CULTURAL PERFORMANCE
Today we had Sheldon Cassauant, a magician and illusionist come to McGowan to perform.  The performance was outstanding as his skills were amazing.  Mr. Cassauant was interested in magicians like Harry Houdini, performing many of the same tricks that the famous Harry Houdini demonstrated.  My personal favourites were the levitating table and escape from the straight jacket.  Mr. Cassauant was able to get out of the straight jacket in 60 seconds, in addition to creating a balloon animal in that time.  Outstanding!  Some skills that Mr. Cassauant encouraged students to focus on were finding something that you are interest in doing, locating resources in the library, and practicing your skills until they are perfect.  I hope that your child enjoyed the show as much as I did.  You can find out more information at www.sheldoncassauant.com
