Illusionist & Performance Artist; Expert in Parlor & Sleight-of-Hand Magic; Visiting Artist for MIT
Jeanette Andrews Biography
Jeanette Andrews is an American magician, artist, and speaker known for her specialized expertise in parlor and sleight-of-hand magic. With more than 25 years of study and technical training, Andrews has developed a distinct approach to crafting experiences that incorporate psychological principles, direction of attention and inattention, and the creation of surreal visuals. She presented her first magic performance at age 4, was paid for her first show at age 6, and has since built a career recognized for its exploration of illusion, perception, and the intersection of magic with science, history, and art. The Chicago Reader has noted that her work is "known across the country for infusing her magic with science, history, and art."
Andrews began her career as a professional magician and now primarily collaborates with museums, creating works that explore magic as an expressive medium. Her performances bring together the science of perception, coded messages, and the history of illusion. Drawing on influences such as immersive theater, quantum physics, and philosophy, Andrews has developed a unique perspective on performance magic. She invites audiences to participate in live thought experiments, using everyday objects like glassware, paper, plants, and fabric to investigate perceptual anomalies, expectation violation, and belief. Artnet has described her approach as transforming magic into performance art.
Andrews has staged hundreds of sold-out performances for Fortune 500 companies and organizations including Ferrari, Rolex, Johnson & Johnson, The Federal Reserve, Infiniti, Kraft, The Lyric Opera, and Soho House. She collaborates with museums and galleries to recontextualize magic within the cultural arts, including commissioned works with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, such as "Invisible Museums of the Unseen," later adapted for the Quebec City Biennial. Her body of work "magi.cia.n"—which includes a short film, a sculptural kinesthetically transforming book, and an installation—was commissioned by the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Andrews has explored the relationship between human and machine creativity, re-performed historical magic tricks, and created art inspired by sleight of hand in CIA espionage.
Andrews has been the first magician to receive residencies, grants, and appointments typically reserved for visual artists and researchers. She is a former Affiliate of metaLab at Harvard, a National Arts Club Fellow, and the first magician named a Visiting Artist for MIT. The Elmhurst Art Museum presented "On Wonder, Mind & Magic," an exhibition featuring nine of her works that explore human psyche, perception, memory, and the history of art and performance magic. As a speaker, Andrews has presented at MIT, the Smithsonian's Cooper Hewitt, Chicago Ideas Week, and universities including Columbia and Harvard Law School's Petrie Flom Center. Her performances have been covered by the Chicago Tribune, PBS, and the New York Times.
