Chris Mayhew on CP24

From the November 1st Instagram post by Chris Mayhew:

I don’t ever do TV magic, I much prefer to perform live, but I was asked to do a lil segment on CP24’s breakfast television for Halloween! 🎃 Here’s a clip of the performance 🤗 Shout out to Richard Sanders for this awesome piece of magic. I was a lil nervous because I don’t do this sort of thing ever, but I think I did alright considering this is my first live TV performance 😅 Anyways enjoy everyone and come watch me perform live weekly in downtown Toronto at @coctoronto
