In the last 5 years his show and his team have traveled to more than 47 countries as a result of his championship win. Meanwhile he has coordinated the most advanced research and development teams the art of illusion has ever seen. By combining physicists and engineers from around the globe Latimer has collected the most innovative illusions of the industry. 

In 2003, Latimer was recognized by the “Magicians of the Century” Siegfried & Roy when they awarded him the S.A.R.M.O.T.I (Siegfried And Roy Masters Of The Impossible) title. Within a year, Latimer wins the title of “Newcomer of the Year” from the Society of American Magicians, takes championship after championship title till he traveled to The Netherlands and was awarded not only the title World Champion of Close up Magic, along with the title World Champion of Inventive Design for Illusion, and the main title Grand Prix ‘Best Overall’ World Champion of Magic. 

Maintaining his goal to point magic in a new direction, Latimer quickly went to work on creating over the top visual effects. In 2005, in recognition of “his pursuit for originality and perfection” he was asked to join the elite group of the Magicians of Inner Magic Circle of London. And in 2005 Latimer became the youngest individual in its history of over one hundred years to join this brotherhood of the “best of the best.” Later that year, Latimer was asked to give a command performance for the Royal Family of Monaco at the Princess Grace Theater in Monte Carlo. 

His own style of new illusion has gathered attention around the world with numerous television appearances in countries such as France, Korea, Japan, Netherlands, England, and the United States.

Simply put, throughout the past fifteen years Mark Kalin and Jinger Leigh have redefined the traditional concepts of a “magic show.” Their unique productions have garnered accolades throughout the entertainment industry for their innovative and theatrical approach to magic and show production.

Whether appearing on network television, at the most exclusive, high-powered corporate functions, or within the framework of their own theatrical stage productions, Mark Kalin & Jinger Leigh are respected around the world as powerful and trend-setting performers.

In 1998 Kalin & Jinger were voted magic’s highest honor, Magicians of the Year, by the prestigious Academy of Magical Arts Hollywood’s Magic Castle  In 2001, the World Magic Awards honored their show with Best Magic Show and again in 2008 they received the 2008 Magicians of the Year, by Fox Television.  Because of their success, Kalin & Jinger have made numerous television appearances including NBC’s, Word’s Greatest Magic, Hidden Secrets of Magic, Fox Family’s Magic on the Edge, Fox TV’s World Magic Awards hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, as well as appearances on Entertainment Tonight, CBS, and ABC.

On February 17th, 2001, Kalin and Jinger made magic history by presenting the largest stage illusion in the world the disappearance of an American Airlines jumbo jet at the Reno Hilton. The illusion was presented, nightly, for over two years. It was the climax of their popular show and was witnessed by over a half-a-million people. The Vanishing Jet was a remarkable achievement in magic and the result of months of careful work and planning.

"We’re told that ancient magicians were always experimenting, always learning new spells and enchantments, Jinger says. I guess that modern, theatrical magicians are no different. Kalin agrees. Part of our work is illusion and psychology, but any performance is about connecting to the audience the element of surprise. The stage is our laboratory, and for us, it feels as if we’re rediscovering real magic every evening.”
