logo Jered The Incredible is from the small town of Anchorage, Alaska.  He was born in December, 1972; the oldest of what would soon be four children.  Magic would soon become a part of his life after one freezing Boy Scout camping trip.

Everyone was huddled around the campfire trying to stay warm, when the Camp Leader pulled out a handkerchief and asked everyone to gather in.  He proceeded to vanish small objects into seemingly thin air and then, reproduce them from anywhere or was it nowhere.  Amazed by what he saw, he asked him where he could learn to do the same.  In return for his interest, he was given a worn catalog from Tannen’s Magic Shop.

At the age of 21, Jered was still just a magic hobbyist and struggling to stay entertained with the small town he grew up in.  Deciding to join the Air Force, he was whisked off to Texas for a short time and then, off to California, where he would find his first magic shop on the wharf in Monterey.

Jered had finally gotten the magic bug, when he was transferred to Tucson, Arizona.  Here is where he would finally begin to learn the “art of magic”.  His first lessons came from one of Tucson’s great magicians’, Bruce Martyn.  Over the next few years, with the help of his fellow magicians, he would get his first job performing for the Y.M.C.A.  It was only a small charity event, but the rush of performing became an obsession. 

Jered is a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and has dazzled audiences in numerous magical functions supporting the organization, including monthly close-up performances at the Gas Light Theater and the yearly “Stars of Magic” at the TCC Leo Rich Theater.  He has performed for a long list of Arizona clients:  TGI Friday’s, Windsong Village, American Copper Council, and the Westin La Paloma Resort, just to name a few.

Because of the Military, Jered was able to travel to Panama, the native country of his beautiful wife Thelma, and had several opportunities to unite with magicians from Panama City.  In 1999, the magicians of Círculo Mágico Mago Chang, IBM Ring 331, presented him with a plaque thanking him for his friendship, and his devotion and loyalty to the magic art.

In 2001, Jered was sent to Alconbury, England where he lived for 3 years performing magic as often as the military would allow him time to do so.  In 2004, the Air Force moved him to his current residence of Bellevue, Nebraska where he will continue performing magic for anyone who will take the time to watch it.
