Canada's Got Talent audition: Will Stelfox

Congratulations Will, on a fantastic audition!

 

From the April 4th upload "MAGICIAN Will Stelfox’s Audition Is Almost Impossible To Watch" on the Canada's Got Talent YouTube channel:

Vancouver-based magician, Will Stelfox loves getting a big reaction from a crowd! And a reaction is just what he got the moment he stepped onto the CGT stage when he made the audience and judges recoil, wince and gulp with his razor blade trick.

Who inspires you that is not a magician?
 
I watch a lot of stand up comedy, I’m a big fan of Tom Segura and
Anthony Jeselnik.

 

What is your first memory of magic? 

I saw a close-up magician at a restaurant when I was 9 years old. He
appeared to make things appear and disappear on the table in front of my eyes.
 

Who from the magic community inspires you?

David Blaine and Criss Angel both have a unique take on magic that broke the mold of what was popular before them.

 

Was there anyone or anything instrumental to you becoming a magician?

I met Andrew Gerard early on in my magic career, he‘s definitely been the biggest influence on my magic.

Did you ever get discouraged and think about quitting magic?  
 
I enjoy performing on a regular basis, any time I take a break, I find
myself missing the art of performing.

Do you have any pre-show rituals?
 

I always make sure there’s nothing stuck in my teeth.

 

 

What inspired you to be a part of this season of Canada's Got Talent?
 

I think the show is always looking for something different, and I’d
regret it if I didn’t try to show the judges what I can do.

 

 

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
 

Thank you for your time checking out my interview!
