Welcoming a new Friend: Chris Gowen

Welcoming our newest Friend, Chris Gowen!

Based in Edmonton, Chris is a former President (and former VP) of the Edmonton Magic Club.  His 2019 Fringe Show “I sold my soul for magic tricks and Adderall” received Fringe Favourite from the Edmonton Journal.  At one time, Chris worked in 12 different restaurants and bars!  (Could this be a record in Canada of most restaurants being worked at during the same period by a single Magician?)  Additionally, he was named "Children's Entertainer of The Year" by the Pacific Coasts Association of Magicians in 2017.

Eagle-eyed readers will know that this year Chris is nominated for a Readers' Choice Award!

You can learn more about Chris at his website, or follow him on Facebook   and Instagram.

Thank you Chris, for befriending Canada's Magic!

Anthony Lindan's ArriveCAN’T Quarantine Magic Extravaganza [Dec 15]

Get your free tickets at Eventbrite.

 

From the December 10th article "Border app a case of ArriveCAN’T for Fort Erie magician" by Richard Hutton in Niagara This Week:

He has decided, however, to try and turn his predicament into something positive with a free show via Zoom on the final day of his quarantine on Dec. 14. [Editor's note: Eventibrite shows the date as Dec 15] Dubbed the ArriveCAN’T Quarantine Magic Extravaganza, the show has him teaming up with comic Glen (That Canadian Guy) Foster and Niagara escape artist Danny ZZZZ for a night of magic and comedy.

“It’s a loose thing,” he said. “I’ve been reading so many stories (Including one of a Fort Erie couple who were unaware of the app and were forced to quarantine). I’m trying to reach out to other people who have been through the same thing. Let’s get together and have a laugh.”

"We had a magician on set who would help us when we had sleight-of-hand things, card trick stuff," Strathairn said, though his own character "never employed any of those" kinds of illusions.
