Broken wand: Richard Sequens

From Dennis Schick, of the International Brotherhood of Magician's magazine, The Linking Ring.

From Reynars:

Richard Sequens, a long time resident of Dawson Creek, B.C. passed away on Monday, November 10, 2014 in Dawson Creek, at the age of 73 years. 

... 

Dick was a fabulous entertainer with his magic shows, card tricks, and coin tricks. He entertained children and adults alike. He travelled all over B.C. doing magic shows for ICBC, banks, children's functions and birthday parties. Dick also loved the outdoors; hunting, fishing, boating, quading and just being out and about. He was also very active with home renovations and yard projects, until failing health slowed him down in September 2013.

Chris Funk's "Redefining Wonder"

From the review from Mooney on Theatre:

I still can’t figure out how he did it. I spent my entire 30-minute commute home trying to figure it out. I can’t. Chris Funk‘s phenomenal magic blew my mind in his show Redefining Wonder at the Toronto Fringe Festival.

I saw Lance Burton in Las Vegas and David Copperfield when he last came to Toronto. The twelve-year-old magician in me was looking forward to seeing this. I was expecting something good. I was not expecting that it would be that good.

From James Alan's Reality Based Magic:

Last night I went to the Toronto Fringe and Chris Funk’s Redefining Wonder. I felt some sympathy because I’ve had my own Thursday 10PM opening night at a theatre festival, but the show came recommended to me so I went to go see.
