Canada's Got Talent: Getting to know the Montreal Trio

On March 4th we shared with you that this season of Canada's Got Talent has quite a few Canadian magic acts. 

We are delighted to have the opportunity to do short interviews with some of the acts again this year.  Kicking off the series is the Montreal Trio!
 

You may already know that:

• the Montreal Trio includes Yannick Lacroix, Marc Trudel, and Michel Huot
• Marc performed close-up, a stage show, and lectured at the 2024 Browser's Bash
• Michel performed a stage show, and lectured at the 2024 Browser's Bash
  
• Michel lectured for the Sid Lorraine Hat and Rabbit Club (IBM Ring 17) last fall 
• in 2024 the Montreal Trio performed at Blackpool and Magifest (please, no spoilers!)
• in 2023 they appeared on European television (again, please, no spoilers!)
  

We're very pleased that Yannick and Marc made time to answer our questions ahead of their appearance on the March 25th episode of Canada's Got Talent!

 

Who inspires you that is not a magician?
 
Yannick:  My spouse whom I adore, who accompanies me and supports me in all my magical projects.

Marc: I love getting inspiration from other fields. I visit museums, listen to music and podcasts, read books from all genres, watch masterclasses, and more.

Michel: Charlie Chaplin, Brian Tracy, Gary Larson and my girlfriend who runs 2 businesses with 30 or so employees alone

 

What is your first memory of magic? 

Yannick:  I attended a superb stage magic show by the magician Reveen in Montreal. I was sitting in the front row and I was 8 years old. It was amazing!

Marc:  I remember watching David Copperfield on television and playing with a magic kit when I was a child. I was probably 7 or 8.

Michel:  Well the first time, I was 10 years old and it was Mehdi who pulled a gum of my ear but THE moment was when I was 23 and André Bouchard was performing close-up magic...it changed my life.

 
 

Who from the magic community inspires you?

Yannick:  First, my 2 magician friends: Michel Huot and Marc Trudel who are part of the Montreal Trio. But Gary Kurtz (Canadian magician) has always been a great inspiration and he has made me the magician I am today.

Marc:  Too many to name, but a lot of my inspiration comes from reading books. Books not only provide knowledge but also force you to imagine the routines in your own unique way.

 

Michel:  Lately, someone i am touring with at the moment inspires me...Raymond Crowe!  All the small details.  Others include David Acer, Mac King and David Williamson.

 

Was there anyone or anything instrumental to you becoming a magician?

Yannick:  The Magie-Marcis school with my teacher Maurice Choquette taught me magic in the mid-80s. I then started teaching with him. Following his death, he bequeathed me his school which became mine: MagieStrale.

Marc:  Probably Juan Tamariz, for the way he studies audience energy. I have also been working with Stéphane Bourgoin, who has been a great mentor to me. Stéphane is probably one of the most creative minds in magic, yet he remains a well-kept secret among the magicians lucky enough to work with him.

 

Michel:  The booklet Leading with your head by G. Kurtz still has a great impact on me as well as the book by Eberhard Riese called Foundations.  I have always been amazed also by people who can really drive a crowd.  Do lots with less (Colombini, Doc Eason, Bob Sheets, Eric Leclerc).  At the beginning of my magic adventures, my pal Yannick also sparked a flame.

Did you ever get discouraged and think about quitting magic?  
 
Yannick:  No, I've always been passionate about magic since I was a kid and I've never stopped.

Marc:  Not really. I’ve always been fortunate to find new projects that keep me engaged.

Michel:  Only once; September 11th 2001.  I felt useless 'finding their cards'.  But the next day a spectator told me that I just made him forget about what was going on for 15 minutes.  That was it.  Oddly enough, our job is to make them forget!

Do you have any tour or pre-show rituals you’d be willing to share with our readers?
 

Yannick:  Michel, Marc and I have a little ritual before presenting our act. We walk as if nothing had happened around a magic accessory and suddenly we start dancing around it, each improvising our own choreography. We really look crazy, but that's us!

Marc:  We have lots of crazy patterns and rituals, but one of them is “fighting” a playing card using invisible karate. You get the idea…

 

Michel:  Oh yes.  I have on with the boys that they already explained.  On my own, I do a breathing technique in the dark in my dressing room (called Prana Yama).

 

How did the three of you meet?
 

Yannick:  I have owned a magic school (MagieStrale) in Montreal since 1992 and Michel and Marc were my students in the mid-90s.

 Michel:  Taking a pause now, go see Yannick's answer haha!

  

How did the three of you come to work together?
 

Marc:  Over the years, we became friends and started collaborating on shows, lectures for magicians, and more. Eventually, the Montreal Trio was born!

Yannick:  We created this issue in 2013 to present it at a prestigious FFFF magic congress in the USA. And since then, we have presented it for magicians and the general public in Quebec, Canada, the USA, England, and very soon in Europe.

Michel:  I first pitched an indea to Yannick many many moons ago.  We did an act called The Human Deck of Cards.  Then, many years later, another idea popped and we figured we had to be three.  Marc was an obvious choice.

Why is now the right time for you to be a part of Canada's Got Talent?
 

Yannick:  We were invited to participate in CGT and we thought what a chance to show our act on Canadian television on the biggest stage in Canada!

Marc:  Our individual schedules are always a little crazy, so whenever we get the chance to work together, we take the opportunity. For CGT, the stars aligned!
 

Michel:  See above!

 

 

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
 

Yannick:  The Montreal Trio is not limited to this issue, we hope to be able to show you all our creativity, sometimes a little crazy, in the near future!

Marc:  Simply that there is a lot of great magic happening in Canada right now—not just with our trio. Magicians should be more curious about it!

Michel:  Just shut up and do it!

Chris Ramsay FISM artist, and One Ahead interview

Have a read of the excellent interview in One Ahead, where Chris talks about the new online demonstration category in FISM 2025 and the future of magic in general.

 

From the February 27th article "This Is Totally New For FISM"  by Tobias Hudson in One Ahead:

The process involved much brainstorming to understand what the online shift would look like, and Ramsay credits FISM organiser Walter Rolfo for being receptive to the idea.

But the question naturally follows: Does an online FISM category translate to higher levels of attendance, and more importantly, a longer-term desire to upkeep and cultivate the event for future generations?

Ramsay believes this can only happen if changes are made to the fundamental structure of the event:

Connie Boyd interviewed at Bold Journey Magazine

From the February 19th article "Meet Connie Boyd" at Bold Journey Magazine:

Resilience should be my middle name! I’ve built a successful entertainment career, only to be knocked flat to start again from scratch – FIVE times. I must really love my work, because I cannot give up, I don’t know how, but after every setback, I’ve always pulled up my socks and bulldozed forward.

My first love was dance, and at age seventeen I won a full scholarship to train with the National Ballet of Canada.

Matt Gore featured at CJME

From the February 5th article "From magic school to master illusions: Matt Gore’s mind-bending tale" by Brittany Caffet at CJME:

Gore, a skilled magician who has captivated audiences around the world with his mind-bending illusions and performances, knows that his profession is often met with curiosity, wonder, and a healthy dose of skepticism.

He sees magic as more than just a performance, but a chance to offer people a brief escape from the stress of their everyday lives.

“Everyone’s got stuff going on in their life. Everyone’s got problems. But for a moment, we’re going to forget about all that and just enjoy a moment together,” Gore explained. “After the show, you can go back and you can pick up that weight that you once had, but it feels so freeing just to just be like, ‘How is that possible?!’ That’s the power of magic.”

TLDR: So. Much. Fun!

Random thoughts about Champions of Magic 

 

 

You may already know Liberty: 

• is a fourth-generation magician,
  
• is from the family that founded The Magic Castle, Genii Magazine, and the Academy of Magical Arts,
  
• is a singer,
  
• combines theatrical magic with original musical compositions, and
  
• was on Penn and Teller's Fool Us S04E04
  

What is your first memory of magic?

 

My first memory of magic is on my fifth birthday, at the Magic Castle, on stage with the one and only – Ireland’s Largest Leprechaun, Mister Billy McComb. I believe he did the vanishing birdcage that day. He eventually got me on stage as a volunteer and I was in heaven. I thought he was the bees knees. And as I got older, he just got funnier and funnier. One of my favorites ever. Rest in peace, Billy.

 

Other than your family, who were the first professional magicians you remember seeing?

I was lucky enough to see the Siegfried and Roy show as a young kid, and that show was truly mesmerizing, larger than life. It felt like being in another world. I remember the electricity in the room. It was thrilling and kinetic, and they were so graceful. They seemed to have walked onto the stage from the clouds.

 

On "Penn and Teller’s Fool Us" you mentioned that you 'resisted' the call to magic in your early years.  Do you remember the specific moment when you knew you could or wanted to perform magic full-time?

Well, I always loved to perform, since I was very young. But I think everyone goes through a phase where they want nothing to do with what their parents (or grandparents, or great-grandparents!) want them to do. My family didn’t push for magic too hard, but I still rebelled against it on sheer principle. I can’t say that the decision to “give in” happened in a single moment. It was more gradual – the result of seeing some truly amazing performers who were really coming on the scene with a very different approach to magic. That was very inspiring, because it showed me that magic is more versatile than I may have imagined. But more than anything, I really came to appreciate the gift magic gives people – the feelings it produces – and I realized I wanted to continue in the legacy and be a conduit for those feelings, because they’re so wonderful.

 

 

 

By what mechanisms did you begin learning magic? 

I learned magic at Magic Camp as a kid (that’s right, folks!) in Idyllwild, California. I also learned from dear family friends, and from books.

 

Liberty Larsen

 

 

 

Who inspires you that is not a magician?

Outside of magic, I’m inspired by Joanna Newsom, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen (two very special Canadians who almost dated!), Jesca Hoop, Martha Graham, Charlie Kaufman, Michel Gondry, Peter Brook, Carmen Amaya, Kate Bush, Harry Nilsson, Tom Waits, Remedios Varo, Robert Moss, on and on… I love people who make worlds out of their dreams and stubbornly insist on living inside them. 

 

 

 

Who inspires you magically?

I’m inspired by Rob Zabrecky, Michael Carbonaro, Jared Kopf, Voronin, The Swedish Monkey Opera, René Lavand (rest in peace) and many other gems.
  

 

 

 

In addition to performing magic, we understand that you are also a musician. Have you studied anything else magic-adjacent? How have these studies informed your magic performance?

Though I can’t say I’ve officially studied art, film or photography, I’ve definitely been influenced by my own rogue education in all of those realms. Everything that inspires, everything that lights up the circuitry, everything that gives goosebumps, can translate into magic, I think.

I draw from music more than anything else, because I look to magic to create strong feelings. I’m not really drawn to cerebral stuff, or puzzles, it’s not how my mind is wired. I can appreciate them but they don’t motivate me to get on stage.

On stage, I don’t want to be clever. I want to feel connected to people When I’m in an audience, I want to feel like the performer is cracking my heart open like a walnut, and melting me. So, I look to music for how to do that, because that’s how I’m wired. So I often sing, because it’s a quick cheat to shift things from intellect into feeling. But even when I’m not singing, the same elements of music – rhythm and pacing, tone and resonance, harmonics and dissonance, dynamics and flow – all these things go into good theater, and satisfying magic.  

 

 

What, if anything, makes you nervous about joining the Champions family?

Giant theaters! Exciting, but not something I’m used to. I’ve performed in a lot of very small, cabaret style venues. This is a whole different ball of wax.

 

What are you most looking forward to about joining the Champions of Magic family?

The adventure of it! I love the electrical current that’s running through this project. It’s got a strong pulse. It seems like I’m hopping on a train that’s changing platforms and going to a whole new dimension. This is such a fantastic group of people, and it’s an ambitious risk we’re all taking together, which is a truly exciting challenge.
 

 

 

 

If you could go back in time to study (magic or otherwise) under anybody, who would you choose to be your mentor?

I think I would go back in time and study dance with Martha Graham. I devoured her autobiography and am so inspired by the way she lived her life. She was a genuinely magical person, and a profound teacher. I feel like what she taught could translate beyond dance into just about anything. She taught people how to be deeply in their bodies, truly themselves and radically open to their own source of inspiration.    

Liberty Larsen

Many magicians have a Canadian connection to magic.  Tell us about your Canadian magic connection(s).

Dai Vernon and Doug Henning are masters in their own right, but I didn’t have any direct connection with either of them. So, I would say my first Canadian magic connection in this life is one Mister Christopher Hart. I saw his act many, many times growing up, and it was striking for a young imagination to watch. I love Christopher. He also played “Thing” in the (more recent) Addams Family movies. Go Canada!

 

 

If you could prevent other performers performing an effect forever, what would it be?

I read a truly terrible “gag” in an antique magic book about having your Thanksgiving turkey get up and walk off the table. It involved using a real chicken, plucked, and doing some terrible things to force it to be still, and painting it brown as if it was roasted. I would outlaw that turkey trick, punishable by tarring and feathering.

If you could only perform one effect for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I am not sure I could ever be up to that challenge. But if I could shapeshift into a bird while singing, and land one someone’s shoulder, maybe deliver a secret message that only they would understand and that would inspire a huge gasp, it would be that.

 

 

What’s your go-to Karaoke song?

“Get it While You Can” by Janis Joplin. Not because of the lyrics, necessarily, but because her emotional range is just so great to sing.

 

 

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about performing in Canada?

The Louise Bourgeois spider sculpture.

Just the fist thing that came into my mind…  

[Editor's note: "Maman" by Louise Bourgeois can be seen at the National Gallery of Canada.]

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?

I just learned that, “The first reference to throwing rotten vegetables at bad stage acts came in an 1883 New York Times article after John Ritchie was hit with a barrage of tomatoes and rotten eggs by an unpleasant audience in New York. A large tomato thrown from the gallery struck him square between the eyes and he fell t the floor just as several bad eggs dropped upon his head.” The more you know…!
