Now began the
task of planning and creating a 2 1/2 hour show. It would
consist of magic, sideshow feats, hypnotism, juggling, feats
of strength, fire eating and even music played on a
carpenters saw!
Nicholas asked many
friends and even a priest and Municipal Secretary what their
thoughts were on the feasibility of a travelling
Vaudeville
sideshow. Some thought it was a great idea, but a few had
said ""just forget about it. People might think that the
show is a work of the
Devil
"". Nonplussed, Nicholas Paul
Lewchuk was to become the very first Ukranian magician and
sideshow owner in Canada!
N.P. Lewchuk had described professional magic as a very
interesting, but not an easy occupation to pursue. ""Famous
professional showmen are born, not made. T
hose with a deep
love for
mysticism
may eventually make the
grade and achieve success.""
