Review: Magic, comedy and Vaudeville
This past Saturday afternoon, I was privileged to spend an afternoon with my kids and wife watching two great magician entertainers, James Jordan and Ryan Pilling. My kids are still talking about it!
Prior to the show, my daughter was arguing profusely that “magic is not real!” After the show she kept asking me “Why didn’t you tell me that magic was real?!”
Although the show wasn’t packed — 82 people total — it should have been. It seems there are a lot of Revelstokians and their children who missed out on a very memorable show. Those who were there had a blast!

Review: James Jordan's Vaudevillian
From The Marble:
James Jordan has Vaudeville in his veins, and what he puts together is a magical, humorous, and enjoyable spectacle for the whole family.
Jordan stars in Vaudevillian, a show featuring original magic tricks, some inspired by the notes of his real life great-grandfather who himself was a magician in the days of Vaudeville. Jordan begins the show with some simple tricks with his hat, then slowly ramps things up with new twists on classic tricks, and even the world’s most dangerous card trick to top it all off.

A question of insurance
James Jordan is looking for an insurance carrier that covers magicians.
Does anyone out there have some advice for James?
WTF pal insurance exclusively forbids insuring magicians! Perhaps because of our Arcane nature? Any suggestions? @canadasmagic

Calgary: Garden Variety Show
From the Garden Variety Show newsletter:
If that wasn't enough talent, the show's hosted by magicians James Jordan and Ryan Pilling!
April 26, 2012 - 7:30 pm
Past the halfway point and entering the home stretch, the Garden Variety Show has almost finished their third season. Spectacular juggling, mind blowing magic and illusions, and some of the best stand up comedians in Canada. Every show seems to be better than the last, leaving every audience member with something wonderful to try and describe the next day at work.
This month on the Garden Variety Show, magician and expert balloon sculptor TD Sparks will be premiering a brand new magic effect, never before seen in Calgary. YoYo master Song Yao will amaze and astound, along with our juggler Jeff Olynek. As usual we feature a local singer song writer every month, this month Kaley Kinjo bass player for the Plaid Tounged Devils and so many other popular Calgarian bands will present us with his unique solo project.

Calgary: The Garden Variety Show
Tip of the hat again to The Magician's Assistant for letting me know about Calgary's Garden Variety Show. The vaudeville variety review takes place the last Thursday of every month and is hosted by comedy magician, James Jordan. It features a cast of local and international variety performers: magicians, jugglers, ventriloquists, comedians and musicians who create an experience of vaudeville and late night chat.
The line up for this month's show includes magician and balloon sculptor TD Sparks.
Thanks again Gwyn!
