Tune into Canada's Got Talent on CityTV tomorrow night to watch Atsushi compete in the live finale!
From the May 12th article "How Calgary magician Atsushi Ono wowed his way to the season finale of Canada's Got Talent" by Eric Volmers in the Calgary Herald:
For now, he is in Niagara Falls, Ont., which is where the two-hour live finale of Canada’s Got Talent will be filmed on May 16. Ono, who showcased some genuine nervousness during his initial audition, seemed to legitimately wow the judges, particularly Offishall. The hip-hop artist seemed too enamoured with what he was seeing to sit still.
“I thought I was very lucky,” he says. “The beauty of close-up magic is that you never know what is going to happen. When I saw him (walking away), I thought I can make this funnier. The other thing was that I trust all the judges. They are the real stars … they understand how TV works. So whatever happens, I’m going to trust them. They are going to make me even funnier or make me cool or whatever.”
Still, he admits he is dealing with some nerves leading up to the all-important finale.
“I don’t want to disappoint anybody,” he says. “At the same time, of course, I’m nervous because it’s a live show.”
From the May 8th article "Touring magician spreads anti-bullying message to youth in rural Alaska" by Evan Erickson at KYUK:
“There was a news report on the radio on my way back that had said that the worst suicides in the world were happening in Arctic Canada and Arctic Alaska. I said, you know what, I have some of those skills and I can do something about it,” Glow said.
One of the villages that Glow visited on his recent tour of the Y-K Delta was Tuntutuliak, where he performed for the whole community, as well as for elementary and high school students at Lewis Angapak Memorial School.
“It was a really great experience. He had a really great message that he was providing to the students as well,” said Dean of Students Katie Chearney.
Glow uses a two-fold approach to communicate an anti-bullying message, combining his personal experiences with symbolic illusions, for example, using three different-sized ropes to represent children at different levels of maturity.
From the March 20th Instagram post by Mindbender Magic:
‘The Experience’ has been my most-booked show for the past 3 years and up until now, it’s only been available for private bookings. For one night only, I will be bringing this show to the public at Theatre Aurora on Saturday, June 3rd, 2023! My last public theatre show sold out a month before the show date, so be sure to grab your tickets fast because you won’t want to miss this!
Enjoy a family friendly experience packed with magic, mind-reading, comedy, and fun. ‘The Experience’ will also feature one of my most thrilling escapes which I haven’t performed since 2013, and don’t plan on performing ever again in this show.
