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.

The magic show was a great motivational tool for our students. Our students talked for weeks about the magic show! The magician really knew how to connect with our students. I especially liked how he emphasized the various character traits like trustworthiness and respect using magic. I know that our students would love to have him back again next year!

Our students enjoyed the magic show and were engaged throughout the presentation. The magician was very entertaining and the message of 'Reading' was definitely communicated to our students. The ‘magic show incentive' motivated our students to sell more items! I strongly recommend it as a successful fundraiser!

I believe the magic show has been the best prize program we have ever offered our students! We liked it so much we actually booked Cody for 5 additional educational magic shows! I definitely would recommend the package to everyone I know. I believe we exceeded our fundraising goals because of the show. The shows are not only educational but highly entertaining as well!
