Magician To Attempt World’s Largest Mega-Illusion
A Canadian magician will take a four-week journey across Canada with nothing but a camera and a deck of cards.
Orlando, Florida (MTI) March 20, 2010—A Canadian will take to the streets this
summer as he risks his life to give back to the culture that helped shape his life.
On August 1st, 2010 Andrew Rufiange, A magician hailing from Alberta, Canada, will
embark on a life changing journey from one coast of Canada to the other. Starting in
Halifax, Nova Scotia it will take about four‐weeks to complete the 6,148KM journey
to Vancouver. His goal: to remind everyone that, “…even if you have nothing you can
become something if you work for it.” During his one‐month adventure he faces the
ultimate obstacle, survival.
During a press conference event scheduled for July 31, 2010 Mr. Rufiange will
surrender all personal items including money, credit cards, and cellular devices. In
order to survive this trip he will have to earn everything using nothing but a deck of
cards. To ensure that we are able to follow every moment of the expedition a sole
videographer will accompany him. Should everything go as planned, on September
4th, 2010, Andrew will attempt the largest mega‐illusion ever staged: Transporting
himself from Vancouver, British Columbia to his hometown of Camrose, Alberta in
less than 10 Seconds. That’s a distance of over 1100KM (683 Miles.)
Growing up around street hustlers during his youth, Andrew quickly found interest
in cards and the powers they possessed. Then one night, during a David Copperfield
television special, he quickly realized that there was a whole new world ahead of
him. He studied hard, learning everything about card magic he could and eventually
was able to persuade his hustler friends to put down their scams and search for a
new kind of reaction. Mr. Rufiange believes that if he can make one person’s life
better through magic then the risk is well worth it.
