Kalin and Jinger are an award-winning American magic couple, Mark Kalin and Jinger Leigh, known for large-scale stage shows and for appearances on network television specials.

Biography

Jinger is both an on-stage assistant and business partner to husband Kalin. In 1997, they formed Supreme Entertainment Productions and produced Before Your Very Eyes, a themed revue that played at Trump's Marina in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1999, together with comedy magician Jeff Hobson, they staged the magic-illusion show Carnival of Wonders.
