Fabien Olicard: Quebec [Aug 19-21] and Montreal [Aug 26-27]

From the June 28th Instagram post by Luc Langevin (translated by Google):

Quebec friends and lovers of mystery, mentalism and the brain; my friend @fabienolicard will be in Quebec with his show “En création” on August 26 and 27 at the Casino de Montréal (and on August 19, 20 and 21 at the ComediHa! Club de Québec… but it’s already sold out)

Fabien is a real phenomenon… and he is not often in America… so take advantage of it!

Broken wand: Brydon Evans Smith

Our sincere condolences to Brydon's family and friends.  Our thoughts are with you at this most difficult time. 

 

From the Globe and Mail:

February 1, 1938 - July 19, 2022

His championing of Indigenous artists was a vital but lesser-known aspect of his career. Smith was honoured in 2014 with a Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts for his extraordinary contribution to the visual arts in Canada. Accomplished magician, generous and fun-loving host, eco-warrior, inventor of the Samuel Beckett Martini, margarita-maker par excellence, Brydon will live on in our memories not only for having made a lasting contribution to the arts in Canada and abroad but as a lover of life to its fullest. Donations may be made in his name to: The Canadian Wildlife Federation, The Alzheimer Society of Canada Research branch or the Dementia Society, Ottawa Renfrew. Celebrations of Brydon's life will be held in the coming months.
