Wylie spins a tale, and magic ensues
                   Wylie

Jason Wylie has loved magic most of his life. Once upon a time, he was the audience member who performing magicians love so much, the one who is tickled with the thrill of the magic and who deeply experiences the moments of astonishment. In 2004, at the tender age of 32, he decided to become a student of the art and within a few short years was entertaining family and friends with his sleight of hand skills and lighthearted presentation style.

For Wylie, magic is about entertainment and the sense of wonder. Growing up across the pond in Northern Ireland, he was taught the value of the gift of the gab. From Britain to Utah, Wyoming and numerous cities across Texas, Wylie has proven to be the life of the party.  Allow him to brighten up your party and show you magic up close, prestidigitation that will leave you with a smile on your face and asking “So how did he do that?”
