Calgary: A Brush With Death (now with bunny rabbits)

From Yeats Wong:

Brush With Death... And Bunny Rabbits:  Every show has been sold out at Calgary's only adult bizarre magic show; featuring an evening of morbid mentalism, macabre magic, and comedy mayhem.  Each show is hosted by Yeats Wong, as he explores inner fears, phobias, and perhaps awaken forces better left in peace.  The July show has headliner Michael Berends and a feature performance by Gwyn Auger.

Read what Metro News in Calgary has to say about the show.

According to their website, the July 14th show is sold out and they've added another show on Monday July 18th due to popular demand.
