Decades under the truss, now running the crew.
Lucky 13 Production Professionals is a New York City rigging, staffing, and event production company — small enough to answer the phone personally, experienced enough to run a seven-figure retail install without a hitch.
Jimmy Mistler
Jimmy Mistler is a seasoned production rigger with decades of hands-on experience in New York City's live event industry. Before Lucky 13 carried his name on a call sheet, it carried his reputation — built one install, one show, and one on-time load-out at a time.
The company's name isn't a branding exercise. It comes from a night at the tables in Vegas, where Jimmy's number hit — 13 Black. He named the company after it, and the same read-the-room instinct that knows when to commit is what he brought into rigging: knowing the load, knowing the crew, and knowing exactly when it's ready to fly.
Today that instinct runs a company trusted with some of the highest-profile bookings in the city, including a $1.1M production contract with Saks Fifth Avenue, and crews supplied for Diana Ross, the US Open, and FIFA.
Small company. Big-show standards.
