From the November 24th Instagram post by Jason Verners:

Bringing a brand new illusion to the big screens at the SOLD-OUT @victoriaroyals game this Saturday vs. @_connorbedard and the @reginapatshockey. 7000 hockey fans, and an intimate illusion on the jumbotron during intermission- I couldn't be more excited!
