Toronto: There's magic at Buskerfest 2023 [Sep 1 - 4]

From the Toronto International Buskerfest for Epilepsy website:

The Charming Jay

Circle Act

A character who likes classic magic and eccentric jazz. He is a meek magician with extraordinary ability. But every time he tries to perform a trick, he fails. If he then tries to cover up his mistake, another nonsense happens to him.

 On closer inspection, the audience realizes that this is not a casual magician, but rather a clown who seems to have sprung from the silent film era.

 

Buster Canfield's Circus of Industrious Fleas!

Circle Act  

Prepare to be spellbound by Eldritch Theatre’s astonishing presentation: “A Big Show in Miniature!” Delve into a world of death-defying feats and breathtaking wonder, all brought to life by an extraordinary ensemble of highly skilled fleas. Yes, you read that right – these tiny performers will astound you with their daring displays of dangerous acts!

Eldritch Theatre has crafted a spectacle that defies imagination, where the tiniest stars shine the brightest.

 

Magic Man

Tent Show

Magic Man is an experienced international magician, known for his versatility in the illusion field. He performs interactive, mind-shakingly, brilliant sleight of hand, spiced with pure comedy genius. From the Rolling Stones to U2, Magic Man has entertained the finest! He has represented South Africa at the Edinburgh Festival and has headlined across four continents. 

Spencer Scurr

Tent Show

Spencer Scurr, the Daredevil Magician, has performed in some bizarre places, from the middle of the desert to the ocean floor. His adventures have led him to a realization: magic is more exciting when you mix in a bit of risk!

Ropes are cooler when they’re on fire, and card tricks are more thrilling when the cards are in a rusty animal trap.

Spencer’s daring feats are sure to leave everyone with an unforgettable story to tell.

 

Victor Rubilar

Circle Act

Soccer is a universal language that everybody can share. With the classy style of the 1920s, plenty of dance, magic, humour, and impressive skills Victor creates a party on stage.

Toronto: Andrew Eland lecture

From the Browser's Den of Magic:

Sunday, December 17, 2017

Is it a show? Is it a lecture? We are really not sure. What we are certain about is that you do not want to miss the EXPERIENCE of a magic evening with South Africa's Andrew Eland.

An Internationally traveled street and stage performer, Andrew is one of the most experienced magicians in South Africa.

His performance specialty is interactive, mind-boggling sleight of hand spiced with comedy. He has performed in top nightspots across Europe, Japan and South Korea. He is the only magician to have headlined at every casino and comedy club in South Africa. Andrew's show and lecture will consist of a wide variety of magic and bits of business. Cards tricks, card manipulation, coin tricks, coin manipulation, and so much more that is difficult to describe on paper.

Our founder the late Len Cooper encouraged customers to improve their magic and skill. But truth be told Len rarely praised many. Well, about 20 years ago Andrew was visiting Browser's Den on a day when both Len and I (Old Jeff) were at the shop. When Andrew left the shop Len turned to me and said "He's a very good magician." Len was a man of few words so believe me when I say that those few words of praise about Andrew was a rare event.
