Matt Johnson in The Abbotsford News
From The Abbotsford News:
Matt Johnson’s first crack at TV glory ended before it began when the tank he was trying to escape split open and spilled 260 gallons of water onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage during a rehearsal, along with his dreams.
The UK-born magician came back home to Abbotsford without having had the chance to perform his great escape in front of the celebrity judges – an opportunity he spent years working towards.
But just over a month later, in mid-March, he had another chance to perform the daring escape in front of bright lights, TV cameras and two judges nearly every magician on earth looks up to. He had a slot on Penn & Teller: Fool Us.
Johnson hastily ordered a new tank – this time reinforced with metal corners – custom built in Calgary and waited for it to arrive at his Chilliwack studio. It arrived at 10 p.m. the night before he was to fly to Las Vegas for his chance to impress magic legends Penn Jillette and Teller on their popular series where illusionists from around the world try to perform a trick that even they can’t decipher.
Johnson’s new tank was three inches tighter on all sides.

Peter Mennie in the Sarnia Observer
From The Observer:
From Peter Mennie's Twitter feed:
A night of live magic is coming to downtown Sarnia.
Mixx Lounge on Front Street is hosting a show by London magician Peter Mennie being called Magic at the Mixx Lounge, Aug. 10.
Reservations, available by calling 519-491-0077, are required for the $15 show set for 8 p.m. in a special events room at Mixx Lounge.
Mennie said it came about when he was hired to perform at a private birthday party in the back room at the downtown lounge earlier this year.
As he was setting up for the party, a man seated in the lounge recognized Mennie was a magician and called him over.
