About me:
Jonathan Pendragon is one of only five contemporary performers named in 100 Most Influential Magicians of All Time in Magic Magazine. Charlotte Pendragon is the most honored woman in the history of the art form. She was voted into England's famed Inner Magic Circle; amazing because she is an American and no woman had ever received this honor in the 100 plus years of the organization. Charlotte was the first woman to receive "The Magician of the Year Award" from the famed Magic Castle. Together The Pendragons have won the prestigious award twice, a feat that only four other living magicians have accomplished.
The Pendragons have entertained audiences in theaters and on television in over 50 countries. They have starred in 14 prime time magic specials on NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, PBS, Disney, Showtime, The Family Channel, VH1, E Entertainment and on CNN's Showbiz Today. They have made more international television appearances than any magician in history. On a recent edition of NBC's World's Greatest Magic, Jonathan and Charlotte closed the show by making 25 showgirls vanish on stage at Caesars Palace. They have made several appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. They played a prominent role in the three-hour-long PBS special, The Art of Magic.
The Pendragons enjoy creating innovative ways to perform. For PBS television they performed with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, presenting illusions to classical music. For Universal Studios they wrote, directed and starred in a special nighttime magical illusion spectacular, Illusions of the Night, which played to more than one million people. The special gained the reputation as Universal's most successful live show ever.
Jonathan constantly works on new illusions and is famous among his peers for being a consummate entertainer. David Copperfield stated on stage, "When the history of magic is written, Jonathan Pendragon will be remembered as one of its most creative performers." An NBC Executive Producer, who has produced 14 magic specials for NBC and ABC, often has Jonathan assist in front of and behind the camera. In fact the executive stated, "If anyone can bring something original to magic, it's Jonathan Pendragon."
Jonathan and Charlotte met at the University of California, Irvine. Jonathan graduated with a degree in theater and Charlotte in dance. They were married soon after and reside in Shell Beach, California. They are truly the world's most magical couple.
Jonathan was chosen by MAGIC Magazine as one of only ten living magicians whose work shaped magic in the 20th and 21st centuries. However, the honor which Jonathan cherishes the most is the award he received from Washington D.C.’s Lab School. Every year three Americans are honored by the school for overcoming the hardships of conditions such as dyslexia, ADD, severe speech impediments, and other learning disabilities. Those so honored make up a Who's Who of film stars, sports legends, scientists, statesmen,and soldiers. Tom Cruise, Cher and Magic Johnson are among the other recipients. Jonathan received the award for battling his severe childhood speech impediments; so much so that he has now become known as a magician renowned for his articulate “narratives of mystery.
Blessed Love May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on an others judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved. I am honored to call you my friend!
Hi Jonathan, Wanted to wish you and Charlotte a very happy new year. I've been a fan of your magic since I saw the World's Greatest Magic series on TV. I've been keeping an eye out for live performances (Ghosts of Broadway & Magic performances) for the past two years, then today read about the accident. Glad you are recovering/recovered? What are your plans for this year?
THANK YOU for writing back so quickly!?! I am honored!!!! A) I hope you are recovering well from the accident (OUCH! I prayed hard for you...) B) I felt you got ripped off on "America's Got Talent" - YOU SHOULD HAVE WON!!! C) Christmas biz is slow this year (I understand it is slow for everyone...):o( D) My personal wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year to you and Charlotte!
If you ever get to Las Vegas, please let me know - I would dearly love to take you both out for a "Terribles Buffet" on me! (It's not the finest buffet in town, but it's good...) :o) "Tiny"
