As you may know Jake has launched a career with not only the local community but the media as well, with his own DVD documentary and multiple newspaper appearances Jake is making quite a buzz. One of his articles (below) is to give a small sample or to find out more information please visit the about me page.
JAKE Barlow has launched a career as a professional magician - at the age of 14.
The youngster is Poynton's own David Blaine, a master of mystery and a juggling genius.
When the Poynton High schoolboy, of Poynton, performs for a crowd, they are stumped by his sleight of hand, quick-witted trickery and devious mind play.
Dressed to impress, his rabbit-free performance leaves audiences - young and old - hopping with excitement, and laughing at his quirky sense of humour.
So when Jake, one of the youngest performing magicians in the country, was asked to entertain at the Civic Centre for Poynton Parish Plan's first birthday, even the councillors were lost for words!
"It was great to perform at the Civic Ceremony, I had a magical time and everyone seemed to enjoy it," said the Manchester Junior Magic Circle member.
"When I'm older I'd definitely like to become the next Derren Brown; that would be brilliant!"
Like many modern dreams, Jake's started in America - at the tender age of six.
He said: "I went to New York when I was really young and we saw a magician, I remember thinking he was amazing.
"After the show, I bought my first magic set and then I just practised, practised and practised."
And it seems to have made his magic perfect, with a performing knack and natural charisma beyond his years.
