#Repost @specialolympicsyukon with @get_repost ・・・ What a pleasure it was to introduce the opening act for our upcoming Magic Show, Magic Ben, to you today on @ckrwtherush ‘s Morning Mess! . During the chat we found out that Whitehorse’s own Magic Ben has actually met the legendary @magichampion ! So we did some digging and found this awesome throwback of the two of them. 📸 I think it’s fair to say we are pretty excited to have them both performing for one night only on February 18th.
