After spending 5 years doing his show at Disney World, Vegas called and Jon answered, becoming a recurring headliner at Caesar’s Magical Empire. It was between these runs in Vegas that Jon started doing tours all over the world as both a performer and lecturer, teaching others how to add humor and entertainment to their magic.

Jon has also worked on many films and television shows such as “The Mentalist” Shut Eye, America’s Got Talent, “Spiderman 3” and “AntMan” as a magic consultant and designer, and is co-creator of the IDW comic series Smoke and Mirrors.

His magical journey began at the age of six, leading to early national acclaim. As a young performer, he had the distinct honor of spending over two years studying directly under the legendary master of sleight-of-hand, Tony Slydini. This foundational training launched a decorated competitive career, during which Clark won the Society of American Magicians’ World Class Stage Contest (1988) and received a nomination for Stage Magician of the Year by the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood (1994).

He later won the CBS-televised World Magic Award for “Best Classical Magic Act” (2000), cementing his status as a master of traditional, high-caliber illusion. In 2020, he further solidified his legacy by appearing on the hit television series Penn & Teller: Fool Us, where he successfully baffled the legendary duo with an incredibly clean, masterful routine that earned him the coveted “Fooler” trophy.

His one-man show “Handcrafted Mysteries” has appeared in numerous locations, including it’s current weekly residency at The Claremont Forum Bookstore. The show is highly interactive and features Greg’s original pieces of magic.

Your evening of magic and mystery!

Get ready to unlock a full evening of magical entertainment for your enjoyment. Our unique venue provides you the opportunity to see multiple types of magic in a single evening. You’ll be dazzled by our ambient, strolling magicians while you enjoy a refreshing beverage. Entering our 150-seat theater, you’ll see even more magicians dazzle you with mind-bending illusions on our grand 54-foot stage. And to finish out your enchanting evening, our intimate Court Room space hosts a formal close up show — a unique format rarely seen outside the Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Join us and find out why we are Santa Monica’s Most Magical Experience!

Upgrade for our exclusive VIP Experience

Looking to get the most out of your magical evening? We offer a limited number of VIP Experiences for each show. You’ll start off your VIP Experience with a welcome glass of champagne (or non-alcoholic alternative) and enjoy our strolling magic with other guests. When it’s time to head into the theater, we’ve reserved the best seats for our VIP’s Experience. And for our unique formal close-up show, you’ll once again have reserved seats waiting for you. Simply put, this is the best way to experience a magical evening out in Downtown Santa Monica.

NOTE: We have limited VIP availability to preserve the quality of the VIP Experience.

About our Performers

Greg VanHolsbeck

https://www.gvmagic.com

Greg VanHolsbeck has been fascinated with magic and illusion since he discovered a Marshall Brodien magic kit at ten years old.

As a shy, quiet kid he was by no means a “born entertainer” or the life of the party, but this fascination quickly turned to an obsession as Greg collected piles of books and absorbed everything he could on the subject of prestidigitation.

Fifteen years later, VanHolsbeck has made a career out of his obsession by creating his own opportunities in Southern California.

His one-man show “Handcrafted Mysteries” has appeared in numerous locations, including it’s current weekly residency at The Claremont Forum Bookstore. The show is highly interactive and features Greg’s original pieces of magic.

Greg believes in bringing innovation and creativity to the art of magic with every performance.
