\"CustomsClarksville, TN<\/strong> – It\u2019s a classic story: a city boy falls in love with a country girl and moves her to the big city in California. But this story is a little more\u2026 magical. Jeff Bornstein was born and raised in California before he met Kimberly online in 2008.<\/p>\n

Ever since they have been making a name for themselves within the magical entertainment world.<\/p>\n

You would not know it just by looking at him, but Jeff is one of the most sought out sleight-of-hand artists in the country, and his wife\u2019s mentalism skills are just as impressive.
\n 
\nKimberly can be blindfolded on stage and connect with audience members she has never met. She can also pluck thoughts from even the most sophisticated minds. Together, they make a dynamic duo that performs magic and mind-reading, with a splash of comedy.
\n 
\nJeff is an Army veteran and former Hollywood stuntman; some of his credits include The Specialist, Lethal Weapon III and Star Trek VI. While overseas during his time in the Army, the USO sent out the cast from the hit television show Happy Days to entertain soldiers. He knew then that he wanted to give back in that same way.<\/p>\n

When the opportunity arose, Jeff jumped at the chance to take his magic on tour with \u201cComics on Duty.\u201d He and five other comics traveled to the Middle East to entertain troops during Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he performed 32 shows in 23 days. From there, he and Kimberly created a show that they offer to the U.S. Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cOperation Bravo is a unique opportunity to give back to the troops in a way that is very personal to me,\u201d Jeff Bornstein says. \u201cIt means so much to be able to provide some relief, even if only temporary, to the men and women serving our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

More recently, the couple showed off their skills at the world-famous Magic Castle in Los Angeles and were featured on the television series Masters of Illusion. But the California lifestyle started to wear on the couple, and during the pandemic, they began looking for a change. In January 2021, they moved to Clarksville and quickly made themselves at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love it here. Sometimes when we\u2019re driving, we catch ourselves in awe that we\u2019re in Tennessee,\u201d says Kimberly. \u201cEveryone has been so friendly and wonderful.\u201d The Bornsteins have done some performing at House of Cards in Nashville since they moved here, but now they are eager to stage their larger show for their new hometown.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeff and Kimberly have created Magic of the Mind, a show that\u2019s going to exceed your expectations,\u201d says Customs House Museum & Cultural Center Executive Director Frank Lott. \u201cTheir magic and mind-reading are fascinating, and I\u2019m thrilled to get them on our stage so we can share their craft with more people in our area.\u201d<\/p>\n
