From the March 25th Instagram post by The Toronto Magic Company

Ben and Jonah are two of Toronto’s busiest magicians. They’ve sold out shows at comedy clubs and theaters across Canada, amazed Penn and Teller on their hit tv show, Fool Us, and created mind-blowing magic that’s used by magicians all over the world.

Now they’re taking their show on the road (literally!) and bringing the magic and fun across Canada!

Jam-packed with laughs and audience interaction, this show is perfect for families and adults alike. Join Ben and Jonah as they read minds, predict the future, and astound you with world-class sleight-of-hand that looks like real-life CGI!

From the March 28th upload "19-Year-Old MAGICIAN Magic Ben’s Audition Freezes Judge Lilly Singh" on the Canada's Got Talent YouTube channel:

Growing up in a small Inuit community in Northern Quebec, Benjamin was stunned after seeing his first magic act at age 9.  Since then, he’s been mastering his sleight-of-hand.  What results is an audition that stuns the judges with up-close magic precision, but it’s his finale that leaves Lilly completely frozen!
