Jamy Ian Swiss

According to post-modern magic stars Penn and Teller, Jamy Ian Swiss makes one understand what a terrifying art form pure sleight of hand can be. He has performed internationally for presenters ranging from Fortune 500 companies to the Smithsonian Institution. His television appearances include 48 Hours on CBS, the PBS documentary The Art of Magic, PBS Nova, Comedy Central, and repeat appearances on The Today Show on NBC. He is the author of Shattering Illusions, a collection of essays, and The Art of Magic, the companion book to the PBS documentary. In a profile in The New Yorker, Adam Gopnik writes, Swiss is thought to have one of the most masterly sleight-of-hand techniques in the world today... like seeing Yo-Yo Ma."
