From the April 11th Instagram post by Vitaly Evening of Wonders:

I'm looking forward to coming back to @mapleridgeact (Maple Ridge, BC) on May 15th!

About 10 years ago, it was one of the first venues that took a chance and presented my show in the Lower Mainland! It will be a pleasure to come back as a closing performance of the Arts Council’s 50th Anniversary Season!

From the Harold Green Theatre Company:

Vitaly, celebrated as one of the most unique and innovative illusionists in the world, brings his most ambitious work to Toronto. Vitaly combines the art of illusion with stories of his years growing up in Israel. Vitaly does more than entertain; he moves, inspires, and instills within all who experience his show a fresh perspective on life and a greater realization that ours is a world of beauty and wonder.

Maple Ridge: The Great Gordini and Norden the Magician [April 30]

From the April 19th article "Serving up magic, laughs, and family fun at home show in Maple Ridge --
The Great Gordini will be performing at this year’s Ridge Meadows Home Show
" by Colleen Flanagan in the Maple Ridge News:

Visitors to the Ridge Meadows Home Show Family Fest are in for a weekend of magic, comedy, and ventriloquism.

One of those magicians will be The Great Gordini, known off stage at Gord Boyes, who will be taking to the stage at the show with his favourite skunky-monkey Otto.

Boyes describes his show as interactive, full of comedy, and fun for every age.


Although he has been practising magic for decades, he has been performing across the Lower Mainland for about 15 years. Every show is different for the illusionist, who loves performing for children.

“It helps keep me young. I just love being around the kids and seeing the smiles on their faces,” he said.
