Alex Boyer in the CBC (and Big Trick Energy on Ellen)

ICYMI, Alex, Chris Ramsay, Eric Leclerc, and Wes Barker will be appearing on Ellen later today! (April 15th).  Read our interview with the Big Trick Energy cast.

 

From the April 7th article "De Gatineau à la télé américaine : le rêve éveillé du magicien Alex Boyer" by Catherine Morasse at the CBC as translated by Google:

When Alex Boyer speaks, one word keeps coming up: intense . Like those days that are perfectly settled, and like the illusions and stunts of Big Trick Energy .

"We always had ambulances on the set, because we were still doing pretty intense stunts . Sometimes we put our lives on the line, and sometimes it was just funny. But it was a lot, a lot of energy, a lot of work, a lot of creation. And we had the best team in the world: I couldn't have asked for better than that," recognizes the one who grew up and still lives in the Aylmer area.

Broken wand: Harry Robert Herbert

Our sincere condolences to Harry's family and friends.

 

From the Wallace Funeral Home:

Harry was a hard working man who was never idle. He was a true craftsman and jewellery maker. He owned and operated The Magic Lantern Gift Shop with his wife and love of his life, Anne. He was an internationally known magician, a tailor, a member of the historical society, a member of the Sussex Silverados and a very proud and active member of the Penobsquis Baptist Church. He loved to lead Bible Study and teach Sunday School. It was never odd to see him out and about or stopping to talk to someone.

Harry will live on in the hearts of his children:Richard Herbert and his wife Eva, Steven Herbert and Karen Herbert; his stepchildren: Kevin Demas and Christie Demas all of British Columbia; as well as several gradnchildren and great grandchildren.

Mr Harry Robert Herbert of Kingston, formerly of Penobsquis passed away at the Sussex Health Centre on April 6, 2021 at the age of 88.
