When the Great Jaydini’s in town, magic things start to happen. Children sit amazed and watch in wonder as handkerchiefs disappear and giant bunnies jump out of thin air, and that’s not to mention the Great Jaydini shoe clean, the Great Jaydini suit jacket escape or the unforgettable card socks prediction. The Great Jaydini is, in fact, Jay Wells, a vastly experienced and hugely popular magician and children’s entertainer who has been amazing and bewildering audiences across the Bath, Bristol and Wiltshire region for years.

For Jay it all started as a child who would love to watch his magic and comedy heroes such as Tommy Cooper, Paul Daniles, Harry Houdini, Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers. “As a little boy I wanted to be like them,” recalls Jay. “Even back then and still today, for me the best thing to do was make people laugh and watch them be amazed by something magical.
