Stabbing at a magician

July 4, 2009August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

It was setup as a magic act, where the girl from the audience would stab the magician. But, it turned to a comedy routine, with him calling her crazy for actually being about to stab him. No stabbing took place.

The singer was performing with a band on a stage on Stephen Avenue, and she got out on the street to find some people to dance to the music. I previously saw her perform on the Avenue during Stampede week in 2007 and 2008.
