He's performed throughout Southern Manitoba and beyond this summer. His name Chris Funk – The Wonderist.

The Winnipegger has been making waves in the magic business after appearing on Wizard Wars, and is now getting set to appear on “Penn and Teller's: Fool Us” Monday night on the C-W Network.

Fool Us is a magic competition where magicians perform tricks in front of Penn & Teller. If Penn & Teller cannot explain how a trick was done, the performer wins a trip to Las Vegas to perform as the opening act in Penn & Teller's world-famous show.

So how did Chris get the chance to compete. Our Chris Sumner asked him after a recent performance at the Winkler Harvest Festival.

We asked Chris if he had the chance to meet Penn & Teller during filming.

Of course we want to know how Chris did with his magic trick which combines his love of music, his years playing violin, and cards magically moving out of the deck.

The question is, seeing how it is a game show, how much can he share.

Good luck Chris! We are all cheering for you!
