Johnny Ace Palmer

Johnny Ace Palmer (b. 1960) is an award-winning American close-up magician.

Biography

Palmer was born in Warren, Ohio, in the early 1960s and attended Kent State University in Ohio in the late 1970s and early '80s. He came to magic early in life, and as a teenager, performed a stage act with his sister. In college, he majored in both theater arts and psychology.

Throughout the 1980s, Palmer entered and competed in a large number of American magic competitions, culminating in his first-place wins at the annual convention of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the annual convention of the Society of American Magicians.

Then he set his sights on international goals, entering FISM, in 1988. He presented a 10-minute act that was one of the first competition acts to utilize stage techniques in a closeup setting. One routine for which he became known was a version of the Cups & Balls in which the final load is three live baby chicks.
