Stéphane Bourgoin: Inspirational Canadian Magician

Next in this year's Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase, is Stéphane Bourgoin!

 

Stéphane Bourgoin: Inspirational Canadian Magician.
 

 

 

Stéphane has been a driving force in the Montreal magic community for years. 

He has been creating relentlessly and consulting on some of the biggest projects out there — from collaborations with Cirque du Soleil to theatre productions and television.

Just this year, he created the magic for Luc Langevin’s new stage show and consulted on the theatre adaptations of Dracula and Peter Pan, just to name a few of his projects. 

Always generous with his time and advice, he continues to be a vital part of our community.

Ed Fernandez: Inspirational Canadian Magician

Fourth in this year's Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase, is Ed Fernandez!

 

Ed Fernandez: Inspirational Canadian Magician.
 

 

 

Ed has been an inspiration for me when I first met him in 1976 at a night club in St. Catharines. He was touring with Johnny Green and the Greenmen (the Jokers henchmen from the original Batman TV series).

He toured the world with his illusion show on premier cruise lines. He had the largest Illusion show of its kind in Santo Domingo. He was an act in Liberace's show in Las Vegas and appeared in many television talk shows. 

This past year he suffered a serious health scare and got through it with flying colours. We worked together in Quebec this past September. 

Ed performs Mentalism and Hypnosis these days. What an inspiration!
