James Was born in Ogden, Utah, and at the age of four, his family moved to the magical island of Hawaii. James has always sought out “magic” in all its forms. He says that the closest he has gotten to real magic is when a client who has smoked cigarettes for forty years, then leaves Dayley’s Hypnotherapy office with the new mindset of being a permanent ex-smoker and never touches a cigarette again. The second closest thing to real magic is Mister Dayley’s uncanny ability to bend spoons.
