About me: Jared is an escape artist, sideshow performer contortionist and magician. With an arsenal of restraints, cards, pointy things, and lollypops he will make you want to close your eyes, yet entice you to watch closer all at the same time!
Jared can be found performing at various variety and burlesque shows throughout the NYC area. He also is available for private events and charities. For booking details contact: Jaredtheconjuror@hotmail.com or send a message here on myspace.
Jared's acts include:
Strait Jacket Escape - Intense and very real, Jared's escapes are a painful-yet-inticing feat of contortion. All restraints are ungimmicked and examinable.
Contortion through a tennis racket- Jared will pass his body through the head of a tennis racquette lengthwise and then horizontally as he places the racquette on one foot and takes it off the other.
Walking on Broken Glass- A bucket full of razor sharp glass is inspected and then poured on stage, Jared will walk across the glass without harm. This is followed by a dangerous leap into the glass off of a chair.
Fire Breathing- A perfect attention-getter giant balls of fire will be blown from Jared's unprotected mouth.
"Animal Trap"- The world's most painful card trick. A magic trick for people that hate magic, Jared will find your card (or maybe not?) All while his hand is clasped inside the jaws of an authentic wolf trap.
"Enterology"- Contortion into a straitjacket. The opposite of escape artistry, Enterology is a rarely performed and incredibly strenuous form of contortion. Jared is one of very few performing Enterologists, this is an amazing act you likely will never see again.
"Blockhead", a romantic comedy- A strange and original variation of a classic sideshow routine involving sticking objects into the nose. Typically performed with a hammer and nail, Jared does this routine unlike any other.
Contact Juggling- Crystal ball manipulation.
Magic- Typically void from Jared's performances, but available by special request for commercial work or one-on-one tutoring. Jared has a long history in the art of sleight of hand.
Jared is the producer of the Evil Burlesque and Variety Show, Vicious Vaudeville!

I'm good. I got really busy, then stopped being really busy - just in time for the holidays. I've got some auditions coming up...always fun! Keep in touch!
Hey Mister, you've got a lot of nerve thinking you can just barrel on to my site, snap your fingers and become an immediate top friend. Obviously you're a dude used to getting what he wants. I've made you a topfriend, but it's probationary. Taste the friendship! But don't take too big a bite!. Bask in the elite gallery of my top friends. Mingle. Vamp. Luxuriate. For now. I wouldn't get too chummy though.
Hey I'm gonna try and come to your show!!!! I don't have a job right now so I can't spend much but I'm still gonna try and make it. Hope all is well with you!
Happy Halloween! You don't know how cool it is for me to see friends comments on your page. I'm so glad you came Friday night and glad your show is at Galapagos - cool place! Talk soon..
