Interactive Magic in Philadelphia

Not long ago, The Trade Desk, Inc. brought in Jesse Dameron to perform at their client appreciation event in Philadelphia.

Jesse opened with a brief message about how life can feel chaotic, even when there’s more order beneath the surface. Then he invited an audience member on stage.

From the start, a Rubik’s Cube sat on a table in full view. Jesse never went near it or touched it the entire time.

A second Rubik’s Cube was handed to the volunteer, who scrambled it thoroughly. The mixed pattern represented the “chaos” we think we’re seeing.

Then, without ever approaching the cube that had been sitting in plain sight, Jesse revealed that both cubes matched perfectly.

Although there were gasps in awe, the message behind it inspired them to not let perceived chaos overwhelm them.

That was one example of Jesse's appearances in Philadelphia, but Jesse is well acquainted with many of Philadelphia, PA’s major event spaces, including Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown. Let's dive into more examples of where Jesse's entertainment transpired in Philadelphia:

  • Hired by JLL to perform for CoreNet Global Summit event at The Logan Hotel (Logan Square)
  • Hired to entertain guests in Millennium Hall, the ballroom at Loews Philadelphia Hotel, for Bancroft’s signature annual fundraiser, the Butterfly Ball.
  • Performed for CPHI Conference held at Pennsylvania Convention Center
  • Booked by University of Pennsylvania for an on-campus alumni event
  • Performed for a bat mitzvah inside of The Foundry at The Fillmore (stage format and walk-around format)
  • Hired to entertain attendees at ACI Concrete Conference held at Philadelphia Marriott Downtown (event occupied both 4th and 5th floors in their entirety)
  • Hired to deliver customized mentalism and a short sales keynote at Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue (Garden Ballroom)
  • Presented magic at Chron's & Colitis Foundation's fundraiser at Citizens Bank Park
  • A luxury event planner hired Jesse to entertain guests for a milestone birthday party at Ballers ("Turf Field" room on 1st Floor while A/V team controlled audio from 2nd Floor)
  • Booked for accounting company's kickoff held at Harper's Garden (part of Rittenhouse Square)
  • Jesse was hired by Sub Zero, Wolf, and Cove to do magic & mentalism directly inside of their showroom at Philadelphia Navy Yard. (It was part of a marketing event.)
  • Delivered a stage show for a destination family reunion held at Barclay Prime's private dining room
  • Performed for Simon's Fund signature annual gala, "Simon's Soirée," at Fitler Club (Market Street)

What Makes Jesse Stand Out?

Why Fortune 500 companies and event planners trust Jesse to entertain their audiences.

Greater Philadelphia hosts a steady stream of gala-style events—driven by its financial-services hub, life sciences / biopharma presence, and a nonprofit economy (Pew reports $48.5B in total nonprofit revenue), which creates consistent demand for premium entertainment. That’s why Jesse’s interactive magic and mentalism is designed to break the ‘same-old gala’ pattern and create the moment guests remember after the speeches.

Jesse's interactive magic and mentalism adapts seamlessly across Philadelphia's diverse event landscape. He's performed at the Liberty Award Gala fundraiser at Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia and at a corporate event at Platform Thirty at Beat Street Nation, demonstrating his ability to create memorable moments whether your gala is at a casino entertainment complex, historic hotel ballroom, contemporary event space, or distinctive Philadelphia venue.

Hilarious, Clean Humor

No need to worry about off-color jokes or uncomfortable moments. Jesse's content is funny, inclusive, and makes every guest feel comfortable and respected.

Total Audience Engagement

Every attendee becomes part of the show; no one is left passively watching. Jesse's performances thrive on direct participation, creating memorable moments for all.

Proven Track Record

With over 2,000 presentations under his belt, Jesse delivers consistent, high-impact entertainment that event planners trust and guests rave about.
