Get to Know Jeff & Tessa Evason
When Magic Meets Mind Reading
Tessa and Jeff discovered their love for magic at an early age. Tessa spent part of her childhood on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, where she was captivated by the mysteries of tea leaf readers and island folklore. Meanwhile, Jeff’s fascination with magic deepened in high school when his grandfather took him on a Caribbean cruise, where he met Bernard Reid, a professional magician from New Zealand.
After college, Jeff pursued a career as a radio announcer while performing magic on the side. Around the same time, Tessa moved to Canada to study and work part-time as a fashion model. Their paths crossed when a mutual friend, a fashion designer, invited them to perform magic together at a fashion show in Toronto. From that moment on, Jeff and Tessa have been an inseparable team!
masters of second sight
The Evasons are among the rare few in history to have perfected the extraordinary art of Second Sight. Their unparalleled skill has earned them some of the most prestigious honors in their field. They made history as the first mentalists to receive the esteemed Milbourne Christopher Award—often regarded as the Academy Award of magic—joining the ranks of past recipients such as David Copperfield, Harry Blackstone Jr., and Siegfried & Roy. Recognized as The World's Foremost Mentalist Duo, their performances continue to astonish audiences around the globe.
ONE-OF-A-KIND ACT
With appearances in over 40 countries and on major TV specials worldwide, The Evasons have captivated audiences at exclusive events for diplomats, political leaders, and even royal families. They have entertained troops overseas, headlined on luxury cruise ships and in top casino showrooms, and taken the stage at legendary venues, including The Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, The Great American Comedy Festival at the Johnny Carson Theatre, and Hollywood’s world-famous Magic Castle.
They also hold a unique record—The Evasons are the only mentalists in history to perform at NBA halftime shows before live audiences of 20,000 people!
The Evasons made their U.S. national TV debut on The World's Greatest Magic V in 1998 on NBC. Produced by fellow Canadian Gary Ouellet and filmed at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the series featured top magicians from around the world throughout its run from 1994 to 1998.
