Matthew Johnson invited to perform for the Canucks!
This week has been a great thrill & one of the most exciting in a long time!
Imagine this scenario. I am on my way to a gig & I get a call asking me if I can perform magic at a private event for a cocktail reception, a little bit of strolling magic as the guests arrive. The difference with this event is that the small guest list consists of the players for the Vancouver Canucks, their wives, coaches & other special guests. What a thrill this was. The entire Aquilini family made me feel very welcome & the Canucks were a GREAT bunch of guys who just happened to LOVE magic…..who knew!
I do have to confess to not watching much hockey as it happens. Being an English fella who moved to Vancouver 11 years ago it is not a game that I ever really followed. However I do like the opportunity to cheer the home team on in the playoffs & always find the chance to do so very exciting!
Probably the most excited person I know was my youngest daughter Sophia who is 9. Imagine the look on her face the next morning when I gave her a water bottle signed by Roberto Luongo. She was the proudest child in her class that morning….ahh what a great feeling that was as a father.
So, I will be jetting off to the UK on Friday on a 2 week, 10 date tour, I will return on Sunday the 18th of October. Do not fear! While I am away the offices of MagicShow2Go will still be open. My wife Sue will be taking my calls & booking in shows for the rest of October, November & the busy Christmas season. If you do need to contact me in my abscence you can always do so by dropping me an email at matthew@magicshow2go.com
