The Amazing Mr. J - Magician & Entertainer

2 weeks ago

As you embrace your personal day of reflection, respect, and Remembrance...you are also showing your CHILDREN what this day is all about. Whether you have your own children, (or perform for them, like yours truly), we ALL have the Magic Power to be role models. Your solemnity and reverence for this day opens their eyes. Your gentle answering of their questions opens their minds. And the kindness you show for others all year round opens their HEARTS. Naturally, there isn't a parent in the world that wants their child to grow up surrounded by violence. As you may recognize, pictured here with 'Mr. J' is General Roméo Dallaire...Canadian hero, author, and founder of The Roméo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative. If you personally have also read The Honourable Mr. Dallaire's books, you'll also have been profoundly moved by his harrowing first hand accounts of children as young as 8, 9, and 10 being recruited as soldiers into the theatre of war. These accounts deeply affected me. (What's more, recently, I dated a wonderful Croatian woman, who grew up in the tragic and terrifying shadow of that country's 1990s Balkan conflicts). Hearing such harrowing stories, you feel deep empathy. You also feel overwhelming gratitude to be Canadian, and a palpable sense of responsibility. As you know, the calm and peace we breathe in Canada is the gift of Centuries, and must never be taken for granted. The price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance. As we honour all our veterans today, let's also share their 'Never Again' message with the next generation. This post is just a little friendly reminder to also try your best to role model kindness for children, too. May we treasure their innocence...they remain, as ever, our best and most magical hope for the future. "Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of mankind." -R.

Do you believe in Magic? Spoiler alert: It's real! 🙂 It's alive and well in the hearts of kids (of all ages). ;) Grateful for this wonderful review, after entertaining last week for some equally wonderful kids and adults:
"Oh, Mister J - you work so hard at your tricks and illusions - and your performance is simply wonderful art, transporting and solidly entertaining!
We appreciate how you captivated our entire group and appealed to the imaginative child in each of us. It was especially dear how you were able to conscript the youngsters and lead them into an understanding of your magical realm.
We hope to see you again and we remain -
your fans and admirers- Joan Nightengale & Family, Cole Harbour, NS (November 2020) #BirthdayParty #AmazingMisterJ #Magician #Magic #Joy #Happiness #Believe #MagicIsReal ... See MoreSee Less
