About Jonathan Scott (reality television personality) in brief

Jonathan Silver Scott is a Canadian reality television personality, construction contractor, illusionist, and television and film producer. He is best known as the co-host, with his twin brother Drew, of the TV series Property Brothers, as well as the program’s spin-offs such as Buying and Selling, Brother Vs. Brother, and Property Brothers: At Home. Scott is also co-founder and executive producer of Scott Brothers Entertainment, which creates TV, film, and digital content for North American and international broadcasters. The brothers have written a home-improvement how-to book, a memoir, and children’s books about construction. In 2020, they released a magazine related to their brand, called Reveal. He and Drew have released two country singles as the group The Scott Brothers. He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a home he co-owns with Drew. He has an older brother, JD, and is the second son of Jim and Joanne Scott. John Ian Scott was born on 28 April 1978, four minutes before his identical twin brotherrew, in Vancouver, British Columbia. As a child, he had seen a magic show one New Year’s Eve that inspired him, and by the age of 10, he was making his own magic props; by 15 he was using a barn as a workshop to create large-scale illusions. John eventually grew tired of making himself up, and began to transition as a performer. He studied the definitive volumes of Tarbell Course in Magic, and sought out professional illusionists David Wilson and Shawn Farquhar, who became mentors and friends.

He joined the Vancouver Magic Circle and the International Brotherhood of Magicians, and over the next decade he won several awards, including 3rd Best Stage Performer of the Pacific Coast Association of Magician at 16. John and his father moved to Alberta, where they began building the parents’ dream house. After graduation, John gravitated more to theater and theater clubs, where he was president of various committees including student government clubs, and the graduation committee of the University of Calgary. The boys attended Thomas Haney Secondary School and, while they both played on the basketball and volleyball teams, Jonathan played on their newly built home, just as the twins were leaving for Calgary to go to university. They made a 250-back mortgage and purchased a seven-bedroom property across the street from their university and cleaned it from their first semester in college, using a vendor to take down the payment and repair it. The twins did not want to be entertainment artists, they did not wants to be “starving artists”. They thought real estate would “ease the purgatory of being out-of-work-of being out of work” during their first year of college, and they cleaned the house and repaired it from the street to the front door. They have a son, John Ian, who is also a magician and has performed in Vegas and Las Vegas. He has a daughter, Joanne.
