MAKING MAGIC
Simply put, Mark Kalin and Jinger Leigh have redefined the traditional concepts of a “magic show”. Their unique productions have garnered accolades throughout the entertainment industry for their innovative and theatrical approach to magic and show production. Kalin & Jinger were voted magic’s highest honor, Magicians of the Year, by the prestigious Academy of Magical Arts—Hollywood’s Magic Castle. Other recipients include David Copperfield, Criss Angel, Doug Henning, David Blaine and Penn & Teller.
“I’m not a fan of magic shows,
but this is very differenT“
New York Daily News
In 2012 the duo began a long time association with Simon Painter and The Works Entertainment, producer of the largest touring magic shows in the world today. Initially hired as performers, Kalin and Jinger soon expanded their roles to include all aspects of show production and illusion design.

Mark Kalin
Mark Kalin wanted to be a puppeteer until one day, at age 9, when he looked on a shelf at the library and found a book on magic. “I enjoyed the puppets, but the idea of magic really intrigued me. I tried to do a few tricks and found out it was something that I could master”.
Jinger Leigh
A modern sorceress in a very ancient art, Jinger has earned fans around the world becoming the first female magician to star in The Illusionists, the nations largest live touring magic show, and in 2016, the first female magician to appear onstage in Broadway history.
