Carisa Hendrix in the Sturgis Journal and winner of the Abbott's Get Together Jack Gwynne award

Congratulations Carisa!

 

From the August 8th article "Despite obstacles, Magic Get-Together entertains local crowds" by Jef Rietsma at the Sturgis Journal

“When Michael Carbonaro had to bow out earlier in the week, Lance stepped up and, even though he wasn’t here this week to perform, he agreed to fill in,” Bordner said. “Lance was the ultimate pinch hitter in this case, like having Babe Ruth come to bat for Lou Gehrig.”

Here’s another example.

“Then, we had Lucy Darling came in at the last minute, she flew in immediately from somewhere out west, I don’t even recall where,” Bordner said. “She did an incredible job and really added a lot to the show. A very lucky and fortunate situation for us”

Carisa Hendrix in the Greensboro News & Record and a Doug Henning Easter Egg

From the December 9th article "Meet Carisa Hendrix, host of 'A Magical Cirque Christmas' at Greensboro's Tanger Center" by Dawn Kane in  the Greensboro News & Record:

She won Stage Magician of the Year at the world-famous Magic Castle in Los Angeles.

She has been praised by famous magician David Copperfield as “... a true original — hilarious and delightful. An exceptional new talent in magic.”

...

Tell us about “A Magical Cirque Christmas.”

It is a brand new show ... It’s somewhere between a modern-day fairy tale and a jukebox musical. And then, just to make it a little bit more fun, we have thrown in a whole time travel, nostalgia-through-the-ages aspect. So it’s going to be a whirlwind of intense, beautiful visuals and wonderful music and great acts. And it’s designed to be great for families but really also good for a date night. It’s not a kid show; it’s a family show ... Kids of all ages will like it. But there are a couple double entendres that will go right over their heads.

All of the magic is narratively significant, and really stretched my abilities as a magician both creatively and in terms of sleight of hand.

From the December 9th Facebook post by Carisa Hendrix:

Little tired today, but all that went away when I saw this by my dressing room. This little Canadian magician is so grateful to set foot on a stage that once showcased Doug. Feeling very lucky, needed that boost.

Burlington: Lucy Darling - A Delightfully Charming Magic Show

It appears that tickets are available for both in-person and live stream attendance!

 

From the Burlington Performing Arts Centre:

Fri Oct 29, 2021

Lucy Darling is a lady magician who brings together a potent mix of playful improvisational comedy, witty writing, and impossible magical feats. Evoking comparisons to everyone from Dame Edna to Pee Wee Herman, this edgy, postmodern character is a double shot of magical mischief, with a splash of old Hollywood and a dash of Dorothy Parker.

Her history is shrouded in mystery, several ex-husbands and wives. International traveler, major style and culture icon with desire to share her magical life and gifts with select audiences in high and low places. She loves you all but her disarming wit reveals truthful and delightful insights. A one-of-a-kind entertainer, a throwback who is on the cutting edge. You are about to fall in love with Lucy Darling.

"The Stooge" to appear at Novacon Nov 12 - 14

To learn more about "The Stooge" go to IMDB.

 

From the September 20th Facebook post by Rogelio Fojo:

Magician Carisa Hendrix will be watched closely by the English now...

"At last, The Stooge will be getting a screening in the UK. 

This has been showing at film festivals around the world for the last year or so, bravely masking up and mixing freely. It has gained a huge amount of attention in those socially distanced circles, but I can say it has been picking up awards and commendations everywhere it goes. Looking at the array of award bouquets, below, I am amazed, impressed and very pleased by the persistence of the producers. The festival circuit can be a hard road to travel, but they have done well in these socially constricted times.
The film runs for a mere twenty minutes, but it packs a lot into that brief time. It is an essay on stage magic and was for me when I wrote the original short story a kind of ironic commentary on and footnote to The Prestige. The story can be found in my recent collection Episodes, but that really does not give even a hint of the way it has been widened and enriched by director Rogelio Fojo. He has come up with real mystery, good surprises, excellent music and several moments of beauty. In the opening credits there is a classic sleight of hand, filmed in close-up from below: you see every move the illusionist makes, yet will still be baffled by it. Full credit goes to Fojo and his team. 

I am arranging for a copy to be made available for showing at Novacon. This takes place between 12th and 14th November this year, at the Palace Hotel, in Buxton. I shall be there. "
