A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
He is magic's leading expert on all things Erdnase - the most influential card magic book of the past century. He is an authority on casino gambling - more specifically, cheating with cards. He has some of magic's most dangerous hands, able to switch, change, and maneuver cards in the most clandestine manner imaginable. His hands are quicker than your eyes. Jason England is a living legend of the conjuring arts. Influenced by Steve Forte, Richard Turner, Dai Vernon, and Darwin Ortiz, Jason is well studied, well rehearsed, and unique. His attention to detail and intense study of original texts make him one of magic's most sought after historians. But his hands are far more adept at handling cards than turning pages. Jason is based out of Las Vegas, yet travels the world giving lectures on proper card technique, card magic, and advantage gaming. A close friend and confidante to Steve Forte, Chris Kenner, and many other icons of magic, Jason also serves as a writer for MAGIC Magazine, the largest printed periodical of the conjuring arts. In 2009, Jason joined forces with theory11 in an effort to continue progressive, proper education of the next generation of magicians. In 2012 and 2013, Jason hosted the World Game Protection Conference in Las Vegas, NV.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
