Sheldon Casavant

Sheldon Casavant is a dynamic entertainer of remarkable skill and versatility. Still in his early 20s, Sheldon has developed into one of Canada's most promising performers in the field of magic and illusion.

Sheldon's interest in magic began when he was eight years old. He started by performing at private parties and community events, and quickly generated attention as a talent on the rise. Sheldon has since studied the art of magic at the McBride Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas and is a graduate of the prestigious Chavez Studio of Magic in La Verne, California.

From intimate gatherings to audiences in excess of 25,000 people, Sheldon's contemporary style of magic has been appreciated throughout the world. In the summer of 2004, Sheldon was the featured guest performer on a tour in China including performances in Beijing and Shanghai. For a total of 9 months during 2005 and 2006, Sheldon performed nightly at the New Akao Hotel in Atami, Japan totaling over 630 shows! Sheldon is excited to continue to share his magic with audiences around the world.

"Sheldon is one of the rising stars in the world of magic. His magic is new, exciting, and original."
