Jordane Dewost
born on October 21, 1989
More than 15 years ago, Jordane left his original trade to become a full-time professional magician.
One encounter led to another, and today Jordane appears on television and performs in prestigious venues, for luxury brands, in trendy Parisian restaurants, in villas around the world, on yachts, and for the stars who come to enjoy the most exclusive spots in Saint-Tropez every summer.
Want to know how it all began?
No coincidence
Jordane played soccer from a very young age, so naturally he wanted to become a professional player. But a knee injury kept him out of the sports academy, even though he had passed every athletic test with flying colors.
On his teacher's advice, Jordane turned to a more traditional career.
He chose to become an electrician.
A life-changing encounter
Jordane earned a vocational diploma in electrical engineering at Lycée Jehan de Beauce in Chartres, then pursued his high school diploma through an apprenticeship in Orléans, where he made THE encounter that would literally change his life.
The night of his 18th birthday
That evening, Jordane's whole family had gathered to celebrate his birthday — but it was his boss, an electrician who had also been invited, who would change everything!
During the party, his boss Stéphane decided to show him a card trick. Of course, Jordane had seen magic on TV before, but this time he had a front-row seat.
It just made sense
Having already taught him the electrician's trade and much more, Stéphane went on to teach him his very first magic tricks.
After 8 months of intensive practice, and after watching every DVD by the magician of the world's greatest cabaret: Bernard Bilis.
After practicing on every member of his family and all his friends, Jordane took the plunge and landed his first professional gigs.
Becoming a magician
His first performances were for the guests of the Hippopotamus restaurant in Olivet, who could enjoy Jordane's magic every other Friday — and soon every Friday.
But the electrician's trade no longer suited Jordane, so before becoming a full-time professional magician,
Jordane became a sales advisor at SFR, a French telecom company.
In retail, free Saturdays are rare — yet Jordane needed them to perform as a magician at weddings.
Jordane quit his job to live from the passion that drives him, and his efforts were quickly rewarded!
