I just been to the Edmonton Street Festival, The managers let me on to the program what a great bunch of pepole. I had some great hats. It was good to see other shows as well. There was one other Magicain working there "Ron" I cant remeber his sir-name, nice guy.
Right now I am in the middle of the Rockies, WOW, this is a great country it is so beautiful. I am coming back to Vancouver this Friday will be working over the week end, so if you are around put $20 IN MY HAT If you are around do let me know. Mario |

Mario,
A couple of questions..how long will you be in Vancouver for? Where will you be performing. Inquiring minds want to know. Chrystal |

Chrystal
I will be there for my last week, I guess I will be on Robson Street, Granvell Island and perhaps English Bay. As for Johnny Flash he is a nice guy. Mario |

Hi Again Mario,
You should get some good hats on Robson as it's full of high end stores and lots of tourist although the best place is English Bay, which is located in Stanley Park. Anywhere in the park would be highly suggested, especially near the zoo or aquarium area. A really high traffic area for tourist. Be careful with Granville Island as although this is one of the best places for a busker you also need a license/permit and they do get a bit iffy with those that don't have one. If you do manage to get there..make sure you visit the magic shop, Imagination Market, 2nd floor. The fellow behind the counter, Joe, can give you lots of info and maybe put you in contact with some of the local buskers like Ambrose, Donovan..etc... Have fun and best of luck to you! Chrystal |

Mario,
The other magician who performed at the Edmonton Street Performer's Festival was Ron Pearson. He is one of the few full-time practing professionals in the City. He does quite a few corporate gigs along with the festival both here and in Winnipeg. Chrystal, I didn't realize you were from the Vancouver area. My family and I will be coming through Vancouver at the beginning of August and it would be fantastic if I could meet up with some fellow Café members. Whenever I'm in town, I always head over to Joe and Amanda's shop. Maybe a few of us could co-ordinate a day and time to get together. Kent

Kent, a bunch of local Vancouver Magicians meet every Friday at the Best Western Sands Hotel at Davie & Denman in Checkers Bar& Grill. We have a back section reserved for us sho just have the waitress point you in the diretion of the magician's table. Guys usual start turning up around 4PM and hang in until 7 for some magic, beer and a bite to eat. Visiting magicians are always welcome!

John,
Is that the DMC I keep hearing about? Joe told me about it a little while back and I've been meaning to drop by. Unfortunately, I won't get into Vancouver until Saturday, July 30, 2005, and I'll be leaving for Kelowna by the upcoming Wednesday. so, it doesn't look like I'll be able to make the Friday meeting this time around. Kent

Yes, it is the DMC group. Sorry to hear you'll miss the Friday session. Make sure you drop by the shop on Granville Island if you can over the weekend. There's always a few guys that drop by thougout the day.
Enjoy your holiday. I just got back from Kelowna myself.... |

Hi Again,
This is so ironic as received a call from my sister today (before I saw this post), she just happened to be in Joe's store and she put him on the phone. I had a conversation with him regarding the magic Café and that people visiting the city might be dropping by to see him. Small world! He mentioned he had already met Mario before his trip to Edmonton. Kent, that sounds great! Perhaps send me a pm and we can possibly arrange a time when it's convient to all of us. Vancouver is my home base but the last couple years I had the opportunity to work and live for a couple weeks in Paris and NY. Hi John! Long time no see! One of these days I'm going to make it to one of the DMC meetings. :O) Cheers Chrystal |

Hey Mario, did you do the drive from Jasper to Banff? (It's one of the ways you could return to Vancouver from Edmonton, rather than going straight back to Calgary before heading west.) That particular drive is probably the most beautiful stretch of road in the entire country. (Although I've never been to northern Canada, I've been everywhere else.) Even if you missed that particular drive, there's lots of spectacular scenery all throughout that area. I'm glad your trip to Canada includes that part of it.

Oh sure. When I'm in Edmonton, Mario is in BC. Now that I just got back from BC last night, I discover Mario busked Edmonton in my absense. Grr.
I've enjoyed the travelogue. Thanks. John

So if Magnus E goes to Wales that means Mario is back.
