The Amazing Mister J - Magician/Entertainer
About us
Born and based in Halifax, The Amazing Mr. J performs across Canada ('Nationwide since '99!'), entertaining with magic and comedy shows for kids, adults, and corporate groups. (He's even been hired by numerous celebrities!) Having performed over 3500+ shows from Newfoundland to Toronto, from throughout the Maritmes to BC, and even in Whitehorse, Yukon (at the 2016 Sourdough Fest along with Natalie MacMaster), Mr. J deeply loves our beautiful country, and all the truly amazing people who live here.
You may have seen The Amazing Mr. J on television over the years, on CTV's Mike Bullard Show, Live at Five, Breakfast Television, his own show on EastLink, or many other TV guest appearances. Mr. J even faced the Dragons on CBC TV's Dragons' Den, luckily scoring a deal with the famously (infamously?) money-loving Kevin O'Leary! You can read Mr. J’s first published story inside Dragons’ Den/Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary’s newest #1 international bestseller (pages 123-133) “Cold Hard Truth on Family, Kids & Money”. (Thanks for publishing Mr. J, Mr. Wonderful!)
How did it begin? When Mr. J’s wonderful MOM & DAD bought him a magic kit for his 6th birthday, he became hooked, performing his first magic tricks right out of the box. This little show for the guests at his grandparents house in Saint John, New Brunswick sparked a lifelong love of performing. (So, parents, it's always good to encourage your children's interests...you never know!) A few years later, those same perfect parents hired some magicians to perform at little Mr. J's house, forever expanding his imagination. From then on, he hoped someday to give this same joy and excitement to others.
Whilst taking circus training and attending theatre school in the late 1990s, Mr. J called Toronto home...this was where he frequented the local magic shops, and luckily obtained mentoring from numerous professional entertainers.
Today: By day, Mr. J is a Magician, Landlord, Writer, and Bon Vivant. By night, he is... show more also those things. That’s because he’s that good kind of workaholic: a goal-setting, practical dreamer. Mr. J speaks French, and loves Canada, nature, the outdoors, green living, exercising, hiking, poetry, film, the arts, CBC Radio, sports, singing, skydiving, new ideas, traveling, board games, magic (of course), plus virtually all music and literature. Geeky confession: Mr. J built a giant ‘drive-in style’ theatre in his forest behind the house, and collects vintage arcade and pinball machines (for retro parties!)
Mr. J loves children, and is writing an original children’s book. A couple books for adults are also in the works. (Keep watching your local bookstore!)
Mr. J is cosmopolitan and urbane, and (let’s face it), rather silly too.
(By the way, Mr. J never goes around talking about himself in the third person like this. That’s just an understood pretense when writing mini-bios like this...)
Naturally, the biggest thanks goes to YOU- for visiting this page, and for helping me to live the dream as a magician/entertainer. It has been a sincere pleasure to perform for you across Canada for over 18 years ('Nationwide since '99!') Always wonderful sharing so many fun-filled times with new friends of all ages.
Naturally, your thoughts and comments are always greatly appreciated. YOU are helping keep the magic alive! Feel free to send your questions, heckles, marriage proposals, or really good jokes to: misterjmagic@hotmail.com
All my friendship,
David "The Amazing Mr. J"
