[Guest post] Peculiar Curt Spotted Busking in Vancouver

The following is a guest post from an author who wishes to be known as The Magic Demon.

SPOTLIGHT ON UP & COMING TALENT

Peculiar Curt Spotted Busking in Vancouver This Summer

Exclusive to Canada’s Magic

One of the friendliest magicians busking this summer in Vancouver calls himself Peculiar Curt.

But Curt isn’t really all that peculiar at all.

He’s a fine magician, musician, teacher and family man who’s spending more and more time out and about again this summer busking in Vancouver.

Curt does low-key fun routines with regular cards, coins and (especially for the kids) an original specialty utilizing Pokeman cards.

Curt told this reporter the invaluable experience he’s gaining by expanding his busking chops again this summer should greatly enhance his magic repertoire which already includes performances at kids’ parties and all kinds of social events.

So far this summer Curt has been spotted busking near or around the always popular Science World on False Creek.

If you ever should see him, go up and say hi to one of the nicest magicians you will ever meet. Enjoy Curt’s set and, hey, share the wealth if you can.

For more information, check Curt’s website: www.peculiarcurt.ca

— The Magic Demon (with thanks to S & D who met Curt first!)


 

 

Thank you The Magic Demon for guest posting at Canada's Magic!

From the April 14th Facebook post by Shawn Farquhar:

My friend Bernardo Sedlacek is also going to be lecturing for the two IBM Rings I belong to in BC. IBM Ring #92, the Vancouver Magic Circle and IBM Ring #183, the Victoria Magic Circle. This will be an outstanding lecture and not to be missed. His thinking on psychology will apply to any type of magic.
