Didja know YOU have Magic Powers? Just like WWE Legend, THE UNDERTAKER! Quick story: Mr. J's meeting with the Superstar was brief, (just a quick mutual "how ya doin?' at first), but when he saw his ridiculous balloon tribute, his beaming SMIRK (on his usually super-serious face!) spoke libraries! The Taker was likely truly feeling like The Dead-Man, since our Niagara Falls meeting was only a day after he appeared in a Main Event match, way over in Saudi Arabia! Thanking my hero, and turning to leave, the most unexpected thing happened. You know how a blow can seem to hurt more, when it's unexpected? Well, there was a strong impact, (it felt like an anvil!!) dropping on my shoulder, after my back was turned. It was of course, The Undertaker, who had slammed his hand on my shoulder as I walked away. Then, in his trademark very-familiar gravelly, deep, sepulchral voice, that we've all heard on TV for over 30 years, he exclaimed: 'GOOD JOB, BUDDY." Wow. You know, I had hoped to bring him some joy with the balloon, and he in turn did the same for me. Such a treat also to make so many different balloons, for so many kids (and adults!) that day, and to reconnect with many super cool folks (some of who kindly actually remembered me from last year!) It got yours truly thinking of the takeaway lesson: YOU and I ALL have the Magic Power to affect others...spreading joy and kindness in small ways every day...and you never know how far your influence goes. Most likely beyond the grave itself! Y'know, if even The Undertaker himself can muster a smirk, then we can all choose JOY, every day!!

Happy Father's Day! Y'know, though I haven't yet been blessed with my own children, I'm lucky enough to perform for thousands every year. Well, one such youngster made me very happy at today's birthday show, presenting me with a 'fan letter' upon my arrival (see attached), which he wrote after having seen me perform once before. Humbling to think that my few hours spent with a youngster could leave such an impression...so all the MORE credit to all YOU full-time DADs, who give love and support for a full LIFETIME! Always remember the influence you have is REAL MAGIC. (Certainly has been the case with my own Dad, The Original and Most-Amazing Mr. J!) Here's to our Dads!! :) ... See MoreSee Less
The Amazing Mr. J is LIVE in Toronto, making balloons for the kiddies in Jurassic Park!! (As you can imagine, it's so cute seeing little five-year-olds happily exclaiming: "Go Raptors!!") Good news for YOU- I will be waving the Magic Wand for Canada's Team tonight! (Heading back tomorrow for some Wednesday Magic Shows in the Maritimes, so I'm hoping our team can do it tonight!) Y'know, the TO streets here are abuzz with feelings of positivity, bringing our entire amazing nation together...it feels like New Year's Eve. What an experience...the kindness of so many strangers I've met here makes for instant new friends...like real Magic! Wherever you personally are enjoying the Big Game, we are all connected as Canadians. (My brother is watching live from Japan!) Have yourself a Party, and GO RAPTORS!!😀😁🥰 ... See MoreSee Less
