With Mike Norden, an award-winning children’s magician from Mission who is also with the Fraser Magic Company, of which Teszka is president, Teszka scripted a narrative that takes visitors around Granville Island — home to the annual Vancouver Fringe Festival.
Titled the Really Definitely True Tour, the 90-minute walking excursion combines fake storytelling with magic that’s suitable for all ages; the capacity is 20 people per show, which opens Thursday, Sept. 5 and runs for the full length of the VFF with 14 iterations at various times, starting at the Alder Bay Dock.
We hope you enjoyed reading about many of the talented magicians across the
country.
A huge shout out to everyone who trusted us enough to
submit names and supporting text last month, even though you didn't know exactly how it
was going to be used.
Rob Teszka, almost-PhD of magic, presents an irreverent magic show about failure! Enjoy a mind-blowing cocktail of tongue-in-cheek takes on everything from Mai Tais to academic burnout. Join Rob Teszka, Magic Dropout for the unexpected results of a decade researching the psychology of magic.
