Avery is still walking on a magic cloud, and I have heard from several other parents who said that it has been such a great day that their children are even now still playing elaborate imaginative games about being Mister J, or their own Magic persona with their wands and hats. I have never seen Avery so comfortable in any performance type setting, and have to say that based on today’s confidence building show with you, she will likely be forever gracing stages with her brilliant smile, rather than worry. We couldn’t be happier. You’re a pleasure to deal with, and an awesome performer- thanks so much!!”

“I would like to thank you so much for the wonderful show today at Asia’s fifth bday.

I was the ‘only’ parent on the floor with my ‘nervous/shy’ daughter (only in public – she doesn’t stop chatting at home) and you were so inclusive. You spoke to her and let her hold your magic wand from her spot on the floor and she had the time of her life! She has been talking about the silly Mr J aka Mr Meatball all day and night. She loved the talking drawing I too, had so much fun and laughed like I haven’t in a long time.

You are a very talented person who has a wonderful way with children and adults alike. Best of luck on Dragons Den! They would be silly not to choose to help you. You are so passionate and professional and so MUCH FUN! Great crowd control – I could go on and on . But I was so touched that you were able to remember names and include all of the children.

Awesome job! Keep up the Fantastic work!”

We have thrown her a birthday party every year and told her this year will most likely be her last until her sweet 16 and she could have and do what ever she wanted. Well long story short … she said she wanted you to do her birthday. This will be one birthday Becky will never forget for the rest of her life and you made that possible. You were also a great hit with the adults. My parents will talk about it for some time. My wife had to pick them up in the valley before the show and I took them home after the show. They have never experienced anything like your show before and mom talked about it all the way home. Here are some photos that you can use for your website if you wish. Great job and we will tell everyone we know about The Amazing Mister J.”

I could not imagine how you were going to keep the full attention of 24 kids from 3 to 6 for 75 minutes and I will admit that I was somewhat skeptical…..not only did you do this, but you also captured the attention of all of the adults as well!!! You were incredible, and the children will never forget your show. I had comments from many parents, and my children are still talking about you non stop this morning! I will definitely have you back again, and please feel free to post this on your testimonial site, it would be my pleasure to help promote your show.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for putting on a great show for Brady’s 6th birthday. You have a great talent and energy and I was amazed at how easily you were able to draw the children into the performance. I was most impressed by how you referred to all the children by name from very early on in the show. Well done! When one of the parents was leaving with their son, I overheard him tell his mother ‘You should have seen the magic show mom, it was so much fun!’ I guess that says it all. For any parent considering Mister J’s Magic as a birthday party option, I can honestly say that it by far surpasses the other options out there for kids entertainment. The laughs and giggles from the children make it worth every last penny! Thanks again!”

The Amazing
   Mr. J ON

IMAGINE if ⭐️YOU⭐️ literally (really) BECAME your hero!🥰😮❗️ A WEIRD, crazy story for you...in which this actually happened.😃Not just because beloved late mentalist/entertainer 'The Amazing Kreskin' (1935-2024) was a HUGE personal inspiration for my Magic career (Fun facts: 'The Amazing' Mr. J stage name is a nod to Kreskin, just as 'Mr. J' is a nod to my heroic Dad!).❤️Not just because Kreskin's super-positive, over-the-top, joy-filled presentation style influences my life perspective every day.🤗Not just because Kreskin always kept Christmas well, annually sending out THOUSANDS of custom-designed Christmas cards (at personal expense), to many he met during his nearly 60 years of radio, TV, and stage appearances (a tradition I try modestly to uphold each year, mailing 150 cards. When the postal strike resolves, you can bet yours will be on its way!)🎅🤶🎄In processing my personal hero's passing today at 89😪, plus in keeping in tune with Kreskin's upbeat essence, let me quickly recount "The Day I was Actually Mistaken for Kreskin"😋:Niagara Falls Comic Con, 2018. 'The Amazing Kreskin' was scheduled to appear for a 'celebrity meet-and-greet'.📷🤝🌠 Had previously met Kreskin twice, and thoroughly enjoyed each encounter. The legendary star even kindly gifted me his personal card, asking me to keep in touch. As a huge fan, this latest event was another chance to thank Kreskin in person, for his career inspiration. So, dressed in my traditional tux🤵‍♂ (in prep for the photo op), and carrying a giant 'Kreskin' advertising sign obtained following his Halifax appearance, I awaited in the general area of where the program said he would be at 2:00pm. Around 1:45pm, with no Kreskin yet (but also strangely no line forming), a large, young security guard stormed up to me: "Hey! We've been lookin' for you!" (?!) "Follow me!" continued the bellowing guard, quickly ushering me over to a table across the arena. (Had no idea what was happening, thought I was in trouble for something...) 😵‍💫😲🤔❓️"OK- Sit there! I'll be right back!" insisted the security officer.👮‍♂️ At this point, I noticed there was a large line behind a curtain, just beyond the table where the guard directed me to sit. It's now almost 2:00pm. (What's going on here?) As you may have guessed, with the guard being young, he saw yours truly dressed in a tux, carrying a large sign, and looking around...he thought I WAS actually the real Kreskin. Beyond the curtain, voices were heard: "He's here! He's here! I just saw a guard bring him in!" (!!)🫢Apparently, (I learned later), the REAL Kreskin had flight issues🛩✈️, and "likely couldn't make it", but informed he powers-that-be that he was "still going to try" and be there. In the meantime, someone from the event staff presented me with some bottled water and markers, saying with adulation🤩: "Glad you made it after all, Mr. Kreskin, Sir. We're ready to let folks in...is there anything else you need, Sir?" (!!!!)😅🤣❗️❗️At this point, the mistaken identity snafu dawned on me.🙃 (Was just feeling relieved I wasn't in trouble with the guard). ☺️Just as the first few people in line came in, I confessed..."Ummm, listen...you see...um...I'm...not actually...Kreskin..." to the now red-faced team.🫠😉In hindsight, maybe I should have played along? 😜Keeping my head down, maybe I could have signed a few autographs, and fooled some of the people in line, who WOULD know EXACTLY what Kreskin really looked like...(twice my age). 🤪"Gee, 'Kreskin'...you're looking younger today..." But then, what if I carried on the charade, and then the REAL Kreskin then showed up late...seeing me signing his name and playing him?!🤭As it happened, the Real McCoy wasn't able to make it. But it was a blast to get the Kreskin-treatment, if only for a few minutes.🥰It's sad to lose a hero.😪 But joyous to know our heroes live on, and (sometimes), we can become a version of them.🙂🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️To quote one of Kreskin's famous TV sign-offs: "May you live 5 minutes longer than me. Just 5 minutes, no more, no less. For I intend to live FOREVER".🌠❤️YES. Thank you, ⭐️Kreskin⭐️. For all of The Amazing.🥰👍👍#Magic #Joy #Hero #TheAmazingKreskin ... See MoreSee Less

On this Remembrance Day, Dear Friends, let me humbly recommended to you the books📚 of retired Canadian General, and humanitarian activist, Roméo Dallaire.🫡Emotionally, you will find these very challenging reads. But also, infinitely important. You will gain heretofore unknown depths of perception, including deeper levels of empathy, gratitude, and resolve. These books will stick with you forever (as Gen. Dallaire's personal journey has with him).Ultimately, our ongoing honouring, talking with, and reading about our Vets🫡, serves as a profound realization of the precious frailty of Life, while enriching our collective consciousness and relationship with the whole of humanity.His latest book "The Peace" (2024), also offers some much needed HOPE. ⭐️Highest Possible Recommendation.⭐️Keep the Faith, Friends.❤️🇨🇦 ...
