BY WENDY JB KING I t takes hocus-pocus and a touch of prestidigitation to transform two people into one awe-inspir- ing team of magicians . Sean Watson and Chanelle Mun- roe are individually adept at stage wizardry, but put them together and the pair spark an alchemical reaction to become Magician & The Muse and they are bringing their Las Vegas-style grand illusion show back to thrill audiences at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair.
Master of illusion Sean Watson has amazed people around the world from Australia to Hong Kong to Brazil, the Bahamas and across North America including presti- gious stages at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas Hilton, and Mandalay Bay. Forging a path of her own in the world of magic, Chanelle Munroe, also known by her Anishinaabe spirit name White Bird Woman, is the world’s only female Métis ma- gician. She was recently featured as the cover story for international magic magazine, Vanish, and in SAY (Spirit of Aboriginal Youth), an In- digenous lifestyle magazine.
Both are from Manitoba. Sean Watson (seanwatsonmagi- cian.com) has been practicing mag- ic for 30 years. A rocky birth was a tough break leaving him struggling with learning challenges and a speech impediment at school. But he found the calling which would transform his life with the discov- ery of a library book on magic and later, going to a live show starring a famous magician.
