Who is Curt? And Why is he so peculiar?
I acknowledge that the land I live and perform on is the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

I have loved magic for a long time, but only in recent years have I taken the steps to bring it to the wider community, which for me has been busking on the streets of Vancouver and performing at family-friendly events.
My background is as a teacher of music and band. Being a teacher, I've had much experience with kids of all ages. I am also a lover of music and the arts, passionate about producing quality art to bring joy and connection to the people I offer it to. Born and raised in Winnipeg, I now live in Vancouver as a husband and dad to a family I love deeply. |

My inspiration...
Many years ago, I was in middle school when my family took a road trip from Winnipeg over to the East coast of Canada. It was there, in a Halifax harbor market, that my family saw a large, jovial, pirate-garbed magician busker. This guy was great, blowing my mind with a few card tricks and other gimmick prop tricks. I watched him so many times and he showed me a few simple cards tricks to get the ball rolling. There have been many great influences along the way, but this man is the inspiration that lit up this kid's wonder so many years ago. I don't know his name, but I will never forget him. |
