About Me

James Kaine is a 22 year old magician who has been into magic for only a year and a half. He enjoyed magic as a kid, growing up he would always be entertained by magic either on tv or seeing it live but he never thought about performing it until something changed that, it would change the course of his life forever. James is an amazing new talent; he will astound you with what he does. His kind of magic is called “Close up” or nowadays “Street” because it is performed right in front of the spectator’s faces. The street is his stage; he’s a man without smoke and mirrors which is why James’ loves performing in bars, clubs, parties or anywhere he can.
Over the past year and a half he has developed the art of magic because it enhances his audiences' minds, through the surprise and mystery it creates. Their mind lets go of reality for a brief moment, making them question what they just saw. His magic broadens the limitations of their mind, making them forget everything negative about their life.
James has worked hard for the past year and a haf to create an art form that would please him and hopefully in turn please others. He hopes the people can appreciate and sense his work ethic and his passion. He has traveled across Connecticut… sharing his special skill… a talent of wonder and intrigue… the mystery of magic. James' magic is in your face… pure and undeniable, there’s no admission charge, no barriers… no rules, ordinary people, extraordinary magic.
"For those who believe, no explanation is necessary… For those who do not none will suffice."
Even with the short career so far of practicing magic, James Kaines's magic acts have caught the attention of his peers:
“I am not a believer in magic but when James Kaine showed me I just could not figure it out, definitely kept my attention.” Bart Nowotynski “You better not have lice, 'cause you'll be scratching your head for days.” Andrew Reyna
Now, James is working with Michael Paul as his Creative Design for the Michael Paul Magic Creative Team. Working together will be great for both of them, Michael is mentoring James to become "phenomenal" as Michael said. And James is doing everything that Michael can't do because he is busy, working the site, creating a fan base, making flyer's, organizing upcoming shows. If you need to information about Michael Paul, please feel free to contact James at [email protected]

I'd like to meet:

James would love to meet David Blaine, Derren Brown, and Criss Angel, three of the most popular street performers out there right now. They inspire James to work harder for his dream to become a reality so just maybe he can get what they got from the art of magic.

Basically any street performer or stage performer out there... any magician can help better his skills

Heroes:

First off James would like to mention, Michael Paul, a great close-up magician. He was James' first street/close-up magician he ever saw perform live. He inspires James to get his act together and take magic seriously. He taught James so much from tricks to illusions to the ability to perform msgic in front of strangers. Thank you Michael. To this day, James goes to Michael's shop in Indian Orchard, Mass. as much as he can, just to get inspired more. Visit www.michaelpaulmagic.com for infomation.

And, of course, any magician who made their dream come true. David Blaine, Derren Brown, Criss Angel, Dynamo, Cyril, David Copperfield, Lance Burton, Daniel Garcia, Wayne Houchin, Andrew Mayne, and of course Harry Houdini, plus many more.
