Chad’s fast-paced lecture combines a high-energy performance along with humorous explanations to bring an enjoyable experience to all. It’s filled with both close-up and stand-up effects using everyday objects such as cards, coins, dart guns, pens, rubber bands, keys, spray paint, finger rings, lint brushes, matches, spaghetti and more! This material has been honed by years of performance and there is truly something for everyone!

Broken wand: Anatole Corriveau
Phil Matlin, from Perfect Magic, tells me that Judge Anatole Corriveau attended many Magie Montréal conventions. From Phil:
From the Fédération des coopératives funéraires du Québec:
With thanks to Dennis Schick from the IBM for sending this information along.
At one point we asked him to be judge for the contests. He laughed and asked if he had to wear his robe. Of course he accepted and he turned out to be one the best judges we ever had. His approach to judging was so different from what we were used to, but it all made sense. His commentaries about the contests were a joy to read and most of all very informative clear and concise. We learned a lot from him.Thanks for sharing your memories, Phil.
From the Fédération des coopératives funéraires du Québec:
Au CHUL, le 2 juillet 2016, à l’âge de 90 ans, est décédé l’Honorable juge Anatole Corriveau, époux de feu madame Marie-Berthe Rousseau. Il demeurait à Québec.
