From the Comedy Bar:
Now in its third year touring stages across Ontario, this fast-paced show pairs sharp comedic timing with genuinely baffling magic, the kind that has the room laughing one second and completely stumped the next.
Featuring veteran performers Magic Ian (Ian Batterbury) and Fish the Magish (Rob Fishbaum),these two will have you laughing while you gasp in amazement as they pull unsuspecting volunteers into the mix. That means every show plays out differently, and nobody onstage, including the magicians, quite knows how it'll end.

From the September 7th article "The Business of Lucy Darling: How Carisa Hendrix Went From Performing At Haunted Houses To Touring Globally As Her Old Hollywood-Inspired Character – Comedy Means Business Podcast" by Matt Grobar at Deadline:
When data suggested that Lucy could go from playing to audiences in the hundreds to theaters with a capacity in the thousands, Hendrix put her own money behind the theory to get promoters behind her, absorbing tens of thousands of dollars in expenses to book venues in the Pacific Northwest through four-wall rental arrangements. It was a nerve-wracking decision, but Hendrix needn’t have worried, as she was able to begin moving large quantities of tickets almost immediately when they went on sale.
Hendrix breaks down the story in full today on Comedy Means Business, unveiling the business mechanics behind her rapid rise. Explaining the community values behind the Lucy Darling experience, which she says has become something like a themed party, she also talks finding “green flags” in collaborators and business partners, the wild experience that is the Las Vegas residency, and much more.Read more and watch the Comedy Means Business Podcast interview.

Curtis - Vancouver's Golden Man of Magic
by The Magic Demon
Exclusive to Canada's Magic
Walk around delightful Granville Island in Vancouver BC this summer and you will see many dazzling and remarkable sights.
The stylish skyline. The always full-of-activity green-blue water. The unusual shops and artisans.
If you are especially lucky you may also see Curtis - Vancouver's Golden Man of Magic. Or as he is officially known, The Gilded Johnson - Independent Living Statue.
Combining magic and Living Statue performance techniques, Curtis has quickly made himself one of the city's most colourful and memorable street performers.
His backstory is an inspiring one. A traumatic BMX-related injury just a couple years ago completely changed his life's trajectory - with him ending up as one of the most iconoclastic buskers in all of Vancouver. But that is only part of his remarkable story.
Check out his website for the full story: BeLivingProof.ca
And be sure to stop and say hello should you see him in person. You will have met not just a golden living statue but a golden living example of overcoming adversity with humour, determination and talent.

Canada's only dedicated b & m magic shop west of the Rockies.
