Shawn Farquhar is the two-time World Champion of Magic. He completely bamboozled Penn & Teller on their TV show “Fool Us”, has appeared on “Ellen” and in theatres and aboard cruiseships around the world. A seasoned veteran entertainer, Shawn never fails to win over his audiences with amazing magic and comedy.

Murray Hatfield and Teresa are a talented team of performers that together bring to the stage over three decades of training and experience in drama, dance, music and theater – and combine them with breath-taking magic, contemporary music, interactive comedy and some of the newest, most exciting, and most up-to-date illusions seen today.

Paul Romhany is considered one of the top Charlie Chaplin impersonators and magicians in the world. Paul brings the visual comedy of Charlie Chaplin back to life in this International Award Winning Magic Act, considered to be one of the most entertaining and original acts in magic. This highly visual comedy act is full of fun and laughter, and always in high demand throughout the world.

Gary Savard presents an award-winning act with fresh innovative magic often featuring doves, budgies, rabbits and his partner CoCo, a beautiful blue and gold macaw. Past president of the Vancouver Magic Circle, he’s also a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and Society of Americans Magicians, an organization that at one time had Harry Houdini as its president. You won’t believe your eyes!

As the organizer of the “Magic for Fort Mac” benefit performance, John Kaplan brings a wealth of experience gained from over 3 decades of experience raising money for schools and community groups with his Fundraising Magic program. A talented and engaging magician that specializes in family-friendly entertainment. 

For over 25 years, Clinton W. Gray has been blending magic, music and mayhem into high-energy, interactive comedy shows around the world. A ten-time international award winning comedy magician, his performances have been described as a “roller-coaster ride of antics, that cause audiences to be belly-laughing one moment and speechless with amazement the next.” (Edmonton Journal)

Trevor & Lorena have become one of the hottest teams in comedy magic. Their show is a unique blend of classic comedy and magical innovation. With over 20 international awards, including North America Stage Champions and the Sigfried & Roy “Golden Lions Head” from the World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas, they are truly “two of a kind!” 

Damien James started talking to himself at the age of 6. His parents, upon deciding that therapy was too expensive, bought him a puppet so that he would have someone to talk to. Since then, Damien has entertained audiences across North America with his unique brand of ventriloquism and comedy, as well as televised appearances on The Comedy Network, YTV and others.

Since 1985 Mike Battie has been wowing audiences with his hilariously dynamic stage show. He blends virtuoso juggling choreographed to music with light-hearted crowd participation that never fails to amaze and amuse “children of all ages!”

Bring the whole family and come enjoy the show!
