KEVIN JAMES
FROM:
Las Vegas, Nevada
KEVIN JAMES needs no introduction. Born in France, to american parents Darrell and Mary Lou. His father was a USAF rescue helicopter and jet fighter pilot, though later the family relocated to the small town of Jonesville, Michigan, where Kevin grew up. He was interested in the art of magic at a very early age. After studying drama in the Western Michigan University, he moved to Los Angeles where he struggled for several years supporting himself with “strolling” performances at various restaurants and private parties. Since then, Kevin has literally appeared all over the World, touring with his own shows and with THE ILLUSIONIST. AbraCORNdabra has tried for many years to get this incredible artist to the convention, and each time, something else came up that prevented him from coming.
HE IS COMING THIS YEAR!!!

When it comes to internationally known “dove workers” in our art, one name that is always mentioned, Dimmare. James Dimmare performs an elegant act that has been widely acclaimed as unique, creative and simply brilliant. He currently resides in Las Vegas where he has a show called “Dimmare’s Martini’s & Magic” that does not feature his award winning dove act. Instead, James presents a comical, interactive retro-type show that involves audience participation, some silent bits, and lots of talking and even a stage illusion!
Mr. Dimmare will be bringing select gems from his curent show to share with the attendees at AbraCORNdabra!
