Here are the best things to do in Edmonton this Weekend

Magic and Madness
Intimate style magic show experiences are normally only available in major cities like New York, Chicago, L.A and Vancouver and sell out months in advance. Being so close to the action requires a performer who has spent decades dedicating themselves to master the art of magic, misdirection, and sleight-of-hand. See what all the rage is and book your tickets today for this incredible show.
