Jeffrey Olds is quickly climbing the ranks as one of mid-Michigan’s most popular entertainers. He is affectionately known as “Jeff the Magician.” A name given to him by a childhood friend.
While growing up on the outskirts of Flint, Mich., Jeff fell in love with the art of magic at age seven. He had an uncle who knew a few card tricks that would fascinate Jeff for hours. When he was 10, his parents hired a magician to come to the house to perform his sister’s sixth birthday. That was the turning point for Jeff. “I remember that show like it was yesterday. I sat there mesmerized and saw how much fun the magician was having! Even though part of me still wanted to someday become a doctor or fireman, the idea of becoming a professional magician was born that day.”
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan in 1990 and a Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) degree in Marketing from Michigan State University in 1993, he now runs his own magical entertainment company across the state of Michigan.
