Canadians at Blackpool 2020
Updated January 27th to add:
From the Blackpool Magic Convention website, I see that Jay Sankey and The Evasons are scheduled to attend.
Who am I missing?
Aside:
- Eagle-eyed reader John Harrison noted that Chris Ramsay will be in attendance at Blackpool this year.
From the Blackpool Magic Convention website, I see that Jay Sankey and The Evasons are scheduled to attend.
Who am I missing?
Aside:
- Have you ever been at a magic convention and found yourself with 17 seconds where there's nothing to do?
- Have you ever searched for a distraction so that you wouldn't have to make eye contact with the humans in your proximity?
- Do you fancy yourself to have Sherlock-esque powers of observation?
Don't forget about Magic Convention Bingo! Click here for your Bingo card and click refresh until you generate a card you like. Simply print it off and bring it to your next magic convention!
Stay alert and keep an eye open for the items on your card. See how long it takes for you to get your first bingo or even fill your card!
Remember to be respectful and don't shout out "bingo" during presentations or performances. And don't bother the conference organizers with questions about Magic Convention Bingo -- they might not even know it's going on!

Guelph: Mastering the mystery of the mind with The Evasons
From the River Run Centre:
Thursday, April 16, 2020
Jeff and Tessa Evason make extrasensory connections using an incredible talent known as “second sight.” Audience members are amazed when Tessa perceives birth dates, personal details and even the names of distant loved ones — all while standing on stage wearing a blindfold. The Evasons intuitive gifts will captivate you!
“This act is so good – we’ve never seen better!” – Penn & Teller

[Guest post] Can Canada's top mentalists fool Penn and Teller?
The following is a guest post from Clive Court.
--
MEET THE EVASONS---THEY READ A LOT OF MINDS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. BUT CAN THEY FOOL PENN AND TELLER?
TORONTO,Ont--(Sept.1) The Evasons are a Toronto couple who make a good living reading the minds of corporate and political leaders on the U.S. East Coast.
On Wednesday, Sept.7, at 8pm.ET, they will challenge the famous Las Vegas magical duo on Penn and Teller:Fool Us! the popular primetime series on the the CW Network.
Recognized as one of the world's top mentalism acts, The Evasons appear to be part of an emerging trend which is bringing more magical and visual entertainers to primetime TV audiences in the United States.
Network TV series like NBC's America's Got Talent, CW's Masters of Illusion, and Penn and Teller:Fool Us! are introducing a greater number of magical and visual entertainers to North American viewers. This, in turn, has meant more exposure for Canadian magicians.
Why is this? Because Canadian magical entertainers are ranked among the best in the world by other nations. The Evasons are known worldwide for their second-sight act where a blindfolded Tessa describes in intimate detail the personal items held up by members of the audience.
Although based in Toronto and Annapolis, Maryland (just outside Washington,DC) Jeff and Tessa are in demand around the world as entertainers for major corporate and international conventions.
Born in Toronto, Jeff met Tessa in the early 80s while hosting a fashion show where she was a model. Tessa was working part-time while studying at Ryerson University. They have been together since 1983.

NB. A great example of a Canadian magician appearing on a US network primetime show was Winnipeg's Darcy Oake introducing guest artists from The Illusionists (on Broadway) on the August 31 edition of America's Got Talent. Among the other Canadian magicians appearing on US primetime TV this summer were: Shawn Farquhar, Murray SawChuck, and Vitaly Beckman (from Vancouver); Mahdi Gilbert, Neil Croswell, Ryan Joyce, and Matt DiSero (from Toronto); and world-champion magician, Greg Frewin, from Niagara Falls.

Review: Glenn Ottaway benefit
From Fordham PR:
On stage, well-known comedians, magicians and even a pair of mentalists celebrated Glenn’s career and encouraged the audience to dig deep to help Glenn and his depleted bank account. Thanks to comedian/magician Matt Disero, who created the one-night only comedy concert, some of the country’s top headliners volunteered their time and talent, so here’s a brief pictorial account of The Rocky Horror: It’s a Wonderful Life Anyway show.
