Uncle James

Uncle James has been performing professionally since 1997.

After obtaining a prestigious award for first runner up in the annual close up magic competition held by the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM ring115), he has also won many other awards even outside of magic, including the best stage presence for a science competition held by the Singapore Science Centre.

His unique style of comedy and magic has gained the favor of many reputable event companies including a permanent contract in a talent source company, Zephyhdom, where he is exposed to other forms of performance like clowning and ballooning (Jiggles the clown), juggling (Juggler Joe), miming and mascots, emceeing, street style fire eating freak show (Freakshow Jim), science show (approved by the Singapore Science Center) and theatre, including musicals and plays.

His versatility has led him to perform in many countries, including Brunei where he was invited to perform for the royal family, and has worked with many esteemed companies like Carrefour, Eng Wah and Golden Village cinemas, Far East Organization, Singapore Zoo, Bird Park and almost every major bank and insurance company.

After NS, Jimmy started his very own magic and clowning supplies shop (Tricky Business) to encourage new entertainers to raise their standard of performance in 2004, which later merged with Zephyhdom and evolved to Practikal Magik, a company that provides training courses for magic and balloons to the general public who wants to pick up the hobby.

This merger has given Jimmy free time to indulge in his passion, to perform!Despite of the growing need for entertainers after the opening of the International Resort in Singapore, Jimmy chooses to forgo the opportunities and concentrate on children parties, as this is what he is does best, and best is what he will bring to your child’s next birthday party!
