ICYMI: Canine Circus and The Sentimentalists on Canada's Got Talent [April 5, 2022]

From City TV:

Canine Circus is a group of entertainers and furry four-legged acts who perform stunts and grand illusions. Their aim is to create a magical, memorable family show blending their love of circus with their love of pets and magic. The group is made up of mainly professionals who have been in the entertainment industry for years and although they are a newly formed act, they’ve already put on a run of live, hour long ticketed shows. This act brings in dogs and trainers to reimagine what dog shows can be and how animals are treated. Aaron, the circus born-leader, brought this group together to form a community – they are all stray dogs in one way or another and have a shared connection and mission to bring joy and entertainment to others. Aaron wants to take the stage at CGT for the generations of performers that run in his family.

From City TV:

Mentalist duo, The Sentimentalists, have been bringing 1930s vintage style to the art of mindreading since 2017. Mysterion the Mind Reader and Steffi Kay both started as solo acts and have found a way to maximize their abilities by combining their acts. They are equal partners and friends on and off stage. They have stunned audiences at the Magic Castle, Viva Las Vegas, Fool Us, and on tours throughout North America and Australia. They even fooled Penn & Teller! They’ve gained accolades like the Allan Slaight Award in Magic in 2020 and appeared on the Cover of Vanish Magic Magazine. Their act is unique and the way they connect has never been discovered. For their next trick, they’re returning to Canada to achieve recognition on home turf.
