Ottawa: Murray

From the Centre Pointe Theatre:
Friday,  February 10, 2017 at 8:00 p.m.

A B.C. boy from a family of railway workers makes it to the semifinals of America’s Got Talent only to make a 24-foot steel steam train locomotive disappear live on television. The act still baffles the world as Murray takes his place at the helm of a new generation of tech-savvy magicians. Hot on the heels of the sell-out success of Darcy Oake, we welcome another home-grown illusionist full of fantastic tricks and loads of laughs along the way.

He will lead off the first show, performing “Sphere.” On the third show, July 24, he will perform “Suspended Animation,” followed by a tiger production and “Shroud” in Episode Five, August 7.

Then in Episode Eight Frewin will do “Glass Sawing Origami,” followed by “Big Yellow Thing” on Episode Ten, September 11. Finally, he will present “Squisher” on Edisode Twelve, September 25.  The series will conclude the following week, October 2.

Murray Sawchuk's at at Planet Hollywood’s Sin City Theater

From the Las Vegas Sun:
In the end, Murray Sawchuck had to be more than a poser. 
Not that it wasn’t a great deal of fun following Sawchuck canvas the valley mugging for photos in front of hotel-casino marquees with such self-written captions as, “Wild Wild West is a nice place!” But it had to come to an end, as Sawchuck sought to resume his stage show at a Las Vegas venue after leaving Laugh Factory at Tropicana on Oct. 30. 
Sawchuck’s new venue is Sin City Theater at Planet Hollywood, where he sets up Dec. 20 for what is to be a yearlong run of shows at 2 and 4 p.m. daily (dark Fridays).

Review: Murray Celebrity Magician

Read Wayne Kawamoto's review at About:
From his TV appearances on "Pawn Stars," and “America’s Got Talent,” and from his trademark mop of blonde hair to those designer glasses, you may think that you know Murray the magician (aka the Celebrity Magician). But it's not until you attend his Las Vegas magic show that you can truly experience the magic of this talented entertainer. His show, which runs at the Tropicana, is an hour of baffling magic and illusions, comedy and fun.
