Ardan James – AJ the Animated Illusionist

When you combine an incredible artistic communication style with an equally incredible message that shares on the love of God it will impact young people… and stick with them!

Ardan James, or AJ, started as a ventriloquist but found that neither he nor the dummy were verbally funny...so he taught himself pantomime. After completing his degree in the media arts and a minor in education, he put together his favorite areas of each of the arts, and with audience participation, developed his award-winning act.

Europe, Japan, Australia, and Canada are a few of the countries he's traveled to, in addition to the 48 contiguous states.

He has been performing professionally for over 15 years now, writing all his own material. He has an incredible way of messaging the gospel through the arts. Dance, illusions, physical comedy, gravity defying stunts, mime and a host of other techniques demonstrate the love of God in a way you’ve never seen before. AJ’s performance also makes a wonderful compliment to other dynamic speakers we have available.

He has opened for Michael W. Smith, Mac King, Gary Shandling, Howie Mandel, Ray Romano, Kevin Nealon and received many accolades and awards.

Ardan James – AJ the Animated Illusionist, combines the hilarious expressions of Mr. Bean with the creativity of Buster Keaton, the agility of Dick Van Dyke, the spontaneity of Robin Williams and the wonder of Houdini and rolls them all up in one. If you’re looking for that unique element that will capture an audiences attention and still communicate a life-changing message, then AJ is ready to join you in your efforts to reach youth.
