One of Ireland’s best loved artists, Daniel O’Donnell has announced that he will return to Canada this fall. The tour will see the record breaking chart singer play SaskTel Centre on Saturday, September 16.

The concert also features Daniel’s longterm singing partner Mary Duff.

Win a meet and greet with Darcy Oake! Illusionist Darcy Oake performs June 13, at TCU Place. Oake is a performance artist whose modern interpretation gratifies the hunger of audiences seeking spectacle and nail-biting feats of illusion. Inspired by classic sleights of hand techniques, Darcy transports the crowd to another dimension with exhilarating visuals and logic-defying exploits. After being baffled by an accidental card trick his father – award-winning Canadian sportscaster Scott Oake – showed him at eight years old, Oake delved into the craft. He soon became an international magic champion, at age six-

teen beating out seasoned professionals at various events and winning the coveted People’s Choice Gold Medal in Seattle, Washington. Even before he was legally old enough to enter nightclubs, Oake headlined at the worldfamous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California. Today, Oake proudly carries on the tradition of such classic illusionists as fellow Canadian Doug Henning, while adding his trademark grandeur and charm. Oake has emerged in the world of illusion as a new generation of contemporary mysticism. He’s performed throughout Europe, from Paris

to London, and across North America, from the heart of Times Square in New York City to the Las Vegas strip. Buy a ticket to the show and you will be entered into a draw to upgrade you and a friend’s ticket. Don’t be surprised if Darcy plays some tricks on you backstage! Contest closes June 12 at 11:59pm. Winner will be contacted June 13. Don’t miss this thrilling show at TCU Place, June 13, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at www.tcutickets.ca. Submitted by TCU Place
