Vermont Magician Billy Jamez | Close-Up Magic | Williston VT
Meet Billy Jamez, Vermont's Trusted Close-Up Magician for Airbnb Experiences, Events, and Weddings
Billy Jamez, professional close-up magician and the founder of Vermont Close-Up Magic LLC.
He is not your ordinary event entertainer; he strives to be a gentle master of his craft, pushing boundaries to create unforgettable moments of astonishment with an empathetic, kind, and polite demeanor.
For over 16 years, Billy has specialized in rare close-up, sleight of hand, misdirection, and phycological sleight magic.
Billy ensures that every audience member is always treated with the utmost dignity, humanity, and soul.
The Philosophy: Authentic Magic with Everyday Objects
Billy believes that magic is far more than just a trick. It is a profound connection to our primitive, loving fascination with the mysterious and magical.
In his performances, authenticity and personal connection are everything. One of the unique elements that sets his magic apart is that he frequently creates his own props using ordinary, everyday items.
He often performs with objects borrowed directly from the audience too. When the magic happens with a guest's own belongings, it feels even more impossible and grounded in reality.
Audiences witness the mastery of pure, analog sleight-of-hand and psychological sleights designed to leave a lasting impression.
His art and approach to life is deeply inspired by legendary performers and souls like:
- Fred McFeely Rodgers (Mr. Rodgers)
- Tommy Wonder
- Robin Williams
- David Blaine
- Chris Capehart
- Justin Miller
- Billys grandfather, who was a 33rd-degree Mason
The Soul Behind the Magic
Born in 1974 and raised in rural central Vermont, Billy grew up on a dairy farm and a junkyard, learning the deeply rooted values of:
- Resilience
- Intutitive Creativity
- Reuse & Repourposing
- Healing
- Neutrality
- Nature
- FIxing & Creating from nothing
- Synchronicity
- Self Sufficientcy
- Service
- and Spirituality.
Billys commitment to community and service started early; as a teenager, he served as a junior firefighter and a Civil Air Patrol cadet in Berlin, Vermont.
After high school Billy served his country in a special program from 1992 to 1996 in the USAR at Fort Dix, NJ
He also survives and lives with a traumatic brain injury...a unique & appreciated part of his personal journey that only adds to the fun, joy, humanity, and magic he brings to every performance.
Today, at 52 years ago, he is a dedicated family man, a husband of 26 years, and proud father of 2 teens and one freshmen adult.
When he is not preforming, studing, or with his family; Billy shares his time in the elder communities surrounding him with magic, lightness of presence, assistance, and companionship.
Billy believes if we all give some time, talent, and kindship to others...we all feel better, live longer, and feel united.
Because even in all our differences, we all love, eat, and play. That's enough to invite ALL to a celebration of humanity party.
That's Magic we all can do.
