Since the age of 10, professional magician Donald Dunphy has made the world of magic his home. Donald's interest in magic began a little before then, when he won a magic kit in Cub Scouts, in a contest to find the largest maple leaf. Little did he realize that this symbol of his country would lead to entertaining and enchanting over 4000 audiences across Canada, during the next 40+ years.
Donald has become a favorite with children’s and family audiences because of his special ability to delight and entertain. He skillfully blends the elements of magic, illusion, enthusiasm, comedy, storytelling, mystery, and audience involvement into quality presentations for family audiences of all shapes and sizes.
The Magic of Donald Dunphy
Donald and Catherine Dunphy
One thing that is very unique about Donald, is that in addition to performing, he has a background working in child care for 10+ years. During his time working in after school programs and summer day camps (and additional years as a Sunday school volunteer), Donald honed his skills at managing groups of kids of various ages. Donald loves working with kids, and it shows.
Donald and Catherine Dunphy -- Donald and Catherine have been married since June 2012, and live in Victoria, BC, Canada. Catherine sometimes comes along to Donald's shows, to help as his "roadie" (when her work schedule allows). She doesn't perform on stage with him, but she helps to set up and pack down the show.
