Wes Barker: Mostly Magic, Mostly Mayhem

FRIDAY, MARCH 27 • 8:00 PM
Market Hall Performing Arts Centre

In MOSTLY MAGIC, Wes Barker doesn’t just blur the line between genius and absolute chaos—he sprints across it, waving sparklers and laughing like a guy who’s already signed the liability waiver. The comedy magician delivers a blast of impossible tricks, unwise stunts, and storytelling so wild you start to genuinely question how this man is still upright, let alone touring.

You’ve seen him pop up on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, America’s Got Talent, Kill Tony, and Ellen—sometimes amazing people, sometimes alarming them, always entertaining. Onstage, Wes fuses world-class sleight-of-hand with the kind of beautifully bad ideas that make audiences lean in, wince, and howl with laughter in the same breath.

It’s smart. It’s stupid. It’s dangerously funny. And somehow it all balances on that razor-straight line between “brilliant” and “what the hell was that?”

If you like your magic polished, precise, and predictable… this is not your show.
If you like it unhinged, high-impact, and unforgettable—welcome to the circus. Wes Barker is waiting.
