Frewin’s risky business
From the Niagara Falls Review:
One more illusion. One more long night to get through. Once magician Greg Frewin deals with his Blades of Fire, the three-week marathon is over.
But it won’t be easy.
It’s the big finale of his CBC special, and there probably isn’t a worse place to be in Niagara Falls on this January night. The temperature at Table Rock is steadily dropping. Mist from the Horseshoe Falls has covered everything in ice. The wind from the gorge and nearby hotels cuts through the thickest overcoat.
Tomorrow, the crew will head home and begin the long process of editing all this footage into a one-hour TV show, not even airing for 11 months.
For now, everyone just wants to get through this last night without frostbite.

FREWIN PART TWO: Magician can make crowds appear
From the Niagara Falls Review:
The whiff of free magic and being on TV has them lining up early.
The show doesn’t start until 6:30 p. m., but by 5 p. m. the lobby is already starting to fill up at the Greg Frewin Theatre. Before they enter, they’re greeted by a sign telling them they will be filmed tonight: “If you attend this event, your image may appear in the production and you hereby give consent to the use of your image.”
For many, that’s the reason they’re here. Two kids decked out in Greg Frewin T-shirts have already seen the show. But mention being on TV, and their eyes light up.
Frewin’s CBC special will take three weeks to film, and this is one of the biggest nights. A good crowd is crucial. A good-looking crowd is equally important. Organizers seat some of the more ‘camera friendly’ patrons near the stage, where they’re more likely to be filmed.
Hats and shirts with corporate logos are a no-no. A greeter asks everyone to smile. A lot.
Oh, and don’t look at the cameras.

Greg Frewin’s grand illusions
From the Niagara Falls Review:
After 90 minutes of delays, Greg Frewin is finally ready to make stuff disappear.
His doves are in place. The lights are finally working. The TV cameras flip on. He takes his place at centre stage, where he’ll film the day’s first illusion in front of a crew that has already had a long day.
“Can we get some smoke?,” he asks one of the backstage staff.
Thirty seconds pass. “Smoke?,” he repeats.
“Not working,” a voice answers behind the curtain.
Frewin has kept it together all morning, but this time he’s furious. He stomps off stage and returns a minute later, explaining why the smoke machine won’t work because someone piled a bunch of material on it.
“I don’t know why people can’t not put stuff on top of it,” he mutters. “A $10,000 machine …”
You should read the rest of the article… it’s very good. I’m looking forward to the other two parts.

Frewin provides a magical holiday special
From the Toronto Sun:
Magicians are creepy. At least, that’s the general conclusion many of us came to during our childhoods.
We were kind of kidding when we said that. But Greg Frewin answered the question seriously.
“I think magic has gone through a lot of changes over the past 15 or 20 years,” said the Canadian and world-renowned magician, whose special Greg Frewin Magic Man: Home for the Holidays debuts Wednesday, Dec. 9 on CBC.
“I think through the media, magicians like David Blaine and David Copperfield have weaved it into a cooler art form than it used to be.”

Magician Frewin stars in CBC Christmas special
From Canada.com:
Magician Greg Frewin will star in a CBC Christmas special that will climax with a stunt over Niagara Falls.
Greg Frewin Magic Man: Home for the Holidays will focus on Frewin as he balances family and career while running a dinner theatre. The veteran Las Vegas performer will cap the hourlong show suspended upside-down in a strait jacket over Niagara Falls with “blades of fire” hurtling towards him.
This is what I saw being filmed back in January…
