Eric Roumestan is an internationally awarded winning performer, writer, and speaker. Hailing from France and fluent in 3 languages, he has taken Europe and now the world by storm! At the turn of the millenium he began his journey into the realm of magic and discovered new ways of expressing this subtle art. With music as his first passion, he brings a style and rhythm to each performance and has been dubbed by his peers in prestidigitation as "The Jazz Man of Magic".

His personalized creative style comes from his sense of curiosity, taste for risk, and admiration of the human spirit. Coincidently, these are the same attributes that drive his passion for his original career of firefighter and paramedic. Eric has always had a lot to do with the lives of others, and takes great pride any time he can bring joy and magic into someone's life.

The Jazz Man's specialties are vast. Not limiting himself to one of magic, he thrills the most intimate cabarets to the biggest showcases, finest restaraunts, popular festivals, and progressive trade shows. Early on, Eric sought to ensure each effect in his report would not only solid, but bullet proof. While, he made the stage his new office, festivals became his laboratory and the street his personal experiment. By confronting the most hostile environments, fully surrounded, with unpredictable conditions, Eric is prepped for any audience. He's become known for excellent in situations where impromptu ability becomes a necessity, which for many performers is often the most difficult to master.
