Vending machine filled with factory worker needs instead of food or drink.

One of my weekend Christmas parties was for an auto parts manufacturing company. At this event I did ‘strolling magic’ instead of a staged show. Strolling tricks is another customer option which often fits better for ‘open house’ style events.

Just off the factory floor I saw this nifty ‘vending’ machine filled with consumable shop supplies workers might regularly require on the job. Swipe your ID card to ‘buy’ something. I had never seen a vending machine like this before.

I’m guessing linking to the employee ID helps keep an eye on, er, I believe they call it shrinkage, too!

Company Christmas Party review…

·

“Thank you very much to the Magical Mr. Oh! for making our party such a success. The kids and parents who attended had a wonderful time. The show was filled with magic and humour, and as promised a lot of audience (kids) participation. The Magical Mr. Oh! delivered on everything he promised, he arrived early and was ready to start on time; and the show was just the right length of time to keep the kids (of all ages) entertained. Thank you again!!”

This past weekend I did a Christmas Party for a company that was booked through an entertainment listing website. My contact for the party just posted this lovely review here:

A ‘grand’ little theatre…!

· 1 Comment ·

Most of my shows are in private homes, rental halls, school gyms, rec centres or library program rooms.

Once in a while something unique comes along like this past weekend when I was part of the family matinee shows during the Ontario Week of Wonder festival in Fergus, Ontario.

The Fergus Grand Theatre is a sweet little room on the main drag in Fergus. Seats about 250 and was about 75% full for our OWoW family friendly afternoon shows.

If you’re ever in the neighbourhood to see a show the beautiful Elora Gorge Conservation area is just down the road. There are some lovely restaurant options near the theatre too.

Cool Public Shows for the Family

·

I’m pleased to be a part of the Ontario Week of Wonder (OWOW!) being held in beautiful Fergus Ontario at the end of October.

There will be a Canadian Stars of Magic Show on Friday Night, Oct 25th, and an International Stars Show on Saturday night, Oct 26th.


Two of the Friday evening performers, Carisa Hendrix and Nicholas Wallace, have appeared on Penn & Teller’s Fool Us.

Nick also appeared on America’s Got Talent.


On Thursday evening, Oct 24th, world travelling (and Fergus resident) entertainer Ryan Joyce will be performing his comedy hypnosis show.

As part of OWOW there will also be other events in local restaurants and some Halloween related shenanigans as well.

Oh!, and it’s a, cough, cough, big Oh! on Saturday (26th) and Sunday (27th) afternoon at 2:00 pm I, Magical Mr. Oh! (see what I did there…?) along with another fine family performer, Peter Mennie, will be presenting a family friendly show for the kids.
(I’d link to my own website but, you know, if you’re reading this you’re on it so…!)

There’s something for everyone!

Bunny Cupcakes

·

Instead of a cake the birthday mom for this 6 year old boy’s party made bunny cupcakes to compliment her ‘magician’ theme decorations. The ears are split marshmallows pressed into coloured sugar. The eyes and teeth are ready-made confections from a store.
If these bunnies look a little nervous I think it’s because they know what’s about to happen to them. Mmmm!
