Looking for something fun to do with the family this Halloween?
We’ve got the perfect thing:
Balloon animals and delicious treats for the kids! A costume contest (with prizes for everyone)! And of course a mind-blowing family-friendly magic show!
Best of all it’s happening the night BEFORE Halloween - so you can still go trick or treating the next day!
HERE’S THE CATCH: the last two times we hosted a family Halloween show we had to turn people away because we ran out of seats! Don’t let that happen to you!
This pinned post will update regularly as new dates are added! Will I get to
see YOU at a show soon?

Born on May 8, 1931 in Winnipeg, MB to James E and Celenna Millard. He
passed away on August 14, 2024 in Edmonton, AB. He is survived by his wife,
Denise Millard, and was predeceased by his first wife, Gwen, and second
wife, Xenia. He is also survived by their children, Karen and Lisa Millard,
and Michael Millard. In addition, he is survived by his step-children
Luranne Miller, Nancy Nix, Robert, Timothy, and Philip Stockley, and Nicola
Watson, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Many years ago, I had the pleasure of getting to know Garnett Millard, an
extremely enthusiastic hobbyist magician. We spent time together, honing
some of his acts before he would head south to Palm Desert for the
winters. While there, he and other members of their local magic club
would regale each other with various tricks and partake in free lectures from
visiting magicians. He really seemed to love it down there.
