For two months at the beginning of each year, Bermuda becomes an international hub for entertainment at the Bermuda Festival of the Performing Arts.
The Outerbridges were invited to bring their Time Capsule Tour show to the festival on February 4 and 5, 2011.
The summer edition of the ACTRA Montreal Grapevine, published by the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists, congratulates the Outerbridges on their recent Touring Artist of the Year Award from the BC Touring Council.
After more than 30,000 km (18,000 miles) of driving and over five months on the road for the Outerbridge - Magical Moments in Time tour, Ted and Marion are now on vacation in Dusseldorf, Germany. They always blend in with the locals.
Ted, Marion, and Zelda the Psychic Weather Chicken were interviewed on radio station Ocean 100 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island by Kirk and Kerri Wynne. Zelda once again successfully predicted the weather! Watch it here.
Ted and Marion performed their signature levitation outside the Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The illusion was performed for local and national media to promote their April 16 performance on the island. The Outerbridges sold out the 1100 seat venue on their two previous visits.
Ted and Marion are pleased to announce that they are the recipients of the BC Touring Council’s 2010 Touring Artist of the Year Award. The annual awards presentation was held at the Pacific Contact booking conference and tradeshow from March 26-28, 2010, in Burnaby, British Columbia. The Outerbridges’ business agent Cameron Smillie, and booking representative Carolynn Clark, were in attendance to accept the award on their behalf.
“Nominations for Touring Artist of The Year were made from member presenters and the award is presented to an artist who toured BC within the past year, demonstrates artistic excellence in their discipline and the highest degree of professionalism in touring,” said the BC Touring Council.
“We are extremely honoured to receive this award,” said Marion. Ted added, “We have been touring annually in BC since 2006 with our Outerbridge – Magical Moments in Time show and we are delighted that our performances have been so well received. Many theatres have presented our show two or three times.”
From the minds of Canada’s most popular touring illusionists comes a brand new show, The Time Capsule Tour. Ted and Marion Outerbridge have taken the art of illusion to new heights by combining it with dance, theatre, and day-to-day life – and the results are so memorable, you will want to put them in a time capsule! Audiences and presenters alike have embraced the Outerbridges for their originality, solid track record, and pure magical entertainment.
One of the highlights of The Time Capsule Tour is the prediction of the contents of a time capsule at each performance venue.
The Outerbridges predict the contents of a time capsule and lock the prediction in a metal chest. The chest is shipped to theatres several months prior to the performance. On the evening of the performance, randomly-selected audience members decide what items the time capsule should contain. When the time capsule is opened, the contents match!
The Outerbridges’ world-class illusion show has played to sold-out houses and standing ovations from coast to coast and in Europe. Don’t miss this masterfully orchestrated, high-energy magical adventure filled with breathtaking new illusions.
