Hamilton: "Strange and Unusual" with Nicholas Wallace
From Theatre Aquarius:
May 11 – 13, 2017
We all share a common delusion; that our world view is based on truth and logic, and that we would never believe in something unquestionably weird. But we do. Whether you admit it or not, we all believe in something weird.
Using magic and storytelling, illusionist Nick Wallace investigates the world of superstitions, psychics and other weird beliefs in a show not to be missed.

Festival de magie: The panel that reads your thoughts
The Festival de magie de Québec starts on Thursday. I am a big fan of their creative, dynamic, and often interactive advertising campaigns. In 2011 it was this magical billboard. In 2012, it was "la disparition." In 2013, "pouvoirs magiques." For 2014, "le balai magique." This one, "le magicien" (in English: The Magician) was released in August of 2015. And last year was "The Mysterious Billboard."
For this year, have a look at "The panel that reads your thoughts."
