Rod Chow on CBC Radio and at CTV News
Updated at 10am to add:
- Listen to Rod's August 11th interview by Stephen Quinn on CBC Radio.
From the August 11th article "Vancouver man the first non-American to be president of magicians' society" by Kendra Mangione at CTV News:
A Vancouver man is the first outside of the United States to be made president of a very specific group: the Society of American Magicians.
Rod Chow follows in the footsteps of greats like escape artist Harry Houdini.
He said it all started with card tricks, then his act expanded to include money. His website describes him as a "master money manipulator" who is "sophisticated, stunning and sensational."
The magician who's often found performing at the Richmond Night Market or around Vancouver's Chinatown seems to have caught the attention of his peers.
