Sad to report the passing of Paul Wildbaum, the Toronto clown, mime, magician, and generally unpigeonholeable person. We first worked together in 2012 when I was producing a magic night at the Toronto Centre for the Arts headlined by American magician Eugene Burger.

Later, when I went on to host the weekly show Magic Tonight (2013-16) he was a regular guest:
Paul’s material was unique. Much of it was accomplished entirely silently, conveying so much without saying a word. I’m happy to have been able to work with him so often and grateful for the enthusiasm, creativity and joy he brought to our shows. He will be deeply missed.
