James and Travis

Magicians Travis Bernhardt and James Jordan in blue suits, spilling coins out of a large cup and into a smaller one.

In 2021 Travis reached out to his favourite magician, Calgary’s James Jordan, to see if he would join him to create a duo act for children. Travis’s life was changed by seeing magic as a child, and wanted to bring that gift to a new generation. He was utterly delighted when James agreed.

James and Travis bring world class performing skills and decades of experience to a show filled to bursting with expert sleight of hand, juggling, comedy, and just plain fun. It’s the show they’d have wanted to see as children — high-level magic with a playful spirit that never talks down to children but meets them where they are.

If you’re a school, children’s festival, or theatre looking for a show that will amaze, inspire, and delight in equal measure — something the kids will remember forever — contact Travis and James today!

“Travis was such a hit with or students (and staff!) that we had to bring him back for another show! Our group is 11-17 years old and he engages everyone. The show is funny and genuinely amazing and full of interaction. The shocked reactions as he pulls off yet another miracle are almost as good as the show itself... Travis is hilarious, respects everyone’s intelligence, and is clearly having a great time with the students — the time just flies by. Highly recommended!”
— Michelle Douglas, Senior School Principal, Stratford Hall IB World School

Lively, fun and inspiring for all students!”
