James Chan - Magician & Juggler
Bay Area Magician and Juggler - James Chan
James Chan is a charming magician and juggler whose talent is only surpassed by his effervescent personality. At only ten years old, he has learned to balance school, family time and being a 'kid' with a passionate commitment to perfecting his craft. For James, a typical day includes several hours of practicing and rehearsing, under the watchful direction of his dad, Master Magician, Dan Chan. James Chan has also trained at the San Francisco Circus Center in clowning, stilting, acrobatics and more! Performing regularly at local functions, libraries, grand openings, festivals- even high profile corporate events in Silicon Valley, has allowed this young magician to slowly build a reputation for being one of the top family entertainers in the Bay Area. James' short-term goal is to perform at the White House one year for the Easter Egg Roll.

" The highlight of the show was definitely Dan's boy, James. It is that cute father-son act I tell you. He did great in the actual show, especially at the end but I don't want to ruin the surprise. I still don't get it and I probably never will. Yay for little James!" Amy H. 9/15/2015 Yelp Review for Bay Area's Most Popular Dinner Show
"I love watching James on stage." Jeff Raz, Cirque du Soleil Casting Partner
