HADLEN'S TIMELINE
As a child, Hadlen began his journey to control his mind beginning with Martial Arts. Learning to control his mind and body, he began to win 1st in competitions consistently. In his teens, Hadlen’s focus shifted to schooling. Learning how he learned so he could adapt to various teaching methods, no matter the teacher.
After Graduating High School, with Honours, Hadlen enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan. It was here where he found the deeper world of magic and entered the “rabbit hole.” Everywhere Hadlen goes, all he can think about is magic. Practicing magic, learning magic, performing magic, 8-10 hours a day. It was here where he learned the roots Magic has in Psychology. Combining
knowledge in both areas, Hadlen found out that Sleight-of-Mind is possible.
Growing as a performer, leaving University, Hadlen began working various jobs. From a delivery company servicing Saskatchewan, selling shoes at Sport Chek, Loss Prevention Officer for Wal-Mart, to selling services at Shaw and SaskTel. Learning about business, marketing, and sales from first hand experience. At age 21, Hadlen went to Las Vegas to attend Hypnosis and Magic Seminars. He now acquired all the tools he needed to take it to the next level. The next 2 years he began to work even harder to reach the level of Full-Time Entertainer.
In 2011, Hadlen quit his final “normal job” at SaskTel to pursue his passion in Magic. Hadlen’s talents have since taken him to 11 countries and touring USA and Canada with his skills. As a self-taught magician, Hadlen began to expand towards Mentalism and Hypnosis. Traveling to Vegas, yearly, to attend workshops and seminars about Hypnosis.

Training in Martial Arts since he was 8 years old, Hadlen was presented the opportunity to represent Team Canada at the World Martial Arts Games in England 2012.

He lost 60lbs in 2 years and is more focused and determined than ever before. Part of Hadlen’s journey is Disc Golf and Hadlen plans to tour with his performances and play as many courses along the way as possible. All while documenting the adventures alongside the love of his life, Kara Lee.
