About John Cassidy

John Cassidy's bizarre antics have earned him widespread acclaim as one of the most original comedians performing today. Starting his career as a magician and balloon sculptor for children’s birthday parties, John began noticing that the parents were also finding his act to be especially hilarious and ingenious. Convention work and club and college dates soon followed for this neurotically charming performer.

The world of magic has taken a special shine to John and he is now among the most requested acts at various conventions and seminars throughout the world, and has been named one of the funniest comedy magicians working today by MAGIC Magazine. The Amazing Johnathan, in particular, has hired him as his opening act on numerous occasions over each of the past four years. In addition, Kevin James, Mac King and Teller (of Penn &Teller), the Society of American Magicians, the Academy of Magical Arts, The Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA and Monday Night Magic (New York's longest running magic show) have all made their own special requests for John Cassidy's blend of creative mayhem.

Further notoriety for John occurred when the Guinness Book of World Records® documented him as the world’s fastest balloon sculptor. Currently John's record for Most Balloon Sculptures Completed in One Hour stands at 747 inflated and twisted within the course of a mere sixty minutes. John holds three additional balloon speed sculpting Guinness World Records®.

John has made numerous television appearances on such shows as "Late Night with Conan O'Brien", “The Today Show”, The CBS Early Show, the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon, “Martha Stewart Living” and “Live With Regis and Kelly”. In addition, John has also been honored to have performed at the White House twice.

He currently resides in the rural outskirts of Philadelphia with his wife Jennifer, a Bernese Mountain dog (Maggie), two bunnies (Samantha and Tabitha), and a dove named Steve.
