Guelph: Masters of Illusion

From the February 25th post 'Masters of Illusion coming to River Run Centre" at Guelph Today:

Experience sheer spectacle and non-stop wonderment when the internationally renowned Masters of Illusion arrives at the River Run Centre on Tuesday, March 10, at 7 p.m. The Main Stage performance is presented as part of the Park Grocery Family Series.

Masters of Illusion features top illusionists in an edge-of-your-seat performance. Ground-breaking artists perform sleight of hand, interactive mind magic, hilarious comedy, dangerous escapes and large-scale illusions in an unforgettable show combining fantasy, fervour and flair.

“If you're not a fan of magic, you will become a fan after you see Masters of Illusion!” says New Jersey.com.

Julie Eng in the Toronto Star

From the February 24th article "More than 120 years after the ‘Queen of Magic’ was catching bullets, women magicians are still scarce" by Sue Carter in the Toronto Star:

“Adelaide had a career as a woman, which was a rare thing to see,” says Eng. “She was smart and obviously talented. She competed and she was respected because she could do it.”

Herrmann is one of several women performers on display at the Art Gallery of Ontario’s new exhibition “Illusions: The Art of Magic.” Co-curated by Toronto magician and historian David Ben, the show features more than 55 promotional posters from the Allan Slaight Collection from the McCord Museum in Montreal, alongside other late 19th- and early 20th-century props and materials, including one of Harry Houdini’s famous straitjackets.

David Ben and Jonah Babins are also mentioned in the article.

Did you catch her? Julie Eng was in studio with Tom Power on CBC q yesterday. She & Tom discuss Golden Age magic posters at @agotoronto (opens this weekend) and the role of women in magic. There's even a trick or two for Tom! LISTEN: https://t.co/Hs1b8tW4mD PHOTO V. Rashotte/CBC pic.twitter.com/3gWj53A8oF
