This will be the last blog entry in my social distancing ‘Stuff-To-Do’ series. 20 different options for families over the past couple of months. I hope at least one has given your brood a fun moment or two. Pardon my ego but the last one will feature me!
A virtual magic show done for the Hamilton Public Library.
Watch below and it’s also on their YouTube channel. Enjoy!

Shaw Fest-on-the-Home-Front — Stuff to do #19
Love the Shaw Festival. See at least one production every season and one of their long standing actors, Jay Turvey, worked along side me in a grocery store when we were teens. No visits this year alas. Most of their 2020 season has been cancelled as of this writing but hope abounds for 2021…
In the meantime they have produced a wonderful collection of ‘Home Front’ content for patrons and friends to enjoy.
You can find a range of fun videos here including (gasp!) a pretty good magic trick! Shaw’s email list is worthy of your attention.
5 seconds of me! — Stuff to do #17
Was recently asked by Brent & Sarah, a dynamic magical performing duo, to join numerous other Canadian magicians for a charitable compilation video. 5 seconds max was the request. Well, I came in at 5:01! Snort!
This thingy is a wee bit long for a compilation but if you’ve got nothing to do for the next 8 minutes then take a gander.
A well dressed, well lit performer appears at about 6:20. Modesty prevents me from mentioning his name. Cough, cough, ahem, ahem…!

More Podcast for Kids! — Stuff to do #15
Last blog post featured the Story Pirates podcast. Here’s another fun podcast listen for kids during our social isolation roller coaster. This one courtesy of the American public broadcaster National Public Radio.
Called Wow In The World it consists of shorter ‘game show’ style episodes about 10 minutes long along with longer in-depth episodes running about 30 minutes.
All feature comically presented educational content for kids. Worthy of a look for parents.
