Magic Stories

Amazing Jeffo is Amazing

 

WCCO Channel 4 in Minneapolis has a nice piece about a pretty nice guy doing nice deeds.  Jeff Smith is also known as ?The Amazing Jeffo? and his magic is also known as ?helping others find the magic within them.?

 

Mr. Smith has been performing magic since he was a young one but turned professional at the age of 14.  As he grew in his abilities and expanded his professional career, he suffered the progressive loss of his sight.  By the time he turned 25, Mr. Smith was blind.  Rheumatoid Arthritis struck his body hard but his love for performing magic helped him survive with a positive outlook.  

 

“I think it’s been a therapy for me over the years to come out of my shell and share some of the insights or perceptions of someone who has seen and now is blind and has gone through some other sorts of experiences in my life.”

 

His work is not simply therapy, however.  His act is as mainstream as any sighted magician.  “I try to play off of the novelty of my blindness. I try to expose them to the fact that we have a lot in common more than we are different.?

 

Mr. Smith performs several types of shows, including corporate, schools, parties, and even teaches classes.
