Coppin & Company

If anyone over 30 years ago would have told John Coppin that he would be a professional Magician. He probably would have said yes if the stars are correct and all the other professional magicians die off. Then he would become a professional Magician and Entertainer. But yes today John Coppin is a proficient, highly thought of, Magician and popular entertainer. Originally from Green Bay, WI where he went to Preble High School where a very watchful guidance counselor saw in John a budding performer who just needed the proper guidance. So he was able to convince John to apply for a position at a local Department Store, H.C.Pranges, for a Christmas job where John would be the Magic Magician of Christmas. Well John got the job and saw a new future from a early beginning where a family friend showed him a simple coin vanish and many visits to his local library where he read incessantly all the books the old library had in stock. Now he could use this knowledge to start entertaining people and making the magic happen in public. After the brief engagement at the Department Store John was able to perform quite often in school since the teachers found him able to fill time when there was no real subject to cover they would have John entertain and his talent grew to where he actually started to do small shows locally for many groups and families.

Fast forward to 1980 when John, having graduated with a degree in Marketing/Sales from the local Technical Institute found that using this knowledge would help in making his magic even more marketable so he took on the unenviable job of becoming a professional magician. Thru trial and error and an always increasing want to improve he has grown since that point to the professionalism he radiates today, be it working close up performing with cards, coins and small magic to seeing him perform in front of a very pleased birthday magic show audience to a large group watching him perform is Illusion Show and making the audience believe at least for the length of his show that magic really does exist, if only in their hearts and minds. He has started a very popular series of Magic Classes, both interactive and entertaining, his classes are always fun, magical and fill up quickly.

John has been a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians plus the International Society of Magic and recently made a member of the Academy of Magical Arts; also known as the famous Magic Castle in Hollywood California. He was most recently the president of the local magic club in Madison, WI. He and his wife Carol have just recently moved to Marana to enjoy their lives along with their dog Frito, and plans on many years living here in the Tucson area but will travel anywhere to make magic happen for any group or event
