Jay Cristo

Jay Cristo has spent more than eleven years working as a magician and mentalist, specialising in close-up and roving magic built for intimate, interactive performances rather than a stage show at a distance. Interest in magic began at nine years old, sparked by a chance encounter on a family holiday, and has grown into a full performing career built on sleight of hand and mentalism. Jay Cristo has featured in the Melbourne Magic Festival, presenting a solo show called Saint that blends close technical skill with crowd engagement. The work suits guests who want to be drawn into the trick rather than simply watching it happen.
