Meet the Performers

John-Carlos “JC” Ynostroza

Performer, Creator, Magic Historian

Named one of the top junior magicians in the world by the International Brotherhood of Magicians, JC trained under noted magic historian Robert Albo and helped curate and transfer one of the most complete collections of magical antiquities on earth to David Copperfield’s museum in Las Vegas. A Stanford graduate whose studies centered on the history of magic and on Houdini himself, he has performed on stages around the world. He holds membership in the Academy of Magical Arts at the Magic Castle and in the Society of American Magicians, the organization Houdini once led as president.

Ninette Terhart

Co-Headliner, Staging and Aerial Spectacle

Ninette is the company’s co-headliner and the force behind its staging and aerial spectacle. She founded and performed with a premier aerial-arts production company, delivering high-end shows for major venues and corporate clients, and has starred in her own live productions and built shows for theme-park stages. Her command of choreography, staging, and large-scale live performance is the engine that turns each illusion into a moment in the room. Together, she and JC are the performance core the franchise is built around.

More of the company joins as the world grows.
