Jeff Hobson is one of the most in-demand comedy magicians working today. His refreshing and clever mix of comedy and magic has brought him back for repeat performances all over the world.

Hobson has won numerous awards for his skills. Among the most recent is his Stage Magician of the Year award given by the Academy of Magical Arts aka The Magic Castle in Hollywood, California . He was also given the Best Comedy Magic award by the International Magic Awards Association as well as an award of Best Magic Review by the World Magic Awards for his role as star and producer of the critically acclaimed Carnival of Wonders show at the Reno Hilton Hotel and Casino in Reno, Nevada.

His television appearances includeHBO, Showtime's Comedy Club Network, Fox Family's Masters of Illusion, NBC's World's Greatest Magic as well as the star of Thames Television's Magic Comedy Strip a 16 week television series in England.

He is a favorite entertainer to many of the Fortune 500 companies. He has an uncanny ability to break the ice and allow everyone to enjoy themselves with his program of audience participation, comedy, magic and even fire eating! During his performance, Hobson tip-toes his way throughout the audience teasing the crowd. As his finale', Hobson returns a dozen wristwatches that were stolen? during the show to the surprise, laughter - and often times - shock of the audience members!

Hobson in Las Vegas
Hobson introduction to Las Vegas started with an audition at the famed comedy club, Catch a Rising Star at Bally's Casino. This audition turned into numerous return headline engagements.

In 1993, Hobson joined the cast of Spellbound at Harrah's Casino. This run lasted over four years including being the only act held over by request of casino management during a mid-contract show change.

After a three-year hiatus that took Hobson to Reno to produce and star in the critically-acclaimed magic production show called, Carnival of Wonders, he came back home to become the "Host of Las Vegas". Since then, he has starred in his own, one-man show, Money and Madness and been the Master of Ceremonies for countless special events and production shows including the World's Greatest Magic Show and V-The Ultimate Variety Show.

In addition to his extensive Las Vegas performances, Hobson travels the world performing countless shows for corporations, organizations and television appearances.
