Who is Jungle Jimmy?
The Man Behind The Magic
Jungle Jimmy — a.k.a. Jimmy Vee — has been helping people plan and create awesome events for more than 30 years. His love for entertaining was sparked in the third grade, the first time he saw a magic show.
He started at eight years old
Jimmy started practicing ventriloquism at the age of 8, and is today one of the leading professional ventriloquists and kid-show entertainers performing.
He is a member of the North American Association of Ventriloquists, the International Ventriloquist Association, KIDABABRA and the Puppeteers of America. He also organized and headed the Central Florida Ventriloquist Association for many years.
Jimmy is professionally trained in improv comedy and holds a B.A. in Advertising and Public Relations and an M.A. in Organizational Management.
The day job is marketing
He is the co-author of the best-selling book Gravitational Marketing: The Science Of Attracting Customers. Jimmy is a serial entrepreneur, a world-renowned marketing guy, and a highly sought-after speaker and trainer.
His marketing campaigns have been heard all over the US and Canada — and even featured in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not.
He has co-authored dozens of business articles for Entrepreneur, Investor’s Business Daily, Direct Marketing News, Express: A Publication of The Washington Post, American Venture Magazine, South Florida CEO Magazine and Chief Marketer.
Jimmy and his ventriloquist dummy Joe Cappuccino have been seen on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Books for kids, and a foundation behind them
Jimmy is the author of a shelf full of award-winning children’s books that encourage kids to embrace what’s unique and different about themselves, and help boost their confidence and self-esteem.
He also founded Read, Laugh, Learn, a non-profit that gets books and live author experiences into the hands of children who wouldn’t otherwise get them.
But the birthday shows came first — and they’re still the part he loves most.
