About the Show

Nick wallace sitting on a stool on stage with a quote in text: "a true magician who not only uses magic tricks to bend your mind, but who just as often employs themselves and concepts to blow it away" - Beyond James

Award winning illusionist Nick Wallace combines magic and storytelling in exploring the murky waters of truth and fiction.

Charming, unassuming and approachable – but at the same time deeply mischievous and unpredictable. It’s no wonder he has been described as “Pure evil wrapped in Mr. Rogers Sweater.”

“He is a true magician who not only uses magic tricks to bend your mind, but who just as often employs themes and concepts to blow it away.” – BeyondJames

Nick has appeared on America’s Got Talent, fooled Penn & Teller on their hit show “Fool Us”, and has been named the Canadian Champion of Magic by the Canadian Association of Magicians. He is the 2018 recipient of the Allan Slaight Award for Canadian Rising Star. In 2022 he was named Variety Entertainer of the Year by the Canadian Organization of Campus Activities (COCA).

Nick Wallace has forgone fancy props and special effects and prefers to conjure with an audience’s imagination by presenting magic and mind reading in a way that is both entertaining and thought provoking.
