Jacques le Sueur :: Master Magician

Official page of Jacques le Sueur It’s always been a part of my life, a language with which to express myself, a meditation while I was on the road.

I’ve spent the bulk of my life traveling the world as a magician, entertaining at events everywhere from Presidential banquets to shows for child soldiers in the jungles of Central Africa. It’s been an adventure, taking me through well over 50 countries…

My grandfather was one of the official artists for the South African Air Force and I spent my early childhood sitting at his table watching him

paint and draw. As the world has changed, so has my focus and now my artwork has become my main source of income and inspiration. Overall, I’m self-taught, with a strong influence from the Old Masters of the Renaissance as well as a good dose of the Russian Academy of Art. I’m fascinated by light, shadow and form, how the world is pieced together and interpreted by the eye. I tend to draw mostly portraits and wildlife – the magic for me is trying to capture the souls, life in their eyes, in my ink. On that note: although I’m continuously exploring techniques in graphite, charcoal, silverpoint and the like, the bulk of my work is in pen and ink. It’s an unforgiving medium which allows me much detail which I enjoy thoroughly. I do sell original pieces but the large part of my art business is selling limited-edition fine art prints of my work. I’m proud of the work I do and to have my artwork in collections of people who inspire me. I believe beauty, magic and wondrous things surround us, if we only choose to look. And I hope to capture some of that in my artwork. Thanks for exploring my work and get in touch if you want to bounce ideas around with me.

Mission. I'm about to teach my buddy Zackary the basics of magic, creating him a little show he can do for friends and family...

I'll be documenting the process, to put into a short online course launching soon. After he's up to speed I'll be bringing 10 people onboard to tighten the edges, check through any details I've missed, cover blindspots I may have missed first time around.

If you're keen to be one of those initial ten, hit me up in the comments below.

Andiamo. 🔥

My fire is back in solid flames. I've polished up a new show recently, targeted for dinner parties. An evening of kick-in-the-nuts good magic, the best of the stuff I've seen over the last 30 years. Been flighting it at parties around town and response has been movingly beautiful. Ready to be launched proper soon. Proud of where it's evolved to.

A successful fundraising event with the Rainbow Academy. A non profit school of performing arts and business, they're training up some incredible young shows into the theatre world. We'll be collaborating on a few projects in the coming year. Thank you Imke Du Toit and Godfrey Johnson for getting me on board.

Shifting gears. My passion has always been close-up magic at dinnner parties and that's where I'm pushing solid energy over the coming months. I've travelled 50+ countries collecting some gems which I've finally polished into a new show. The sleight-of-hand that blows MY mind. I'm going to be selective about the gigs I take on, but if you'd like to share something extraordinary at your next celebration: www.jacqueslesueur.com

Corporate year-end parties are currently main focus, but rolling hard on all fronts. If you know of a kids party on the radar, swing it. Let's blow some little ninja minds. ❤🤗

Planning a year-end event?

Consider magic as after-dinner entertainment. It's fun, it's interactive, it will have everyone coming up thanking you for an amazing evening. And it's good clean fun, you can plug it into any venue.

Dates are filling up, so get in gear I'd you'd like to get on board. PM me and I'll send you full details. Let's make some amazing. 😁❤
