unique concept of LIVE PAINTING, through which he captures the essence of special events live
on canvas as it happens. He has been involved locally and abroad in private solo and various
group exhibitions since 2009.
This novel entertainment genre becomes a truly unforgettable part of the event, which is captured
and memorialised as an artwork. Guests love watching how the abstract expressions unfold on
canvas, representing the mood, the sounds and rhythms, and the highlights of the event in a most
unique and colourful way. The final product is the perfect memento of the occasion and a valuable
piece to collect.
Nico has been invited to artistically capture various events throughout South Africa and
abroad. Events such as A Tribute to Samora Machel, painting alongside world renowned
musicians and politicians who had come to honour the life of the late Samora Machel. The painting
was presented to Mrs Graca Macel, her husband Dr Nelson Mandela, and the Machel’s Family.

Inspirational Illusionist (Mr. Magic)
"I met Jordan at a BizCon networking event in Burlington, Ontario. His presentation, blending magic with business insights, was impressive, interactive, entertaining and thought-provoking all at once. At that event, he made me reflect on how I present myself to other business owners and how to leave a lasting impact.
The best way to experience it for yourself? Ask him for his business card the next time you meet. It was such a memorable moment that I ended up framing his card at work."

Teambuilding Galore
"We recently partnered with Team Building Galore for a corporate team-building session, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Their activities were not only engaging and well-structured but also aligned perfectly with our company’s objectives and culture.
The instructor was exceptionally energetic, knowledgeable, and truly brought the group to life. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it was clear that he knew his material inside and out. He kept everyone involved, motivated, and having fun throughout the day — without losing sight of the bigger picture around teamwork, communication, and collaboration.
Every activity was thoughtfully designed to promote unity, trust, and problem-solving, all while keeping things light-hearted and enjoyable. Our team walked away not just more connected, but re-energized and inspired.
We highly recommend Team Building Galore to any organization looking to strengthen team dynamics in a fun, meaningful way. Looking forward to working with them again in the future!"
