Ed Fernandez: Inspirational Canadian Magician

Fourth in this year's Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase, is Ed Fernandez!


Ed Fernandez: Inspirational Canadian Magician.

Ed has been an inspiration for me when I first met him in 1976 at a night club in St. Catharines. He was touring with Johnny Green and the Greenmen (the Jokers henchmen from the original Batman TV series).

He toured the world with his illusion show on premier cruise lines. He had the largest Illusion show of its kind in Santo Domingo. He was an act in Liberace's show in Las Vegas and appeared in many television talk shows.

This past year he suffered a serious health scare and got through it with flying colours. We worked together in Quebec this past September.

Ed performs Mentalism and Hypnosis these days. What an inspiration!

Alain Choquette: Inspirational Canadian Magician

Fourth in this year's Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase, is Alain Choquette!


Alain Choquette: Inspirational Canadian Magician.

Alain Choquette embodies the spirit of Canadian magic with his unique blend of storytelling, wonder, and heartfelt connection to audiences. In 2025, his performances reminded me how magic can transcend language and culture, inspiring me to pursue creativity with authenticity and passion. He is truly one of the greatest entertainers to ever exist in the world of magic, and his career continues to show that true magic lies in touching people’s hearts.
