Andy Jackson is a native of Santa Cruz, California. He first studied magic at six years old, showing various tricks to his family and friends. He soon began designing and constructing his own effects and props, and performed complete magic shows when known as "The Great Whodunit"
 

He and a close neighbor friend invented the world's first Sidewalk Magic Show (similar to a lemonade stand) which drivers and pedestrians would stop by and pay .50₵ to see a few tricks.

He further honed his skills reading books by the master magicians and watching magic videos. At Cabrillo College, he studied Theatre Arts and showmanship, including: acting, improv, choir, dance, makeup, costuming, props, set design, lighting, audio. The photos you see on the sides were of Andy playing other costumed characters for children (no longer for hire). 

Andy worked at the House of Humor magic and novelty store in Mountain View, Ca. where he would demonstrate each of the magic effects for customers.

In 2001, he started this professional magic career performing for 100 kids and counselors at Kennolyn Camp in Soquel, Ca. "Andar The Sorcerer" was created, adapted from his name. He expanded to perform magic shows throughout the Bay Area and entertained people of all ages.

In January 2014, he produced, directed, and starred in his own public 2-hour stage magic show titled, An Evening of Magic and Illusion, which ran for three weeks. His magical assistant was Olivia Hallie-Lehrman, an acrobat from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus
 

Andy was Vice President of The Coastal Magicians Club of Santa Cruz County from 2014-2016. 

 

In 2015 and 2024, he auditioned for America's Got Talent.
 

To date, Andy has performed hundreds of shows statewide and has invented
12 original magic effects. Andar The Sorcerer performs magic regularly for your special events and parties.

TRAVINA TORRES, HAPPY HOLLOW PARK & ZOO

"We recently had the pleasure of booking Andar the Sorcerer for a special event at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, and the experience was nothing but magical! Andar's performance not only brought enchantment to the stage but also created an atmosphere of wonder and unforgettable moments for families inside the park. I couldn't help but overhear the delighted gasps and excitement from our guests, with numerous 'ooo' and 'ahh' moments. It was evident that Andar had successfully created an atmosphere of pure enchantment for children in the audience.

Equally impressive was Andar's interactive approach with the audience. Actively engaging with our guests, Andar brought special volunteers to the stage, adding an extra layer of excitement and making the event even more memorable. The connection established with the audience created an inviting atmosphere, turning the performance into a shared experience for both children and adults.

If you're looking to add a touch of magic and fun to your event, Andar the Sorcerer is the option for you."
