Performance by Cameron Brow
Cameron Brow is a prominent magician and mentalist based in Spokane. Highly regarded in the Pacific Northwest magic community, he is celebrated for blending sleight-of-hand tricks, hypnotism, and mind-reading to create intimate, engaging performances. Cameron took first place in the 2022 Spokane Magic Club Close-Up Contest, cementing his reputation as a top-tier sleight-of-hand artist. He frequently features in large-scale regional productions, such as 2024’s “Confusium: Comedy, Magic & Illusions” show at the Bing Crosby Theater. Cameron holds a regular performance slot providing weekend tableside magic at Shawn O’Donnell’s Irish Pub in Spokane. Rather than basic tricks, his mentalism acts often focus on hypnotism and helping audience members uncover hidden talents and thoughts. We’re thrilled to host him as the JFS Luncheon’s first-ever guest magician!

Reading and Q&A with Scott Eubanks
