Jared Kopf performs magic and interprets symbols from all over the world. Sometimes, he and a company of wizards create practical effects for theatrical productions, films, and television shows such as Red Thread, A Ghost Story, Light From Light, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, and National Geographic’s Breakthrough. Other times, he pretends to be someone else on a stage or in a movie. Occasionally, he writes books and articles on the philosophy of magic and the methods of stage conjuring. Once, in Changchun, he found the Philosopher’s Stone and turned lead into gold. He lives in Dallas, Texas with his wife Elayna Mitchell and their son Martin.
