Ethan Nielson was hit by a truck in 2016. Although he survived, Ethan and his family endured a long struggle to recovery with the help of the Alberta Children’s Hospital.
Ethan’s mother hosted a charity fundraiser on March 17, 2017, marking the one year anniversary of the collision. I was quite touched by the story, and brought my tea
m out to help in the
fundraiser with a full stage magic children’s show, cotton candy for the guests by Delight Pop Up, and post-show close up one-on-one
magic by Chris Hogan
It was great to finally meet Ethan, and really happy to hear his recovery is progressing very well.
“… Engaging stories that spurred audience participation including levitating a young guest. Yeats kept everyone on their toes with a riveting show. We will for sure use him in the future.” – Melanie Nielsen

The Amazing Kreskin is one of the early influences to my work as a performer and mentalist… and he truly is amazing!
From 1970 – 1975, The Amazing World of Kreskin was a Canadian TV show, produced in Ontario, and syndicated across the U.S. He’s appeared on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Unlike magic illusion, which uses visual effects and sleight of hand to accomplish an effect, mentalism creates an illusion through the use of psychology, science, and an understanding of the human mind.
Kreskin has never claimed to be psychic – he is first and foremost and entertainer. Watching him perform, its incredible to see the amount of pure presentation and charisma he puts into every performance.
I have huge respect for Kreskin, as one of the most successful entertainers in mentalism, and the creator of his own unique brand of entertainment.
