From the September 11th Instagram post by Alex Mackenzie:
Its time!!! Less than a month until the Hungry for Laughs Comedy Tour kicks off starting in Kamloops! When I say this is a stacked show its an understatement. This is the best variety act on the planet!! We have world class comedians @thisissimonking @ivanwdecker who have been on Conan, Just for Laughs, Netflix and even won a Juno award for Best Comedy Album. We have a stunt magician @stuntmagician who has been on Ellen, Americas Got Talent and even Fooled Penn and Teller in Las Vegas on the hit shoe Penn and Teller Fool us! And to top it all of we have one of the most impressive circus acts in the world with international foot archer @orissakelly! You may have seen her Win @robdyrdek Amazigness, on Britains got Talent and she had even performed for the late Queen of England!
Not only is this the best show on the planet but it also gives back to local charities in every city. We are donating to Food Banks, Womans Shelters, Mental Health Associations, Animal Shelters, Animal Food Banks and Hospice Societies. If you or anyone you know is in these cities please let them know we are coming!

Broken wand: Joseph Kaufert
Updated October 24th to add:
- The Neil Bardal Funeral Home was updated to include much more information about Dr. Kaufert.
From the obituary:
"Joe was a passionate magician from age 7 or 8. He was a long-time member of The Magic Circle, International Brotherhood of Magicians (Order of Merlin), and the Magic Club of Winnipeg. He would delight and bemuse with sleight of hand, and a big wink, at every opportunity. His magic was often done at kids’ and community events; the magician’s patter often a witty reflection on a current social justice issue tailored just for the audience."
Updated October 7th to add:
- From the Neil Bardal Funeral Home:
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joe on Monday, October 2, 2023, at the St. Boniface Hospital.
A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, at 2:00PM at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg, 603 Wellington Crescent.
There will be a longer notice to follow.
Today's post by Brian Glow at the Magic Club of Winnipeg Facebook group informs us of the recent passing of Dr. Joseph Kaufert.
Thank you to Mike Likey for sharing the news with us.
We will update this post as more information becomes available.
Our sincere condolences to Dr. Kaufert's family and friends at this difficult time.
From the October 3rd Facebook post by James Carey Lauder:
From the October 3rd Facebook post by the Majick Mike Likey Fan Club:
The magic world mourns the loss today, of Winnipeg's Dr. Joe Kaufert. I'm still in shock and saddened by his loss. With his quick wit and a glint in his eye, I'm sure that he's still performing his Chinese Sticks, Flexible Mirror, and Inexhaustible Salt Pour on that Great Stage in the sky.
