World Wide Doug Henning Birthday Celebration [May 7]

If you attended either of the Chip Romero CAM JAMs (April 14, 2021 or October 27, 2021) you'll know that Chip will be a fabulous host for this event!

 

From the April 30th post "World Wide Doug Henning Birthday Celebration, May 7" by John Cox at Wild About Harry:

Next Saturday, May 7th, S.A.M. President Tom Gentile and the great Chip Romero will host a 6-hour online "World Wide Doug Henning Birthday Celebration". No doubt this was inspired by the success of the World Wide Houdini Birthday Celebration last month. I'm looking forward to six hours of Doug...and Chip!

Check out the Event Page on Facebook for details. I will post the ZOOM link when available.

Felix Felicis to Michael Kras!

From the April 18th Instagram post by Michael Kras:

I have some news! Today was my first day jumping into one of the most exciting (and terrifying) journeys of my career so far as I join the Canadian premiere of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at Mirvish as the Illusions & Magic Assistant.

I’ve been in magic even longer than I’ve been in theatre, and it’s a literal dream to be able to combine these two parts of my artistic identity by joining the creative team behind this international smash hit play that uses magic, illusion, and sleight of hand as a key piece of its theatrical language.

I’ve never worked on something of such immense scale, and I’d be lying if I said I’m not overwhelmed. But I’m also beyond excited to work with this unbelievable company of artists, learn on my feet, and hit the ground running. Let’s GOOOOO.
