Chanelle Munroe and Sean Watson: Inspirational Canadian Magicians

CanadasMagic.com is proud to present the 2024 Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase

Next up in this year's Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase, are Chanelle Munroe and Sean Watson!

Chanelle Munroe: Inspirational Canadian Magician.
 

 

 

Chanelle’s work with the Indigenous community in Canada is inspiring as she  brings magic to remote communities and inspires young people with her performances and message of hope. She has gone where no other Canadian magician has gone before, and deserves to be recognized for her inspirational use of magic. 

Chanelle appeared on September 2024 cover of VANISH Magic Magazine. Her full story is there. It’s remarkable.

Sean Watson: Inspirational Canadian Magician.
 

 

I am inspired by Sean Watson and Chanelle Munroe for their ability to captivate audiences across North America with their unique style of magic. I’ve had the privilege of seeing them perform at an elementary school, where their show left both students and staff in awe. With a recent rebranding, they have successfully toured festivals, community events, and elementary schools throughout Canada and the USA, continuing to amaze and inspire audiences of all ages.

Sean Watson, Emma Bartolomucci, and Cameron Gibson in Smart Magazine

From the article "The Latest on Illusionarium" by Justine Tenzer in Smart Magazine by Lighthouse:

The extended Ontario lockdown has only increased the anticipation for Illusionarium, Lighthouse Immersive’s latest project. While waiting for the opportunity to open doors to visitors, Jamie Allan and his team have been working up more magic in the meantime. “There is magic every day, everywhere. People need to know that”, says Sean Watson, one of Illusionarium’s resident magicians, describing how this art form helped him through some dark moments in his life. Indeed, Illusionarium is arriving at a time where excitement, wonder and joy are desperately needed.

Toronto: Illusionarium

Back in October, we posted an open call for Jamie Allan's "Magic Maze Live" which has rebranded as "Illusionarium." 

In the same theme as the "Immersive Van Gogh" experience, this exhibit boasts socially distant displays in multiple rooms.  It features 3D projections, immersive room effects, TV studio recreations, and live magicians.

Canadian talent includes: Neil Croswell, Sean Watson, Aaron Matthews (with Caroline Sauve), and Alex Kazam!

Also, involved is Cameron Gibson from the UK.

(We must be missing people ... who else is on board?)

From the Illusionarium website:

This holiday season you and your Magic Circle (of wizards you live with) will explore a labyrinth of mysterious rooms transporting you to different eras of illusion.

Take an immersive journey through the evolution of magic as the world’s most famous illusionists share their deepest secrets…

Using 3D projections, life-like holograms, and live magicians, this is the first time audiences can marvel at the greatest illusions up close – all in a socially-distanced setting.

Conceived by British high-tech magician, Jamie Allan (iMagician), this experiential exhibit blends Jamie’s encyclopedic knowledge on the history of magic with state-of-the-art-technology to bring illusions of the past into the 21st century.
