He is really a nice guy, and I cant find a way of doing this without looking like a dick

If you could provide us with a little more information if would be helpful to provide us with more context. Why do you want to change schools?

 

If your research or field of study will be different, you could easily say your research interests have changed. If you hope to live and eventually begin a career in North America then this is a valid reason as well as grad school is the perfect opportunity to make connections in your field that may lead to employment.

I'd leave a post-it note on his door when I know he's not in his office.
