After the reading the newspaper articles about Alex and Wes, we share with you the video of team Big Trick Energy on Ellen!
(How many Canadian magicians have appeared on Ellen? Shawn Farquhar, Shin Lim (2, 3) ...)
From the April 15th video "Magicians Stun Ellen with Their ‘Big Trick Energy’" on TheEllenShow YouTube channel:
From the April 15th article "VIDEO: On ‘Ellen,’ former City of Surrey employee works magic with new ‘Big Trick Energy’ gang -- A decade ago, Wes Barker quit his job with the city to do magic professionally" by Tom Zillich in the Cloverdale Reporter:
Barker honed his magic skills while working for the city in his early 20s, between time spent studying business administration at university.
“I did lots of jobs for them – water meters, watermains, weedeating on the roads and drainage,” he said during an interview in 2014. “You take your lunch breaks in your truck, because there’s nowhere to go and everyone just packs a lunch, and you have your half-hour lunch and two 10-minute coffees. So there’s 50 minutes a day where you’re just sitting in your truck with nothing to do, so I just brought books with me, on magic, and on my breaks I’d practise magic tricks. Every partner I had thought it was hilarious that I had this library of books in the truck, and during every break I’d pull out cards, coins and whatnot. Kind of weird.”
ICYMI, Alex, Chris Ramsay, Eric Leclerc, and Wes Barker will be appearing on Ellen later today! (April 15th). Read our interview with the Big Trick Energy cast.
From the April 7th article "De Gatineau à la télé américaine : le rêve éveillé du magicien Alex Boyer" by Catherine Morasse at the CBC as translated by Google:
When Alex Boyer speaks, one word keeps coming up: intense . Like those days that are perfectly settled, and like the illusions and stunts of Big Trick Energy .
"We always had ambulances on the set, because we were still doing pretty intense stunts . Sometimes we put our lives on the line, and sometimes it was just funny. But it was a lot, a lot of energy, a lot of work, a lot of creation. And we had the best team in the world: I couldn't have asked for better than that," recognizes the one who grew up and still lives in the Aylmer area.

Our sincere condolences to Harry's family and friends.
From the Wallace Funeral Home:
Harry was a hard working man who was never idle. He was a true craftsman and jewellery maker. He owned and operated The Magic Lantern Gift Shop with his wife and love of his life, Anne. He was an internationally known magician, a tailor, a member of the historical society, a member of the Sussex Silverados and a very proud and active member of the Penobsquis Baptist Church. He loved to lead Bible Study and teach Sunday School. It was never odd to see him out and about or stopping to talk to someone.
Harry will live on in the hearts of his children:Richard Herbert and his wife Eva, Steven Herbert and Karen Herbert; his stepchildren: Kevin Demas and Christie Demas all of British Columbia; as well as several gradnchildren and great grandchildren.
Mr Harry Robert Herbert of Kingston, formerly of Penobsquis passed away at the Sussex Health Centre on April 6, 2021 at the age of 88.
