Jerry Sadowitz is a Scottish card magician and stand-up comic known for his offensive humour.

Born in New Jersey, USA, into a Jewish family, Sadowitz was brought up in Glasgow. Following the breakdown of his parent's marriage, his mother returned to her native Scotland. A sickly child, Sadowitz took an interest in magic while still at school. He is today widely acclaimed as one of the best close-up magicians in the business, has written several books on magic and invented many conjuring innovations.

Sadowitz comedy act is based around extreme offensiveness, breaking all taboos, using obscene language, and insulting the audience as much as possible. He famously opened the Montreal comedy festival with the line "Hello, moose-fuckers" and was promptly knocked unconscious. His refusal to moderate his comedy act has led to difficulties in his career: his debut television show on the BBC attracted a record number of complaints and was promptly moved to a graveyard slot and has never been repeated. And outbursts of his savage comedy routines during his conjuring shows have sometimes alienated him from the more conservative magic community.

He has been managed by, and has performed with, anarchic comedian and club proprietor Malcolm Hardee, and helped get now-famous mentalist Derren Brown his first shows on Channel 4. He also appeared in the music video of The Shamen's UK number 1 hit from 1992 "Ebenezer Goode".
