Brief Bio: (Just in case you care)
Jim Rainho has been a professional entertainer most of his life. He was born in Portugal and immigrated to the United States as a youngster.
He started doing magic as a hobby at the age of ten. Although he lived in the Northeast he became fascinated with western (country) music and learned to play the guitar. From the age of fourteen to seventeen he worked Summers in the Revere Beach (Massachusetts) side shows doing magic and assisting magician Ed Arno.
He organized his own western music band (The Rhythm Ramblers) in 1948 supplying western dance music for such venues as the Jerry & Sky (local Massachusetts) cowboy music radio personalities) traveling show of which Magician Silent Mora was a regular feature.
Jim also joined the Ranger Red (New England Western music personality ) Show touring the entire Northeast, Eastern Canada and the Provinces.
During this time Jim wrote several western songs that were published by Central Songs and by Hill & Range Music. Along with his music activities Jim developed a night club magic act that he performed in night clubs around the New England area and featured in the Ranger Red Western Shows.
Jim invented many of the tricks he performed which he eventually manufactured and released to magicians worldwide under the SIMPLEX MAGIC label.
After returning from a stint in the Army in Korea he returned to school and became an electronics/sound recording technician and opened an electronics shop and recording facility (Atlantic Electronics) in Cambridge MA. Two songs recorded by Pete Lane, that made the charts on the Imperial Records label, were first recorded in Jim's facility. Jim sold Atlantic Electronics in 1960 and returned to performing his magic act but on a limited basis to concentrate on raising a family and on manufacturing his magic creations.
The Encyclopedia of Magic & Magicians credits Jim with the trend of using candles in magic acts. He began performing full time again when his children were out of High School and he has been at it full time since, playing every type of venue with his Magic & ESP shows. He is still one of the busiest Magicians in the New England area. Jim has performed in almost every type of venue in show business; night clubs, television, stage reviews.
He still invents and fabricates magic equipment sold by leading magic shops around the world and through the internet. He also lectures and teaches magic classes.
Jim's hobby is collecting B Western movies. He has a vast knowledge of the genre.
