Got Talent: Who will we see in Montréal?

There was a flash of what looked like a magic act in the trailer for Canada's Got Talent: Montréal auditions.  Any guesses as to who it will be?

Following the Montréal show tomorrow night, the semifinalists will be revealed.  How many magicians do you figure will perform in the live shows?

Guinness World Record holding magicians

Did you know that Canada has THREE Guinness World Record holding magicians?

• Doug The Great:  Heaviest Stilts Mastered.
• Scott Hammell:  Highest Suspension Straitjacket Escape.
• Lucas Wilson:  Fastest Suspension Straitjacket Escape.

 

Lucas was recently featured in the Simcoe Reformer:

Wilson escaped from a straitjacket and chains while hanging upside down as the audience watched with rapt attention. He performed the stunt in 43 seconds, shaving more than 11 seconds of the previous world record. Wilson did the same trick at last year’s Norfolk County Fair.

Rumours abound that there's soon to be a fourth!  Who could it be?
