The Great Jarvis was a professional magician for over fifty years in the United States.
Jarvis got his start in magic by working in the Grand Theatre in West Virginia where he got to meet magicians such as Kellar, Le Roy, Talma and Bosco,Alexander Herrmann and Ed Reno. He was inspired to have his own ‘ ‘road show” at the age of nine, traveling on his bike, with his cigar box full of “equipment,” to perform at one room school houses.
By the age of fifteen, he was established the “Boy Wonder,” billed as “The World’s Youngest Magician,” doing juggling, tap dancing, mind reading, hypnotism, and illusions.
