Meet Javi Benitez
Hailing from the historic city of Seville, Spain, Javi Benítez is a FISM World Champion in Close-Up Magic and one of the most poetic, masterful sleight-of-hand artists performing today. His magic is deeply rooted in the legendary Spanish School—blending elegance, structure, emotion, and technical brilliance into unforgettable experiences.
After stunning audiences on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Penn & Teller declared him:
“The best sleight-of-hand artist we’ve ever seen.”
His Fool Us performances have earned millions of views worldwide, and in recent years he has become a standout presence in the American magic scene—receiving standing ovations at Magic Live! (Las Vegas) and Magifest (Columbus, Ohio).
Javi has also performed exclusive engagements for elite private clients in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago, bringing bespoke magical artistry to sophisticated audiences.
A proud member of the Magic School of Madrid, Javi is also a respected teacher and lecturer, sharing the heart, theory, and philosophy behind the Spanish tradition of magic. His performances are not just tricks—they are deeply artistic expressions that move and inspire.
