As a magician, Jon was a finalist in Season 11 of America’s Got Talent and also chosen for America’s Got Talent: The Champions. “I’ve been doing Magic since I was 13 years old. I dig it. I love magic. I was staying with friends in Woodinville, Washington and their neighbor was a magician. He was a 16-year-old named Michael Groves. That was the first time I had ever seen a magician perform. Cards, coins, sponge balls and fire. What more do you need? Nothing… For me, it’s not just about the magic. Magic is just a tool to develop a relationship with the audience. It’s about having fun and rockin’ a crowd. After I’m done performing, I hope my audience doesn’t think I’m a supernatural human. I hope they leave blown away and say to themselves, ‘That was just cool.’ Because for me, that’s what magic is all about, it’s just cool.”
