Lecturer profile

Jacob Schenström

VerifiedFounding Lecturer

Malmö, SwedenInstagram

He is a sleight-of-hand virtuoso from Malmö, specializing in intimate little miracles with cards, coins, and whatever objects happen to be within reach. In 2014, he won the Swedish Close-up Magic Championship, and the following year he repeated the achievement by becoming Nordic Champion. In 2022, he represented Sweden at the World Championship of Magic, where he won the silver medal in Micromagic. Jacob is best described as a stylish lounge lizard (albeit one with a passion for nature and skiing), whose disarmingly nice-guy appearance allows him to charm the pants off his audiences while leaving them utterly baffled.
