Jokus Pocus is a fun and hilarious magic show for children of all ages. The best way to make a birthday memorable, is to make it Magical. The Jokus Pocus Magic Show began on the Disney Cruise Line, and is now available in your own home! There are lots of magic words, but "Jokus Pocus" are the magic words that will have your party guests laughing with amazement and delight!
I really enjoyed watching this performance as the tricks were quite interesting and fun. Thanks for coming.
Response from Jokus Pocus Magic:
Thank you Fiona, I'm glad you enjoyed the show! I appreciate you having me at the party, and for your hospitality. All the best in the new year!
My 6 year old and her party loved the show! Jody was engaging, funny, and enthusiastic. He showed up on time and was so great with communications and flexibility. Thank you!
Response from Jokus Pocus Magic:
Thank you Vivian for having me at the party! I had a great time performing, and I'm glad to hear everyone enjoyed the show!
Jody did an excellent job! My 5 year old boy had a blast!!! All children love his magic tricks. Highly recommended!
Response from Jokus Pocus Magic:
Thank you Amy, I'm happy that you all had a great time!
We hired Jody for our son’s 5th birthday party. I was a little hesitant at first as I wasn’t sure if kids this age would be able to sit still for a 30 minute show but Jody made it so fun and interactive even the adults had a blast. His tricks and the way he engaged with the kids were great and very age appropriate. Everyone was left in awe of his performance. The kids laughed so hard for 30 minutes straight. Communication with Jody leading up to the party was great. He was very accommodating to our needs and was able to work around the itinerary we provided him with. I highly recommend Jody to anyone who loves a good magic show. Thanks again for making the party so much more fun, Jody!
Response from Jokus Pocus Magic:
Thank you Vivian! Glad you all enjoyed the show!
We managed to book him last minute for my 7yo birthday party, and boy did he save the day!! He kept the kids entertained a good 30-45 minutes. He blew their minds as well as us adults. The surprise at the end was even better than we could have imagined (a Taylor Swift cut out) my daughter was blown away and we have great keepsake that now hangs in her room!

Primarily performing for children's birthday parties, the Jokus Pocus Magic Show is centered around the birthday child and making them feel special. There are several opportunities during the show for the birthday kid to go up on stage and help perform some magic, which will make their special day even more magical.
The show is fully appropriate for all ages, and can be enjoyed by both children and adults. The show is focused on having fun and laughs for everyone, with magic all along the way.
Jody "Joe" Chambers is a magician and entertainer who began working as a magician with Disney Cruise Line in 2007, and has spent most of his time since then traveling the world and entertaining audiences of all ages. He now makes his home in BC, and brings as much magic as he can to the lower mainland (and beyond!).
The show can be performed in a relatively small space, and no special equipment is necessary for most in home shows. Set-up is minimal and only takes a couple of minutes before the show, and the clear-up only takes a few minutes again aftewards. I don't typically use a sound system or special lights, so please include any such requirements in your request. No actual raised professional stage is required, so as long as there is space for everyone in the audience to sit (the floor works great!), then I can work within almost any other space limits.
Ideally shows should take place indoors. There would basically need to be room for me to stand and move around a bit, some space for the small table I bring with me, and a little extra room for a volunteer to join me on the stage (approximately 3m wide by 2m). If possible, the stage area should be located against a solid wall, and not with any major windows or doors behind, as this becomes distracting for the audience and makes it difficult for everyone to see.
At least one adult from the family is required to remain in the room to assist with monitoring the children. If there is a bigger party going on at the same time as the show (for example, if the adults won't be watching with the children), I recommend having the show in a separate room from where others will be congregating, as the sounds of others talking can be distracting for the children watching the show.
For similar reasons, if there is food being served at the party, I recommend that this be done either before or after the performance, as kids have trouble focusing on eating and watching at the same time. It also helps to prevent spills, messes, and other such incidents during the show.
If the party will be outdoors, please note this in the initial pre-booking conversations. If there are any other concerns, such as allergies, triggers, etc, please also note these ahead of time.
No special equipment is required, as the show is typically performed in a regular sized room. If any special requirements are needed (such as sound systems, special lighting, outdoor tents, etc.), this will all likely need to be arranged by the customer a
