Wes Barker is a magician and comedian doing funny tricks, and telling great stories. Watch here for hilarious magic, stunts, and pranks. I am funniest magician that is also a stand-up comic, or maybe I'm the comic who is best at magic. Either way you get the idea. I tour all over doing colleges, comedy clubs, and corporate events. Catch the adventures and tricks right here. With this magician / comedian based out of Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. I make funny stuff. That’s my only rule. Everything has to be funny, from street magic to stage illusions, as long as there is a joke to be made. I do magic tricks, sketches, stand-up comedy, card tricks, mind reading, and tricks with naked people. I’ve been on America’s Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, MTV Greatest Party Stories Ever, and Wizard Wars. You can find me pulling pranks on friends, gags on strangers, or just general sleight of hand, magic, illusions, and the occasional bar bet.

"Go Wes" by Eric Vanier - Zábava
What was your worst job??
Deep freezer slaughterhouse order picking...lasted a month lol
construction worker. at the age of 13
My first job was pumping gas and cleaning toilets at a gas station. I'll never forget the weird stuff I experienced...never.....
Working at the liquor store. Like any shitty retail job but dealing with alcoholics.
Maybe not my worst job. But definitely one that was a lot tougher than I expected. Many years ago I did magic for kids birthday parties at McDonald's. (way back when they did those kinds of things) Kids are a tough crowd to get things past. Their eyes and minds aren't trained yet like adults. Misdirection was a bear.... I truly admire and am in awe of magicians like Eric and others that can handle those little rug rats. LOL!!!
GUY! You always have the best stories! xox SO GOOD!
I've worked in the food industry my whole life, and now I work in a grocery store doing tricks for customers and their kids. I love it! You're great WES!🍻 thank you for your videos
Love storytime with Wes!
Worst job was interning at a silver mining company having to cold-call brokers all day. Was by myself, everyone yelled at me on the phone, and I honestly felt like I was going to puke every time I dialed. 😂Nothing like selling people something they don't want to buy. 😉
Hahaha wow. Yeah, that’s the fucking worst for sure.
Thanks for the video, Wes! Many of us enjoying hearing stories of how you (and other magicians) got started in the business, and about your life before. So, thanks! The most physical job I ever had was laborer for a utility contractor. We installed underground power lines. I would sweat in the sun all day, six days per week, and then come home and shower...and that shower was the best thing in the world, just washing the days sweat and dirt off of me. It felt great! I have worked in IT now for many years...and have forgotten what its like to sweat, but I remember that feeling in the shower, and relaxing afterward. Thanks!
Curt you hit that home man. That after work shower when you’ve really been going all day. That’s the best 🙌🏻
Wes let me tell you this has been the best video you have ever put out...OK wait second best. Beer fishing was the best. But with this video I feel like we get to know you even more. It makes me feel like I've known you my whole life. You so FREAKEN AWESOME BRO I can't wait until your next VIDEO. Love ya
Loving these heart to heart videos you doing! I think it’s really cool to hear what your past was like. The only job I had (and still have) is a party host a trampoline park and they tip pretty well
That job sounds awesome
Thank you Wes for the well told stories :)
"Driving a forklift just whoo!"😂
I can def relate. I drove a forklift at thrifty supply and loved it. I work at autozone now and I love working on cars, and also getting to deliver parts. It's one of my favorite jobs I've had.
My worst job was McDonalds. Between 11am and 2pm we weren't allowed to leave our "stations". One day we weren't very busy and I really had to pee so I asked to use the restroom but my manager said No. So I waited as long as I could and proceeded to ask again, by now it was probably 1pm, again my manager said No. So needless to say I quit that day because I just really had to pee lol! No regrets though that job sucked!
*Wes* Your magic and comedy is definitely the foundation of this YT channel. But adding this kind of video is just taking it to the next level. (Thank you for sharing) And to answer some of your questions in the video. Yes, I agree, yep, yes, absolutely and I do understand. "Seriously" even though i haven't had the same jobs. (except magician part time) I can relate with and agree with your views. Looking forward to your next video. Continued success and happiness buddy.
Thanks Norm!
Hey Wes , great subject I’m sure most of us relate to. I’ve had many jobs through my life, I’m 47 now. But your right the best jobs I’ve had when I worked with a group of guys and the comrodery and jokes and tricks people play on each other. It was sobering to hear you’ve had many jobs and just a normal guy. I took welding in high school and always was a fast learner and had a knack for it and was good at it, although I never really worked a job specifically welding but have always used it through the years at different jobs because I was that guy who knows how to. I got a job working for a big name lawn care company, not cutting or trimming but for more rich people who want beautiful lawns fertilizing and weed control giving people beautiful green lush carpet lawns, I got state certified and started of working with the owner in one van and grew the company to 6 trucks and a crew of guys that I was their boss , I grew his company and was paid well but it never sat right with me that I was the one making all of it happen and he was the one making the real money and had always thought of starting my own business welding creating things, but it’s really hard giving up a solid paycheck for a gamble of is my business going to work and sustain my life. Well 6 years ago I got hurt and could no longer work a normal 9-5 and thankfully had my welding to fall back on and now that’s what I do is create art and repurpose things to make either useful functional things or art and I often help people take their ideas and bring them to life. It’s thankfully gotten both but positive feedback and I’ve been doing quite well everything considered. I’m hoping soon to gain some recognition for the work I do so that my art , sculpture pieces gain more of a notoriety with collectors or just people who pay big dollars for creative art . I give people things that are a one of a kind and can’t be reproduced and will last for generations and can be personalized or whatever the skies the limit as to what can be done, your imagination and creativity are the only things that limits the possibilities so that’s where I’m at today with my life evolution and hope that it takes me and my family to where I’d like to be in life and I really enjoy working for myself and making something for someone that they had an idea in their head that I’m able to pull out and make reality and give it to them and the reactions and joy people get is Awsome. Thanks again for sharing and great relatable subject.
Hey Wes! Great video. Was super cool to hear your perspective on the different jobs you've had. Worst job I've had was tutoring rich kids. The bad part was their parents.
best thing was summer camps working from 6am to sometimes as late as 1 or 2 am loved it just the hard work and making people smile
It’s great to hear you talk about your thoughts ! I like the 3 dimensional up&down&back&forth life cycle idea.
I think many of us - at least I do - recongnize ourselves in your life story, like ok studying this is not for me or this job does not make me happy. Then what I am gonna do ?
Lucky you you found magic 😉
And dang good socks
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Now u feel so great for taking the vacation with the lockdowns :) take care mate.
I agree with you 100%. My memories with fellow Marines on deployment were the fondest.
I do miss being a mechanic. Now I just answer texts messages all day.
My favourite job has been working as a comissionaire at a theatre. Basically manning the cloakroom before shows and then watching the shows (while making sure the audience behaved). Also a great work crew. Absolutely joy that one.
Very nice the driver contacted you and gave you back your phone!!!
I totally agree with you on the hard job, better comradery. Was in the Marines for like 11years, 10 months, 2 days. The deployments were difficult but made us all closer.
Just loved listening. It was so interesting that my gf watched just out of interest. Thanks for sharing Wes!
Hey hey!! Anytime the gfs will watch that’s something 🙌🏻 thanks Kyle.
amazing stuff
Well this was great vid! And totally agree! My greatest jobs was gravedigger, work at fish factory and construction worker. 12 years ago slipped my left hand through bandsaw, and now I'm at accident retirement at the age of 36... That sucks... Really miss that hard work! And work buddies!
Great vid wes
Magician by night, staircase builder by day. That sounds really crazy: D
Can totally relate to the hard work and camaraderie. I’ve been in the military for 14 years and that’s the best part of it all.
Thank you for serving our country.
My first job was at 13 years old cleaning up at a sawmill, I loved it. It was a few hours a day and got me plenty of money for the weekends to go rent jetskis.
man, stories are awesome! ive been thru like 10 jobs myself, but they are mostly the same - fiber optics technician. Why so many of the same - i moved to other country 5 years ago. And been working since i was 13 years old
Bonding through shared misery creates very tight bonds. You have a shared experience no one else has so it's like being in an exclusive club
When working with you hands you get a sense of accomplishment that you don't always get sitting behind a desk.
So I started off working at an auto repair shop (my cousin owns it), moved to selling hearing aid batteries online and over the phone (made me a really patient understanding person), on to working at a urology clinic (very interesting things learned there), next a general practitioners office (small town, I learned a lot), then a small town distillery that turned huge! Left there to go back to the medical field, I am now working for NHC (started there about 2-3 wks before covid hit)
I definitely agree that suffering builds friendships! Friends that I have made in the military so far will be my best friends for life.
Oh hell yeah. Military seems exactly the right place for that!
Thank you for serving our country.
awesome content
So many jobs in my lifetime, from military to zookeeper to fraud prevention. Worst job was working in a smoothie shop. Worked there for 6 hours, until i saw a manager drop a case of frozen fruit on the scum covered floors and put them back in the box.
As for the hardest jobs building the best camaraderie, completely agree. I still talk to guys from my time in the miltary.
Great vlog man... hope the vacation helped you refresh a bit!
Thanks Drew! Holy crap. Those all sounds super interesting. Military always makes for great stories. But I gotta say I’m extra intrigued by the zookeeper one!
Thank you for serving our country.
@@WesBarker long story short, i had an "In" for that job. My mom has worked at the local zoo for 30 years now, so when i was looking for a first job, i ended up working there. A year later, i was a keeper... not with the lions or anything, but I was the King of the wallabies! Haha
@@crmcsys1214 thanks for the support! I appreciate it.
Yay! Vaca!
wes, do you have any tips on how to get started on getting gigs and doing magic professionally? Would love to hear advice from you
I'll talk about that soon.
You're an inspiration, Wes! Dropping everything to become what you want to be. That's awesome!
Thanks Rex. Super appreciate that man.
I work as a research assistant at the university, which is mostly office job where you're trying to figure some math out and code some algorithms etc.
But there was also a part where me and my colleague had to build the whole laboratory from scratch. It was so good to break away from the office to do some actual physical labour (like you mixing magic with stair business) and spill sweat and some blood with the colleague to get the thing done from start to finish. Totally understand what you're talking about.
Sometimes I get really saturated with research and the only thing I want is to move to the mountains and raise sheep or something lol. Do you ever get that feeling with magic?
Great story telling Wes!Thank you for sharing this!
My jobs were as follows:
1. Newspaper boy
2. Working at a peach fruit can factory
3. Pizza boy (also a waiter)
4. Internet cafe (repairing pc's or serving ppl at the store mostly)
5. Samsung service center (repairing printers,call centers,pc's)
6. Municipal police officer
7. Prison guard (with some of the toughest prisoners around)
8. Municipal police officer (again)
The worst one by far, believe it or not was the fruit can factory, where we had to work for 8 hours in 40+ degrees with only 15min break and the bugs the smell and the humidity, were unbearable.
And all that for as little as 30 euro a day.
After that, i never ate canned fruit again xd
Holy crap. Crazy list! Would never have guess the fruit factory.. but it make sense now that you say it.
@@WesBarker It was that bonding that you mentioned with my best friend but all the rest was hell from the supervisors and the managers all the way to the rest co-workers and the work itself. I lasted 2 summers there.
I delivery appliances and and other hardware and it’s a long day and labor intensive but it feel s so good and honest at the end of a long day
yeah wes my dad was an army guy and he did suffer a lot, but the guys he worked with there are still his closest buds
I thought someone had longer toes than me then you said it was a wide angle lens 😂
😂 no. You’re are the longest.
They should have said “life socks!”
I definately relate i kinda like the physical roles. I think fabricating steel access ramps for the disabled was probably the funnest job i had. Unfortunately i had 1 week off sick an was instantly fired :/ shame employers just dont care about the health of their staff more than profit
Worst job, dairy farmer oh wait that's still my job 😭
😂 😂 😂
Hello again Wes 👋
Sweet 😋
I started on mowing lawns! oh those days... but I was rural and I got about $10 maybe $15 on a really large lawn... you were making really good money, and I'm guessing you didn't have to bike several kms one way to do the work too! Least favorite job, selling vacuums,yep, I did that. Had to quit because I felt so wrong. I'm not a sales guy.
I totally agree on the physical labour. I also like the fact that you've actually "made" something at the end of the day. I work in IT now... not quite the same. On vacations, yea... really hard to take, but really important to do. Been like 10 years since I had an actual weeks vacation away... need to fix that.
Selling vacuum cleaners wow! Thought that was only for the movies. Hells ye, take a vacation if you can!
😂😂😂🔥
Best job was brush cutting beers and chainsaws same with landscaping beers and rock wall builds worst might have been dish washer in industrial kitchens or recycling centre where people would bring there disgusting science experiments
Yeeeeeeaaaahhhh Wes! The worst job honestly, is no job. Cuz when the wind isnt blowing you got to get creative, like for instance carpentry, it's always nice to have something handy to fall back on.😎👍🍻
100% so glad you pointed that out. Absolutely true.
@@WesBarker also you didn't realize but your trip to New York gave you content, your phone was lost in a NYC Uber for what a day? IMAGINE THE CONTENT DUDE!!!!! and go...
Worst job...working in a curry factory during the school summer holidays. It was back breaking and so smelly, and I worked with 4 other full time guys who had all been in juvie or prison. They scared the shit out of me!!
Best job...Professional sports DJ (specialising in Ice Hockey). When you have 5000 to 10000 fans all out for a good time, there is no better feeling than giving it to them. Unlike in Canada/USA we create a big party atmosphere with loads of dancing, clapping, singing & chanting music., and interacting with fans with the mic.
True story...I once got a standing ovation...Playing against Manchester's arch enemy the Sheffield Steelersr, who had the league's biggest and baddest goon. After trying to fight everyone, we're halfway through the 3rd period and he tries to go with one of our smaller forwards. Unbelievably our guy agrees and they both drop the gloves. Goon leaps forward and throws a massive hay-maker, which would have took our guy's head clean off his shoulders....had he not done a perfect Floyd Mayweather and lent his upper body backwards. Goon overbalances with the momentum and falls flat on his back, our guy dusts his hands off and cooly skates away. Why the standing ovation?? As goon is escorted to the penalty box I play the theme tune from the kids cartoon Noddy (google it), and the whole arena sings along. Happy days 😄😄😄
Holy crap. This is so crap. Thanks man! 😆 love it!
I was also an umpire as a kid.
Dude love you brother, but you are bitchin about these job you didnt wanna do or like to do and I get that. But you live a very awesome life, I bust my fucking balls everyday. Worked in steel warehouses, dirty mechanics, car dealers, and everything that fucking sucks. I have never been on a vacation cause the bills are overwhelming. Life sucks brother, the Bahamas sound like a fucking dream. I'm 30 in chicago in thousand of dollars of debt and it kills me. I have never flown, or seen the ocean. I am happy for you dude, and I love watching the channel grow. Keep it up Wes, much love from Chicago
Did apple take your phone back? They usually have a 14 day free trial
I have had a few jobs from the US Navy to bouncer in a strip club. Currently I work in an auto parts store. Medically limited to part time. Can't really call one job better than all the rest but a few were really really bad. Now I am semi retired and will probably be that way for the next 20 years or so.
Worst job was cable tech. Disgusting houses, rude people and underpaid as hell.
I couldn't live there xD. Firing someone for not accepting changes to a shift or a new shift being offered when it's not 14 days in advance baffles me.
Worst Job I had was hanging off the back of a garbage truck. Absolutely awful. Those guys should be on salary.
Ah man... that’s brutal. The smell must have been something! You ever fall off?
@@WesBarker between the smell, lifting cans all day, and the heat in the summer it was a nightmare. Luckily I never did fall off, but I got plenty of unidentified nasty on me.
😆 it’s funny now. But not at the time I’m sure.
@@WesBarker yeah, it's alright to laugh about now. It's been 10+ years so the trauma has pretty much passed
Worst job.............................oh wait never had one
no views 4 likes 1 comment and you got fired. i think the world is drunk again
HAHAHAHA
Nope nope nope not beer Whisky it's Whiskey that's great
First job was Dickie Dee. As a canadian you should know what that was lol. Did security for a long time...13 years at a casino in Ontario. Long story short for different circumstances I'm working at tim horton. Very physical job as I work nights a d I'm the guy who tears everything down and cleans it for the next day. And yes I missed the physical labour. I'm tired when I go home a d not cause I'm bored but because I actually worked. Crap money but pays the bills right now. Great video actually made me think about a few things. Cheers
Dickie Dee! Yes!! Love it. Thanks for sharing Mike.
@@WesBarker lol I knew you would know it. Those bikes were heavy. But a great summer job touring around my city selling ice cream. Got some free ice cream too of course LOL
Mike Nichol ha ha I was born in northbay you couldn’t be more 🇨🇦 😂 roll up the...RRRRRRIM to win 😜🍻
Mike Nichol we used to chase y’all down for blocks and blocks 😂 my favourite was the ones with a gum ball I especially remember the baseball glove with the gum ball being the base ball ⚾️
Yeah the ice cream was great. There was also a ghost with a gumball nose and of course the rocket lol they once had a card where if you bought so many you'd get one free. I was working a beer league baseball park and Kirk Muller was playing I got him to sign one of those cards it was all I had. Unfortunately I lost it. But good times. Oh and I once carded Eric Lindros at the casino I worked at
No, never had that experience in a job, co workers and manager/supervisors never wanted me to move up or progress, constant butching and complaining no mater if something is done right or not.
I though you said what is the worst hand job I ever got ??? Not fun!
Hahahahaha 😂
Did I hear correctly you grew up in Zürich? Does that mean you speak German? -Grüße aus Bayern
On my feet 8 hours a day and i love it. Lost 10 pounds in a month
Your life is so interesting haha
Calvin Terkildsen imagine being his grandson
it IS more unifying, having a harder job. ask some troopers around. i'm from Ukraine, there are a lot of them and a lot of them are my friends. IT IS unifying no shit
Is it too late to buy those socks...
Why didn't you just use your laptop to find your device and make it ring to alert the driver?
He probably did something like that before contacting Uber. The driver probably wasn't in the car/near the phone

Until you have worked as a barman at the ball at the rodeo at the town of Boulia in the channel country in far western Queensland in Australia you have worked nowhere and done nothing. On that night I discovered a drunk ringer (cowboy) can’t tell the difference between a glass of coke and a quadruple rum and coke and forty drunk ringers can fit in a watch house the size of a shipping container before physics requires they be set free.
You sad it man, and Mark Rowe sad it. The jobs that are hard (phisically) make happiest ppl. Ofc, if on those jobs you arent working alone.
Theres a saying, if you want to make friendship you go either to war or to prison. Sadly, ive been both. Got caught in shitty war in 90s (Croatia) I was going to be a fucking veterinarian, loved animals, nature, rnr, I was a fucking hippie in the middle of shitstorm. And on top of that we were fucked upo really badly, had no weapons, got attacked by pretty strong force (for example, there were 2000 of us defending one town, and we were surrounded by 80k enemies).
I had million jobs since, from working in tie and with a pencil, to fucking building shit, all the way to dealing drugs.
Now, I havea v small firm of 5 guys we are working in camping sites for tourists, building tents (5x6 meters), trough all of Croatia. Its phisyicall just enough. I do go tired, but it aint breaking back hard.
Im happy as a puppy.
That’s an INCREDIBLE life you’ve got there! Wow. Thanks for sharing. Glad you’re happy.
@@WesBarker Id wish it has been less incredible lol.
It has its toll man, we got over run after 4-5 months of fighting and 3 months in complete surrounding.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vukovar
After that all guys that surrendered got executed. Many of them like brothers.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vukovar_massacre
I got out in full blast breach. You wouldnt even believe what we got trough in that assault trough enemy lines. If some Americans got trough this, they would got like 5 movies about my group only lol.
yea... magic, it was pure magic to make yourself into instant special forces and today play guitar tommorrow change it for rpg and blast tanks off.
I am a 19yo Indian guy. I really want to make money. Any tips? Man I am really jobless idiot...
Went 4-5 years without doing anything??
No no. Without doing a physical type job. I was working as a magician during that time.
What happened to the comedian
1st like 1st comment i guess so
Yep. Thanks for being 1st!
