Simon Black

On our stage at:

2019

Simon Black is a young magician and cardist from downtown Chicago, the birthplace of intimate close-up magic. He has performed for people from all walks of life, including actors, writers and musicians around the world, and always strives for originality by creating his own effects. Many fellow magicians have handpicked him as a consultant for their performances, among them names like Shin Lim and Asi Wind.

His magic has taken him from huge theatres across China to the world-famous Magic Castle in Los Angeles. Hundreds of magicians worldwide perform his material and thousands of viewers follow his videos on YouTube and Instagram, where moves such as Swivel, Paradigm Shift and BT Change made his name. His style combines a love of magic with a passion for performance art, attractive, entertaining and mind-bending all at once. In his lectures he shares the finest details of palms, lifts, shifts and steals, along with his takes on classics such as Triumph and the Biddle Trick.

He was a guest at the Masters of Magic Convention in 2019.
