Al-Noor Jaffer, also known as Sampuly, was born in Lindi, Tanzania. He completed his ‘O’ Levels there before pursuing his ‘A’ Levels in Nairobi, Kenya. Al-Noor then went to Luebeck, Germany, where he completed a diploma program in Hotel Management. After apprenticing for a year in Germany, Al-Noor migrated to Canada in 1978. He had always aspired to be in show business especially in the field of optical illusion, and his passion was reawakened when he took in a few magic shows during a vacation to Las Vegas. He bought a kit to learn how to perform tricks, and subsequently paid a few established magicians to help him hone his skills. Al-Noor is occasionally featured at charity events in addition to performing at various other functions. Al-Noor’s personal website is at
