Phil Jacques

Better know as Man Tricks, Phil Jacques is nothing but balls to the wall.

It is all or nothing for Phil, and you can find him always locking in on any rail perfectly centered -- no matter how big or small. With stand out parts in Capita’s “Defenders of Awesome” and “Déjà Vu,” Phil has placed himself on the map as a Canadian beast.
