He can take a take a ring off his finger and make it jump back on by itself.
Jared Molton is both a magician and a 2015 UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School graduate.
After seeing a Lance Burton magic show in Las Vegas, Molton began practicing magic at age 14.
“I’d always been really interested in it and never really kind of thought that it was something that was doable,” Molton said. “And I saw his show and was just blown away.”
To teach himself magic, Molton read books, visited magic shops and met other magicians who helped guide him along the way.
“At 14, I thought to myself, ‘Whoa, I can turn this into a business. I can make money doing this. How cool is that?’” he said. “I loved the magic and the art and all of that, and I also realized it was an opportunity to have a pretty great job.”
Molton became a professional magician in New York City after graduating from college.
He was general manager of one of New York’s oldest magic shops before coming to Kenan-Flagler in 2013.
