The Amazing Mr. J performs magic for a childhood hero, the man behind Sesame Street’s Big Bird & Oscar the Grouch, who is retiring after 50 years. (Caroll Spinney’s Dad is also from New Brunswick!) He gave me an actual Big Bird feather, a gift to treasure forever. (October 2018):

The Amazing
   Mr. J ON

THREE MAGIC BIRTHDAYS!!! 😊🎩❤⭐👍1) My Beloved Wonderful UNCLE CYRIL❤, who first amazed me with card tricks as a five-year-old.♠️♥️♣️♦️🤔😮😍 (Little did he know then...)😉2) HOUDINI! Had he not died (on Hallowe'en, 1926🎃👻😮🎩), the Magic Master would have been 149 today (Born March 24th, 1874). If anyone could have escaped death, it would have been Harry.👍3) World-record juggler, hypnotist, and Magic Friend, the incredible IAN STEWART!🔥⚡👍 (Technically, Ian's birthday is tomorrow, but excited that we are hanging out TODAY!) One of the many cool things about Ian Stewart is that, like yours truly, he is always innovating and adding new effects. We love our semi-annual catch-up/Magic summits, since we usually only randomly chat by coincidence and chance (at gas stations, parking lots, etc), when we are both on the way TO/coming FROM a gig! (It would not surprise me in the least to learn today that Ian has decided to set yet another Guinness world record, this time for juggling live wolverines).😋🦊🤹‍♂️Very cool dude.You know, Magic is one of the World's Oldest Performing Arts.🎭 It's my Passion and my Life.❤👍 It survives and thrives via its many talented practitioners, as long as Wonder, Curiousity, and Joy lives in people's hearts.🤗May YOU personally have a MAGICAL weekend.😊🎩❤👍#Magic #Magician #BirthdayMagic #BirthdayForKids #KidsBirthdayParty #BirthdayMagician #TheAmazingMisterJ #Halifax #NovaScotia #Birthday #Joy #KidsBirthdayIdeas #CleanMagic #MagicianForHire #MagicianForAdults #MagicianForKids #Houdini #HappyWeekend-David Jolly "The Amazing Mr. J- Magician & Entertainer"PHONE: 782-414-3612 (A Nova Scotia number! 🙂 CALL anytime, for more info, and bookings)WEBSITES (with CONTACT e-mail links for you):www.misterj.ca/ (All-Ages Magic Shows/Live Animals/Balloon Art for: Kids Birthdays, Schools, Festivals, Malls, Campgrounds, Libraries, and MORE!)www.amazingmisterj.ca/ (Clean Comedy Magic for Adults: Corporate events, Universities/Colleges, Adult House Parties/Kitchen Parties, High Schools/teens, Seniors, MC, Trade Shows, Adult events, Walk-around Magic, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Weddings, and MORE!)www.halifaxmagician.ca/SOCIALS:Facebook: www.facebook.com/misterjmagicTwitter: twitter.com/AmazingMisterJInstagram: www.instagram.com/theamazingmisterj/TikTok: tiktok.com/@theamazingmisterj/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/theamazingmisterj/YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCTOLa5EKW2ZrAx2-Y2EdSqA ...
