Oakville, Ontario
Illusionist Sam Pearce appeared at the 20th annual Downtown Oakville Jazz Festival from August 10th to 12th to help showcase Rain Condominiums, a luxury condominium development being constructed in Oakville.
During the three-day outdoor event, Pearce entertained hundreds of festival attendees with his comedy magic and close-up illusions.
Right before his audience’s eyes Pearce magically caused dinner forks to bend and twist simply by waving them in the air. Another crowd favourite was Pearce’s interactive sleight-of-hand magic with a deck of playing cards.
“This is my first year entertaining at the Oakville Jazz Festival” said Pearce. “Without a question, my favourite part is meeting the hundreds of families who watch my magic up-close. It’s rare that someone has the chance to see magic happen right under their nose; I love watching the expression on people’s faces when I perform for them.”
The annual jazz festival attracts thousands of visitors from Oakville and across the Greater Toronto Area. Headlining artists included Peter Appleyard, Holly Cole, Allen Toussaint, Joey Defrancesco, as well as countless other Canadian performers and musicians.
