Maple Ridge: The Great Gordini and Norden the Magician [April 30]

From the April 19th article "Serving up magic, laughs, and family fun at home show in Maple Ridge --
The Great Gordini will be performing at this year’s Ridge Meadows Home Show
" by Colleen Flanagan in the Maple Ridge News:

Visitors to the Ridge Meadows Home Show Family Fest are in for a weekend of magic, comedy, and ventriloquism.

One of those magicians will be The Great Gordini, known off stage at Gord Boyes, who will be taking to the stage at the show with his favourite skunky-monkey Otto.

Boyes describes his show as interactive, full of comedy, and fun for every age.


Although he has been practising magic for decades, he has been performing across the Lower Mainland for about 15 years. Every show is different for the illusionist, who loves performing for children.

“It helps keep me young. I just love being around the kids and seeing the smiles on their faces,” he said.

Toronto: Bobby Motta - Chapter 2: Up Close & Personal [April 24 & 27]

From Eventbrite:

I am a mentalist and 3 years ago I was at the top of my profession.

In a blink of an eye my life changed. I was hit by a car, in a coma for months.

Why do accidents happen? Is it fate?

As a mentalist I was sent to another dimension. I have explored another side and I want to share my story/experience with you.

Toronto: Kensington Ken's Late Night Comedy and Magic [April 23]

From the April 18th article at Now Toronto

April 23 at 10 pm.

Your featured performers this week are:

Cameron Gibson: Our featured headliner of the evening, Cameron was the lead magician of the Illusionarium magic show last summer, and was awarded the Scottish Conjurer’s Association’s 2015 Stage Magician of the Year. He’s performed at packed stages and festivals all over the world, and has wowed countless audiences. Tonight, he’s at the Free Times Cafe to perform for you!

Marc Hallworth: Originally from Calgary, Marc has performed all over Canada and is one of the most decorated comics on our roster. He has performed at NXNE, YYComedy, FunnyFest, the Brantford Comedy Festival, “Funniest Clean Comedian on the Lakeshore”, and the Bollywood Monster Mashup, where he opened for Aparna Nancherla. We don’t have enough space here to list all of his accomplishments and awards, so you’re just going to have to come and see for yourself!

James “JamEasy” Cummins: Born and raised in Brampton, James has become one of the fastest up and coming names in standup comedy. Tip toeing the line of things you’re not supposed to say combined with a unique delivery has made him memorable to audiences one way or another. Described as”affably offensive,” we’re sure you will love him.

Kensington Ken: By far the least accomplished performer on the show, Ken likes to hide behind his cheap magical gimmicks that he bought from Wish. They work wonders on TikTok where he has over 10 million video views, but they sometimes malfunction on stage with hilarious consequences. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might even be amazed!
