"The magic of Jim Lenz has the outstanding capability of entertaining
audiences from the young to the young at heart. While at our fair, Jim
performed to large crowds of all ages mesmerizing children and adults
alike with his magic while at the same time entertaining with his jokes.
In between performances, Jim walked around doing strolling magic which
delighted our fair attendees. People couldn't get enough of this
entertainer, and when it was over (even good things must come to an end)
people couldn't stop talking about how wonderful he is. Our fair theme
this year was "It just keeps getting better!" and I can't think of
anything better that we could have had at our fair than the Magic of Jim
Lenz!

SON HAS BEEN MAKING DOGS OUT OF BALLONS EVER SINCE WATCHING JIM. VERY NICE
GUY. HE WOULD BE GOOD FOR ANY KIND OF SHOW......."
TARA MCKENNEY (ORGANIZER OF EVENT)
Jim did an absolute wonderful job with his magic show. He tailored it to
the age of the kids in the group, but also added a few mature kicks for the
adult enjoyment. I strongly and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone
considering such an act at any type of group event.
Mike - Cub Scout Pack 4136, Green Bay, WI
"Awesome Show! Everyone is talking about it"
Sandra Swietlik - Albert Story School, Milwaukee
"Jim is very popular at our library, having done his magic performance several times.
He is entertaining for all ages from children to adults because he has so much fun
with the audience. His tricks are performed with ease and often leave the audience,
including the adults, wondering 'How did he do that?' When Jim is scheduled to visit
the library, I know our patrons will leave happy."
Anne Mead, Pulaski Branch, Brown County Library
“Our usually quiet Wednesday evening was filled with shrieks
of laughter and gasps of `How did he do that!?` Kids and
parents had lots of fun. Thank you for spending time
answering questions after the show.”
Jody Lovaj - Brown County Library-Southwest Branch
“The John C. Platts Performing Arts Center was
broken in with gusto and packed the house. It provided
ample room for magician Jim Lenz to hilariously maim
and deform his innocent audience volunteers.”
Doug Welch – Milton Courier
I want to thank you for doing such great work for our
Bethel Girls' Night Out. I was so pleased to hear such
good reports of the evening from many who attended.
One lady told me that she wished she had had a
science teacher like you as she might have learned
and enjoyed her science classes better.

"For my daughter's 4th birthday, we had Jim come to the house.
My child was so ecstatic--she kept reminding friends and family
that the "Magic Man" was coming to her house. Jim came and he
was awesome!! He made my daughter feel so special. He did a
birthday cake trick--that she still talks about today. She also tells
people of how she floated in the air. She was so thrilled, even to the
point that she thought he was coming back the next day. My family
loved the show too--simply amazing. His performance was so
great and he is very funny!! The kids and adults just loved it. "
K. Anderson - Mom ans birthday party planner
"If you weren't there I would have been stuck with trying to entertain
22 kids and it would have been justan ordinary birthday party.
You made the party a success and I thank
you for that. Not only were the kids impressed (they talked about it at
school all day) but as you saw for yourself you really impressed the
parents that were there. Debbie still has that bewildered look on her
face, I don't think she will ever get over not knowing how you did some
of your tricks and illusions.
Zarhea really had a great time and was very happy to know that her
friends enjoyed themselves as much as she did.
Again, thanks for making Zarhea's birthday party the talk of the town!!"
Deanna C. (Mom and birthday party planner), Pulaski, WI
"Jim did his Air-Powered Rocket program several years
ago and it was well-received. Kids were amazed that the
paper rockets they made could travel several hundred feet,
with the farthest one traveling nearly 300feet, or the length
of a football field. Watching their excited faces was priceless.
I asked Jim to do the program again this summer and we
had nearly double the attendance. Thank you for a fantastic program!"
Anne Mead, Pulaski Branch, Brown County Library
“Had a G R E A T T I M E ! Thanks so much for your showmanship!
Marlene, Shawano Senior Care Center Coordinator

you are able to come and entertain us again.”

Priscilla –Hope, Health, and Rehabilitation Center (Lomira, WI)
“Jim--you are just awesome! You are making my job sooooo
much easier. You are absolutely the best! I haven’t even seen
the show yet and you have proven yourself with such
awesome response time…
You are the best and I haven’t even seen the show!”

Jim Lenz...Magician and Science Entertainer!
STAGE MAGIC
Expect lots of laughs and gasps of amazement during Jim Lenz's Comedy & Illusion Show. While most things will remain a surprise till the show, Jim promises lots of audience participation. In fact, in many of the stage shows, someone from the audience will even float in air! Another unbelievable moment is when Jim Lenz makes his own face both shrink and expand. Jim's blend of illusion, fun mind reading, comedy, props, and crazy antics treats the audience to a form of entertainment they will not see anywhere else!
CLOSE-UP MAGIC
Whether tableside or walk-around magic, you view the illusions from mere inches away. Watch as one ball placed in a spectator’s hand quickly turns into two balls. Shortly after, two balls change to three balls. Finally, dozens of balls magically appear in an astonished spectator’s hand. Other close-up magic involves Jim Lenz reading the minds of spectators. Imagine Jim asking you to think of a person's name or vacation destination. Now imagine the feeling you will have when Jim tells you exactly what you are thinking. Or watch as objects seemingly float in air right before the guests' eyes! Guests will be amazed when a borrowed one dollar bill turns into a five dollar bill or a borrowed twenty dollar bill turns to a one dollar bill:). A ring is borrowed, then vanishes, and appears in the most unbelievable places.
The reactions from guests either cause someone to be speechless or they laugh and scream with excitement. Guests are so thrilled with Jim's close-up work that they often book him for a show shortly after the event. Many of Jim's shows happen soley because they see him perform close-up in a restaurant or other venue. With Jim’s close-up shows, every table, small group, and person participates. Everyone experiences the magic firsthand. Find out why Jim has so many satisfied customers! If you run a business, magic can even be used to sell a product, idea, or service. Close-up Magic may be presented in the following formats:
Strolling: Jim performs from table to table or from group to group. Also great for restaurant magic.
Stationary: Jim performs at a table while guests come and go as they please. Warning! This format attracts large crowds.
Close-up Show: This theatrical presentation lasts approximately 15 – 40 minutes and is perfect for groups numbering 5 to 50.
