"You have the power to help your heart and muscles grow strong by saying yes to exercise and nutritious foods."
Greetings, my name is Jed Doherty. In high school and college I excelled on the soccer field, winning numerous awards and championships. As a coach at Boston College High school I was known for developing well conditioned championships teams. Later, as a social worker I was just as successful helping youthful offenders return to school and make better choices. Unfortunately, as I was helping these youth change their lives my life was also changing, for the worse. I developed a sedentary lifestyle. My weight skyrocketed.
"Jedlie's jokes and goofy dancing had the kids in stitches. But beyond the wackiness and magic Jedlie's program had a serious message for students."
Bob Allen, Educational Reporter
Towson Times, Towson, MD

In 1983 I made a dramatic change in the course of my life. I left social work to create my on stage character Jedlie. Through the study of various physical theatrical disciplines like magic, dance and mime I rediscovered the joy of exercise and healthy living.
I created "Magic For The Heart!!!" to motivate students to fall in love with exercise and healthy choices. Though the use of respectful, interactive magic tricks and illusions students will learn;
- That their life is a precious and fragile gift that needs loving care and attention
- the Five easy to perform exercises that stregthen muscles and super charges metabolism
-That you don't need a ball or a team to exercise; dancing, swimming, walking are just some of the great ways we can pump up our hearts
- That exercise can help us do better in school
