If you haven’t seen Jared Hall perform, you are missing out. “Chances are you have seen him and didn’t even know it. He is that good. In my opinion, Jared is the best illusionist on the streets!” says Rob Beckley, front man from the band Pillar.
The Texas-born Illusionist is no newcomer in any since of the word. He started doing illusions at the age of ten and by the time he was in High School he had become known around town as the magic guy. “I would do tricks everywhere I went. I realized that I could get most anyone’s attention with what I was doing, because they could not explain it,” says Jared. God called Jared to ministry while he was a student in high school in Baytown, Texas. While in school, he began using illusions, comedy, and even mind-blowing stunts to capture the attention of students and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them.
Jared's opportunities to share his faith through his illusions increased while he attended college; and presently, he is traveling full-time performing over 150 shows a year. The illusions that Jared performs don't just entertain and capture the attention of audiences, but are great tools to illustrate the message of the Gospel as well. With his ability to captivate the attention of the audience quickly through humor and exciting illusions, Jared appeals to all ages, denominations, and types of people that attend his shows. Those who would normally never set foot inside the church are attracted and interested in an "entertaining magic show." That is what Jared's ministry is all about. Not only is his performance enjoyable and entertaining, it's also evangelistic. This is what makes his ministry unique and effective. This past year, God has opened many doors and has given Jared the opportunity to share his presentation with over 160,000 people.
Jared Hall will keep you on the edge of your seat, unable to look away as he makes audience members float, performs a strait jacket escape, or simply finds your chosen card. There was a time in his life that doing illusions got Jared into detention. Now it gets him into places where otherwise the truth of God might not be taken. Jared uses illusions and comedy to present the gospel in relevant, engaging ways. Traveling extensively across the nation, Jared does shows for many conferences, festivals, outreach events, youth camps, and upward award nights. He has shared the stage with many artist including Jeremy Camp, David Crowder Band, Steven Curtis Chapman, Shane and Shane, Bebo Norman, Building 429, Superchic, Family Force Five, GRITS, Pillar, John Reuben and Leeland.
Jared's message is clear and effective. He has seen thousands of lives touched by God through his ministry. Jared's prayer is that you would partner with his ministry so that many more lost people can hear the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.
“I've had the pleasure of spending quite a bit of time with Jared and have quickly become a HUGE fan of his ministry. He never ceases to amaze me with his ability to seamlessly interweave illusions and comedy with the pure gospel truth. Whether on the stage or just hanging out, his humor and heart make him the life of the party. The most impressive quality that I've found in him is the humility with which he deals with every person. There is no question that Jared is an awesome addition to any event and I would highly recommend him!!!”
