The 2nd Annual Magic Festival will be held in June of 2014 and we’re now building our database of artists who wish to showcase. We will be in need of magical artists who can do one or more of the following disciplines:
Street Magic ¤ Comedy Magic ¤ Stage Magic ¤ Close Up Magic
Children’s Magic ¤ Restaurant Magic ¤ Bar Magic
The MAGIC Festival will be produced in a similar fashion to a Fringe Festival. This means we award artists with extraordinary acts the opportunity to produce their productions as part of the Festival at minimal costs. By using the bulk buying power of the Festival we have been able to secure several venues at reduced rates. By presenting several presentations by various artists in the same venue the cost of renting a venue is a fraction of the normal costs. There will be very few paid positions, several volunteer positions and a good number of producer positions for solo artists or groups wishing to present a compilation style show.

Shawn Farquhar, founder of the Festival of Magic, announced today the city chosen to host the week long event. ”I could think of no better choice, considering the community spirit of the people of Port Coquitlam” he said when asked by the media. Port Coquitlam is celebrating it’s 100th anniversary and an entire week of magic will join into the fun. Magic organizations like the Vancouver Magic Circle, the Society of American Magicians and the Canadian Association of Magicians will be hosting events, shows and workshops during the Festival. Additionally lots of professional and amateur magicians will be offering shows in local venues including such places as the Terry Fox Theatre, Second Storey Theatre, local pubs and restaurants.

It’s a show that promises plenty of magic, a fair bit of mystery and, in a new twist, a moose serving as the evening’s distinguished MC.
Dubbed Moose in a Top Hat, the show plays on cheeky Canadiana themes between acts by award-winning magicians Matthew Johnson, Christopher Taylor and the husband-and-wife team Trevor and Lorena Watters.
