Nothing says Christmas like a good old fashioned Hallmark Christmas Movie!
From the December 4, 2024 Facebook post by Wes Barker:
From the October 28th Reddit post "TIFU by challenging a magician to a game of chicken":
This happened when I was a young man of about 19-20. The distant past of the early 2010s. An important thing about me back then (and still now) is that I didn't really ever consider the consequences of my actions. If something sounded like it would be funny, as a rule, I would generally just do it and hope for the best.
I was attending university in Canada and there was a campus event where comedy magician Wes Barker was performing at the campus pub.

We have a stunt magician @stuntmagician who has been on Ellen, Americas Got Talent and even Fooled Penn and Teller in Las Vegas on the hit shoe Penn and Teller Fool us! And to top it all of we have one of the most impressive circus acts in the world with international foot archer @orissakelly! You may have seen her Win @robdyrdek Amazigness, on Britains got Talent and she had even performed for the late Queen of England!
Not only is this the best show on the planet but it also gives back to local charities in every city. We are donating to Food Banks, Womans Shelters, Mental Health Associations, Animal Shelters, Animal Food Banks and Hospice Societies. If you or anyone you know is in these cities please let them know we are coming!
