The Amazing Mr. J

Hoo-boy, Magic Friends! Tonight is the Big One!! Will Montreal stay alive, or will Toronto advance?? Lord Stanley's Cup is at stake, so The Amazing Mr. J & Ron Cherry are making BETS on Canada's oldest rivalry! Plus, they continue their own hockey hijinks, just for YOU! All this and less, on today's..."Dummy Night in Canada!" #Canada #HockeyNightInCanada #NHLPlayoffs #Leafs #LeafsNation #Habs #HabsNation #DummyNightInCanada #RonCherry #TheAmazingMrJ #DavidJolly #Magician #Entertainer #BirthdayParty #StompinTomConnors #TheHockeySong #ProudCanadian www.misterj.ca www.amazingmisterj.ca www.halifaxmagician.ca

Are YOU a proud Canadian?(Hey, is Niagara Falls wet??) Then naturally you love good old-fashioned foot-stompin' fun, and you've heard of Stompin' Tom Connors- that well-traveled, tough-as-boots, timeless troubadour to whom Mr. J today tips his hat! What's more Canadian than "The Hockey Song"...plus a Leafs/Habs Saturday night playoff game on CBC? (And what's more Kitschy than Ron Cherry & Mr. J, "analyzing" tonight's Big Game, on "Dummy Night in Canada?") Wishing you a Magical Saturday, my Cool Canadian Friends!#Canada #HockeyNightInCanada #NHLPlayoffs #Leafs #LeafsNation #Habs #HabsNation #DummyNightInCanada #RonCherry #TheAmazingMrJ #DavidJolly #Magician #Entertainer #BirthdayParty #StompinTomConnors #TheHockeySong #ProudCanadian www.misterj.ca www.amazingmisterj.ca www.halifaxmagician.ca

Your Friday Funnies! Last night, in an exciting, dramatic, very close hockey game (that honestly could have gone either way), Montreal beat Toronto! "Will Ron Cherry honour his bet? Or will he try to stiff Mr. J??" More lockdown laughs, and Magic Merriment for you! #StanleyCupPlayoffs #Hockey #Leafs #LeafNation #Habs #HabsNation #NHLHockey #NHLPlayoffs #TheAmazingMisterJ #DavidJolly #Magician #Magic #BirthdayParty #RonCherry #DummyNightInCanada #KitschsCorner www.misterj.ca www.amazingmisterj.ca www.halifaxmagician.ca

YOUR MAGIC Life Lesson! As you "stay the blazes home', never let your Magic Rabbit provide your lockdown groceries! Still, hope you continue to count your blessings, know you are Loved, and let's keep Life's MAGIC alive.#DavidJolly #AmazingMisterJ #Magician #Magic #BirthdayParties #RudyTheRedNosedRabbit #MagicRabbit #BadBunny #StayTheBlazesHome #Groceries #WhyMe #NeedACanOpener www misterj.ca www.amazingmisterj.ca www.halifaxmagician.ca

May the 4th Be With YOU! Hilariously, when introducing my Magic Rabbit to Chewbacca, she continually clambered and climbed out of her Magic Hat, excitedly trying to meet her new furry friend! (Jedi instincts??) Whether we are all bound by The Force, the Mystery of Magic, or just being Nova Scotia Strong, the Covid Empire doesn't stand a chance...we will win...keep the faith, and let's all keep shining as bright as lightsabres, fellow Rebel Heroes! #MayThe4thBeWithYou #StarWars #Magic #Magician #DavidJolly #TheAmazingMisterJ #Jedi #BeingQuarantinedAtHomeIsLikeBeingOnDagobah www.misterj.ca www.amazingmisterj.ca www.halifaxmagician.ca

HAPPY WORLD LAUGHTER DAY! (May 2nd- Yes, it's a real day!) While we stay the blazes home, let LAUGHTER be YOUR INSTANT VACATION. :) <3 So many types of humour: puns, silliness, slapstick, farcical, abstract/absurd humour...just look around you, there is always SO much to laugh at! (Personally, I just look in the mirror!) Seeing a small child react to things makes your soul smile, the key to untold treasures. Foolishness is everywhere, from someone accidentally misspeaking a w...ord, to auto-correct changing your words to the ridiculous. As we go through our extended strange situation, let laughter be your therapy, and your constant companion- never far from your heart. As Monty Python sang: "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". :) Remember, muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone. Walt Disney said: "Laughter is Timeless. Imagination has no Age. And Dreams are Forever". Mr. J would add: "Laughter is MAGIC!" :) #WorldLaughterDay #Magic #Magician #TheAmazingMisterJ #DavidJolly #BirthdayParty #AlwaysLookOnTheBrightSideofLife #HappyHappyJoyJoy www.misterj.ca www.amazingmisterj.ca www.halifaxmagician.ca See more

Can you feel it?? Canada's hockey fans are super excited! This is the Big One! Legendary rivals, Leafs vs. Habs TONIGHT, in first round playoff action (FIRST time that's happened since 1979!!) The race to win Lord Stanley's Cup is on, and YOU are covered, with 'Dummy Night in Canada' providing you with daily "expert" analysis! (Or at least, a face-palm and a laugh!) Join Ron Cherry & The Amazing Mr. J for YOUR daily lockdown escape into Magic merriment! #StanleyCupPlayoffs #Hockey #Leafs #LeafNation #Habs #HabsNation #NHLHockey #NHLPlayoffs #TheAmazingMisterJ #DavidJolly #Magician #Magic #BirthdayParty #RonCherry #DummyNightInCanada #KitschsCorner www.misterj.ca www.amazingmisterj.ca www.halifaxmagician.ca

Do you remember the 1980s Karate Kid movies? Imagine this: Have you ever been LITERALLY held up, by your childhood heroes?? Quick story for you...imagine this: Attempting to re-enact the famous Daniel-San "Crane Kick" for a personal meeting with Johnny Lawrence (actor William Zabka), for some reason (despite my daily Yoga practice!)...at that moment, I just couldn't keep my balance! The watch-checking cameraman winced as I wobbled...off-balance and waving my arms...6...7...8 ...Continue reading

A Magic Meal with your Kitchen Magician, The Amazing Mr. J (and Angus!) If lockdown makes you loopy, at least you're not dealing with a dummy.

It's OSCAR NIGHT! Fun Fact: Didja know that when movies first came into existence, the early pioneers (like Charlie Chaplin) believed we would all finally have world peace?? Yes, many in the 1920s felt our human empathy and understanding would grow, as soon as all the many peoples around the world saw each other on that big, grand, silver screen. As you can imagine, the fervent hope was that this game-changing new art form could create connections, open dialogue, and help us ...all celebrate our common humanity! :) "Woo hoo, YES! let's change the world! Let's bring everyone together!" :) Now 100 years later, we have...ummmmm...well...mixed results?? :P Just the same, for all the tacky, American-centric, over-the-top, self-laudatory, self-advertising, subjectively-judged hoopla of the Academy Awards (The 93rd Annual, this year), at the core of The Oscars is still a celebration of cinema...and that still can certainly help a little to bring us together in our common humanity! Can you vividly recall a movie that moved you, and stuck with you all your life? Naturally, regarding "awards", it's fun to debate who *shoulda, coulda, woulda* won each category, but at least most of the winners (usually) are at least somewhat of a cut above the average schlocky Hollywood fare. Plus, if you adore cinema (and its fascinating rich history), it can stimulate real conversation between people! You know, as a child, I thought "The Oscars" simply meant everyone's favourite trash can dwelling grouch. :P Years later, though, thanks to my beloved parents, watching the annual Oscars extravaganza came a wonderful family tradition. My amazing sister watches too! Haven't missed one now in 30 years. (Even bought Mom & Dad a replica "Oscar" in the category of "BEST PARENTS" one Christmas! See picture!) So in a roundabout way, movies may not have "brought everyone in the world together", but The Oscars have served to bring our family all together every year, wherever they may be. May the Magic of the Movies also serve to bring YOU and YOUR loved ones together too! Since we have to 'stay the blazes home' these days anyway, why not expand your cinematic palette, and your imaginative horizons, by sampling an off-the-beaten-path movie you might not have looked at otherwise? Plenty of foreign films, documentaries, and independent gems for you to choose from. Treat yourself to our common humanity. Your Life is your movie. It's our movie. And, just like Magic, it never ends! :) #LoveMovies #Oscars2021 #AcademyAwards #Art #Cinema #Magic #Magician #AmazingMisterJ #DavidJolly #Birthday #Parties #AndTheAwardGoesTo #MomAndDad www.misterj.ca www.amazingmisterj.ca www.halifaxmagician.ca See more

For YOUR Hallowe'en...the man who lives it ALL YEAR (!)...ALICE COOPER! You'll be happy to hear the Prince of Darkness is super cool, and conversational, in person, as my brother Chris and I luckily learned. Didja know the spooky song-man is actually an avid GOLF LOVER? Plus he actually has a deep-rooted fear of snakes? And get this: he once lived next door to, (and partied with), GROUCHO MARX?!? Weird is truly wonderful. Y'know, maybe Alice's song: "Welcome to My Nightmare" ...could apply to 2020, but here's hoping this October 31st, your spirit finds all the far-out fun of your freaky festivities. Bonus: This year features a FULL MOON (!!), so may your kids, (and/or your personal inner child!), enjoy the MAGIC of Hallowe'en. Alice is counting on you! ;) #AmazingMisterJ #AliceCooper #Magic #Magician #BirthdayParty #Halloween2020 #FullMoon #BalloonSnake #BalloonSpider See more

You like Magical new taste sensations, AND supporting local, right? Have to share this with you. Imagine: Chocolate creations sooooo good...Heaven would ask for the recipe. Plus, pastries...par excellence. Best of all...Cheesecake that could create world peace! (Where, you ask??) 'Busy Lizzy Sweets!' She so thoroughly impressed yours truly, this unsolicited plug needed to be brought to the attention of your most discerning taste buds. If you personally are too busy to cook, o...r you need to add that special Magic Touch for your next dinner/party, lucky you! You now have a guaranteed option...'Busy Lizzy Sweets' has you covered. Unique European recipes, plus personalized custom orders too! If you can imagine it, I'm pretty sure she can create it for you. As you can imagine, (performing as a full-time Magician for Birthday Parties), Mr. J sees a lot of different cakes. A LOT. Well, this young lady takes the cake, for first class quality food, coupled with personal style, flair, and LOVE! Above and beyond impressed...energetic personal service, highly recommended. Like Magic, good food always brings people together. 'Busy Lizzy Sweets'...Your new 'Destination for Delicious!' :) Soooo good. <3 You can like her page here: https://www.facebook.com/Busy-Lizzy-Sweets-108822311010083 See more

"Thank you so much, Mr. J! The boys had a blast. You were incredible." -Lisa Marie Cormier, Hammonds Plains (October 18th, 2020) A very kind review, from a very fun group of Magic Birthday Partiers! Wishing YOU personally a fantastic Fall...may you celebrate the Multicolour Majesty, Magic, and Mystery, of this season. "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious." -Albert Einstein

Wishing you personally, a most MAGICAL Thanksgiving. Plus, congratulations on YOU...now being a MILLIONAIRE! (Huh? Howzat again?) Let me ask you something...imagine: would you trade your most beloved family member away, if someone offered you a million dollars for them? Of course not! So by that logic, technically, your loved one is worth much MORE than that million dollars, right? Y'know, I daresay a billion, or a trillion...they are priceless. If you imagine larger, and you... think now of ALL your closest friends and family members for which you are thankful, YOU personally are a trillionaire...multiple times over! You are, right now at this moment, blessed with UNLIMITED wealth (infinitely richer than Bezos!) Even though 2020 has been a bit of a turkey (!), hope you enjoy your day. You are loved, and rich beyond measure... with much for which you can be thankful. "Don't let the sun go down without saying thank you to someone, and without admitting to yourself that absolutely no one gets this far alone." -Stephen King #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #Trillionaire #Magic #Magician #AmazingMisterJ #BalloonTurkey See more

You still in shock too? Really, 2020...EDDIE VAN HALEN? Like much of this year, feels like another sucker punch, eh? But as we all heard from 1984's 'Jump': "Ya got to roooolllloooolllooollll with the punches...to get to what's real!" Great life lesson. And we will all continue to "ROLL", (and ROCK!)...thanks to you, Eddie. Your legend lives forever. On behalf of your many fans worldwide, thank you for the Magic. <3 #EddieVanHalen #Jump #RollWithThePunches #AmazingMisterJ #Music #Magic #Love #BalloonGuitar
