About Bert 

​

Do you love the thrill and wonder of magic? I always have. I got my start as a socially awkward kid who was enthralled with magic. I would save every penny to head to the Magic Store and buy great tricks to add to my collection. Performing for family and friends became my passion!

​

You could say I was a magic-obsessed kid who didn’t change much... just grew bigger. I still love performing as much today as I did then! I’ve been running my own entertainment company since 1988, bringing joy and wonder to children and families.

I live in beautiful Oakville, Ontario, and have four fantastic children. I’m also lucky to share life with my Wife Kate, who keeps me grounded, laughing, and inspired every day.They think I have the best job in the world, and you know what? So do I!​

​

My son Ben has also joined Presswood Entertainment and is now following in my footsteps as a magician. Alongside his Carnival of Fun, Ben brings balloons, bubbles, magic, and high-energy fun to events, and is quickly becoming a wonderful entertainer in his own right.

​

My daughter Adelaide, who once planned to be a face painter, took her artistic skills in a different direction and is now a full-time tattoo artist. Her incredible work can be found on Instagram at @ADELAIDEINK.

​

My kids once tried to add up my years of experience and estimated that I’ve performed in over 12,000 events during my career as an entertainer. That’s a lot of smiles, laughs, and unforgettable memories!

​

In addition to performing, I’m proud to be the Canadian distributor for Foamdaddy, the industry leader in foam party equipment. I also develop and produce the high-quality gel used for foam parties across the country.

​

Every time I’m invited to be part of someone’s celebration, I feel honoured. Whether it’s a birthday, a school event, or a fun fair, my goal is to create unforgettable moments of joy, laughter, and magic that will be remembered for years to come.
