Jeanette Andrews

Jeanette Andrews, a magician, artist, and speaker, is hailed as one of the most innovative illusionists in the world today and has staged hundreds of sold-out and standing-room-only performances for Fortune 500 companies and organizations, including Rolex, Johnson & Johnson, The Federal Reserve, Infiniti, Kraft, The Lyric Opera, Soho House and hundreds of others across the country. ​

Andrews presented her first magic performance at age four and was paid to do her first magic show at age six. She began running her business that day, and has never had another job since, now internationally recognized as a pioneer in her field. Andrews uses sensory anomalies, art, and scientific anecdotes to create luxurious experiences that bridge everyday life to a special, heightened world. She loves creating experiences for audiences to engage with the impossible in fun, insightful, and generous ways.

Andrews is also an acclaimed speaker, presenting with MIT, the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt, Chicago Ideas, corporations, and universities (including Columbia and Harvard Law School’s Petrie Flom Center) and conferences across the country. She has been an artist-in-residence for High Concept Labs in Chicago, The Institute for Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles, CultureLAB LIC in New York City, and the University of Houston’s Mitchell Center. Andrews is a 2023/2024 National Arts Club Fellow and also an Alumnus Affiliate of MetaLab (at) Harvard. Illusion is Andrews’ life’s work, and her performances have been praised by the Chicago Tribune, PBS, and the New York Times.
