From the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils:

Magic. Intrigue. Illusion. Experience the impossible! Sheldon Casavant’s magic show! Sheldon Casavant’s magic show is lighthearted, highly interactive, and appropriate for all ages. Borrowed items vanish and reappear, inanimate objects are brought to life, minds are telepathically read, and people are called on stage to perform impossible feats. By combining amazing sleight-of-hand magic with comedic audience participation, Sheldon creates a uniquely engaging and memorable magic performance. He was nominated as Entertainer of the Year by the Canadian Events Industry and his unique style of magic has been appreciated around the world. Sheldon has entertained across Canada, the United States, Mexico, Panama, China, and has performed over 630 shows in Japan.
