From the February 18th Facebook post by Shawn Farquhar:
Some exciting news for Hidden Wonders Speakeasy Magic Experience and the magicians of BC. I have invited a guest artists to present their show for an entire weekend in the showroom in May. You won't want to miss this magician!
If we ask really nice he might even do a lecture! Ticket sales are open to the public so this is certain to sell out fast, like all Hidden Wonders shows.
Visit their website at TheMagicFestival.com.
From the February 12th Facebook post by Shawn Farquhar:
I'm excited to announce we're restarting The MAGIC Festival. It has been years since we had the time and energy to mount a week long festival celebrating Magic Arts Gathering In Canada... see what I did there? lol
We have contributions from the Vancouver Magic Circle, IBM Ring #92, the SAM #95 Assembly, the Vancouver Magic Academy, Rick Bronson's House of Comedy, Stefanos Restaurant and Lounge, and it will all be held in Downtown New Westminster!
Magic for the masses... mark your calendars: March 25th-30th.
