From the "Magic at the Oxford Tap Room" Facebook event:
SUNDAY, 8 MAY 2022
Sunday afternoons are made for magic. Join Bill Wood and special guest Brennan Coady for an intimate afternoon of wonder and laughs. If you like Penn and Teller's Fool Us or staring at the night sky and contemplating your place in the vast universe this show is for you. This event isn't a kids magic show...but they are welcome to attend.
If you attended either of the Chip Romero CAM JAMs (April 14, 2021 or October 27, 2021) you'll know that Chip will be a fabulous host for this event!
From the April 30th post "World Wide Doug Henning Birthday Celebration, May 7" by John Cox at Wild About Harry:
Next Saturday, May 7th, S.A.M. President Tom Gentile and the great Chip Romero will host a 6-hour online "World Wide Doug Henning Birthday Celebration". No doubt this was inspired by the success of the World Wide Houdini Birthday Celebration last month. I'm looking forward to six hours of Doug...and Chip!
Check out the Event Page on Facebook for details. I will post the ZOOM link when available.

From the April 18th Instagram post by Michael Kras:
I have some news! Today was my first day jumping into one of the most exciting (and terrifying) journeys of my career so far as I join the Canadian premiere of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at Mirvish as the Illusions & Magic Assistant.
I’ve been in magic even longer than I’ve been in theatre, and it’s a literal dream to be able to combine these two parts of my artistic identity by joining the creative team behind this international smash hit play that uses magic, illusion, and sleight of hand as a key piece of its theatrical language.
I’ve never worked on something of such immense scale, and I’d be lying if I said I’m not overwhelmed. But I’m also beyond excited to work with this unbelievable company of artists, learn on my feet, and hit the ground running. Let’s GOOOOO.

From the April 11th Instagram post by Vitaly Evening of Wonders:
I'm looking forward to coming back to @mapleridgeact (Maple Ridge, BC) on May 15th!
About 10 years ago, it was one of the first venues that took a chance and presented my show in the Lower Mainland! It will be a pleasure to come back as a closing performance of the Arts Council’s 50th Anniversary Season!

From the Harold Green Theatre Company:
Vitaly, celebrated as one of the most unique and innovative illusionists in the world, brings his most ambitious work to Toronto. Vitaly combines the art of illusion with stories of his years growing up in Israel. Vitaly does more than entertain; he moves, inspires, and instills within all who experience his show a fresh perspective on life and a greater realization that ours is a world of beauty and wonder.
