| Tonight Jim Pace was in the house teaching the Grand Illusions peeps some outrageous close-up and stand-up magic. In fact, Jim’s style stands out in that respect as most of his effects can be performed tableside but also play very large. He started out with a three-coin production and vanish called “Punishment” and oh it was appropriately named. We were all smacked down by the amazingly visual nature of Jim’s moves and designs. Although his scripting was great, the routine was so visual that it could easily be performed in a noisy restaurant. |  |
 | Following came a matrix, coin productions, penetrations of clothing without harm…really an amazing variety of different objects and concepts. My favorite? The Magic List – this effect destroyed me and I’ve been using it to put the beat-down on all of my magic pals here at Grand Illusions. Thanks, Jim…this one alone was worth the price of admission. |
| Then came the fire. Oh, yes…the fire. Jim has an array of professional fire gimmicks that dazzled and shocked everyone in attendance. We we’re all like little kids on Independence Day. Wow, hot stuff! (sorry) Offstage and on Jim is smooth, charming and personable. You can’t help but like the guy and want to share in the magic. His magic is immensely practical and well thought out and his teaching style is fun and friendly. If you have a chance to learn from Jim…take it. |  |
