John Born has spent the last 14 years at the forefront of creativity and education in the magical arts, creating custom presentations for schools, corporations, and magicians worldwide. He won several prestigious awards, the most notable being first place in the 2006 International Brotherhood of Magicians Gold Cups Competition (the world's most prestigious annual competition for close-up magic). He is the author of two best-selling educational books and is featured on over ten instructional DVDs.
In 1995, a tragic car accident shattered his potential for a career as a professional athlete. Little did he know, this turn of events (combined with a bit of inspiration from his grandfather) would spur a life-long passion and incredible career in performance and education. John uses his talents, creativity, and story to show that you can do anything if you put your mind to it!
Albert Einstein once said, "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science." John's presentation demonstrates the power of wonder to share important messages in a way that will entertain, educate, and inspire!
"We proudly recommend John Born for any magic shows your organization would consider. John is a very professional, reliable, and entertaining magical artist. Our students and faculty were so impressed; we had to bring him back twice to perform magic for our school!!! In both cases, he has come well-prepared and incorporated our assemblies' messages into his performances!" - Linda Imbler / Assitant Principal at Minneha.
