My name is Kevin Ogren. I’m known as Mr. O to my elementary school students, where I teach grade 5 and music. I have been teaching more than 20 years now. I realized early in my teaching training that my love of magic and working with children at school go hand in hand. I also used this knowledge when I completed my Masters of Education project on “Magic as an effective tool for teachers.” Mr. O in the classroom – Myster-O on the magic stage!
My love for magic started with a visit to the Main Street Magic Shop in Disneyland in 1977. With the tricks I bought there, I started performing magic for my neighbourhood friends.
I started my professional career as a magician over 20 years ago, with one of my many visits to Tony’s Trick and Joke Shop in Victoria. Tony Eng was a master magician and wonderful mentor that helped me move my love of magic from hobbyist to professional.
I have performed Magic for birthday parties, weddings, fairs & festivals and corporate parties. I have performed magic for a variety of businesses and organizations, including: Marine Harvest, Port Hardy Fire Department, Thunderbird Mall, Fort Rupert Band Office, Port Alice Community Centre, Port Alice and Port Hardy Legions, FILOMI Days (Port Hardy), Orca Fest (Port McNeill), Mount Waddington Fall Fairs, Port Hardy Regional Library and various shows for PAC’s at schools in the Vancouver Island North School District.
Please call or email to see how I can add some Magic to your next party or event!
