Grand Prize Winner
2026 Portland Magic Jam
Charles Schneider took first place at the 2026 Portland Magic Jam contest with a mind-blowing card effect that left the audience’s jaws dropping, earning high praise from Richard Turner, who was in attendance and recognized as one of the world’s most illustrious card magicians and technically gifted card cheats of all time.
Portland Magic Jam is a Pacific Northwest magic convention that brings together magicians of all levels for lectures, performances, workshops, networking, and a competition that highlights originality, technical skill, presentation, and overall impact, with a special emphasis on close-up and parlor magic.
"For the past 30 years as a working magician, I rarely write reviews for my peers. Only when I can give my unreserved, wholehearted endorsement is when I can sincerely write a review. Charles is that rare exception.
Having seen his show in person, I was genuinely impressed. His warm demeanor, flawless delivery, and effortless connection with children are remarkable. It's the kind of experience every audience deserves.
Whether you're booking a family show, a children's birthday party, or a private event, I cannot recommend Charles highly enough. Fantastic work!"
