Ron Pearson has been a professional magician, writer and actor for the last 35 years. He has received the Order of Houdini from the Association of Entrepreneurial Performers in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and has amazed audiences everywhere from the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC, and from the Royal National Theatre in London, England, to the fabled Carnegie Hall in New York City.

 

Ron fell in love with outdoor festival performing in the late 80's watching shows at the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival. A few years later he was performing at the same festival himself, and over the years has not only performed countless times but has served on the Board of Directors, for a number of years as President.
