a youth he focused on his two passions: heavy metal and magic. As is the case with us all, Nigel grew to adulthood and was confronted with choosing his career path. As his love for metal and magic had only grown over time, and since he had no desire to wear a suit, Nigel decided to devote his life to both his arts, founding the magical heavy metal cover band, Lordz of Illuzzion, in 1991.  In 1998, following a sold out performance, the other three Lordz abruptly quit the band. Nigel was devastated by this surprising and untimely break-up. Driven by rage and passion and channeling the spirits of Houdini and Ozzy Osbourne, he put the pieces of his life back together and thus emerged The Heavy Metal Magician. With the skills of an alchemist, Nigel blended heavy metal music and the world of magic, creating the unique genre: “heavy magic.” Be prepared to have your mind blown, and ladies: please control yourselves.

Jason Suran

Jason Suran, a New York-based mentalist/magician, is one of the most sought-after performers of mindreading magic in America. His unique blend of psychology and deception has led him around the world, from private shows in the hills of Italy to an upcoming stage show in the Caribbean. In addition to his work abroad, Jason is a regular fixture at some of the most exclusive venues in New York. He has performed close-up magic at Carnegie Hall, read minds on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and has captivated celebrities in living rooms and private clubs across the city, including The Soho House and The National Arts Club. He takes no responsibility for any bent spoons found at any of these locations.

Originally from Chicago, Jason first moved east to attend New York University where he studied Theatre and Film History. His love of storytelling steered him towards magic

and more specifically ... the history and methods of modern psychics. The first mindreading effect he learned was how to guess which hand someone hides a coin in 10 times in a row and he never did a rope trick again. After years of refining his craft on multiple stages (and in 3 different languages) Jason has emerged as one of the most in-demand performers of psychological magic to date. He is a regular performer at New York’s two top-rated magic shows – A Taste of Magic and Monday Night Magic.
