Illusionist will donate proceeds from show to local charities
EXETER - Illusionist
Claude Haggerty is coming
to Exeter and is looking to
donate a percentage of
ticket sales to local chari-
ties.
"We are looking for
school groups, church
groups, sports teams, ser-
vice clubs, etc., that would
like to work with us to
make this a success,"
Haggerty said.
"In the past 12 months
our show has raised over
$540,000 for charity. We
are very proud of that."
Haggerty said in many
communities the show
raises between $5,000 and
$10,000 for local groups.
"This is a win/win/win
situation," Haggerty said.
"The local groups help to
create interest which
increases our attendance
and we donate thousands
of dollars back to these
groups which makes our
sponsors happy."
Haggerty said many
communities have made
the magic show an annual
event.
He said the show itself is
a grand illusion, including
levitation and making girls
appear from slot
machines.
"We will move about
eight tonnes of equipment
to the arena for our
shows," Haggerty said.
"The illusions are on a
grand scale. We use
Siberian Tigers and
African Lions. We change
Ladies into Tigers and
make the cats appear. Our
show is very similar to a
Siegfried and Roy Show."
Haggerty said he became
involved in magic when he
was introduced to his first
card trick at the age of 12
in his hometown of
Dunnville, Ont. Intrigued
and fascinated, he imme-
diately began researching,
studying and performing
the art of magic.
By the age of 25,
Haggerty combined his
love of animals with his
love of magic and added
his first exotic cat to his
show. From that point, he
has raised several exotic
cats from infancy includ-
ing tigers, lions, jaguars
and cougars and featured
them as part of the magi-
cal experience in his
shows.
"All of my cats have been
bottle-fed as small cubs
and trained by me person-
ally. The exotic cats are
considered members of
the family and have added
a tremendous creative ele-
ment to the show,"
Haggerty said.
Haggerty expanded the
use of animals in his show
when he became the only
illusionist in Canada to
vanish a 6,000 -pound ele-
phant in front of hundreds
of audiences in Niagara
Falls, Ont. in the early
1990s. Recently, Haggerty
and his cats were featured
on the "Working Animals"
series on the Discovery
Channel where his exper-
tise as an illusionist work-
ing with exotic cats was
the focus of the documen-
tary.
Haggerty has performed
at the Air Canada Centre,
the Edmonton Oilers All-
Star Game, the Garden
Brothers Circus, the
Opening of the West
Edmonton Mall, and head-
lined at both the Canadian
Central Exhibition in
Ottawa and the Western
Fair in London. He also
headlines in the Sheraton
on the Falls Convention
Centre in Niagara Falls,
Ont. His list of corporate
clients includes Oracle,
Bell Mobility, Honda,
Pillsbury, Siemens and
Livingston to name a few.
He has worked with
charities such as the
Sunshine Foundation,
Camp Trillium, Crime
Stoppers, as well as
numerous Lions, Kinsmen
and Rotary Clubs to
fundraise for worthwhile
causes.
He performs in more
than 500 elementary
schools in Ontario per year
promoting the art of magic
and emphasizing the
importance of following
your dreams.
The Claude Haggerty
Magic Show will be
appearing at the South
Huron Recreation Centre
July 24 from 7-8:30 p.m. It
is sponsored by Hansen's
Your Independent Grocer.
Any local groups inter-
ested in receiving a por-
tion of ticket sales may
contact Haggerty at magic-
man@allsteam.net.
Iceculture working with NASA
HENSALL - What hap-
pens when ice forms on
the NASA space shuttle
and breaks off during the
launch ? NASA intends to
find out and Iceculture,
Inc. from Hensall is help-
ing them do just that.
"At launch," says
Matthew Melis, an aero-
space engineer at the
NASA Glenn Research
Center in Cleveland, Ohio,
"the shuttle experiences
ice forming on the outside
skin caused by cryogenic
gas and we need to know
exactly what happens if
pieces break off and hit
the shuttle's skin. We
want to find out what
damage might be caused
to the skin and other com-
ponents."
Iceculture is producing
ice projectiles to precise
measurements - the ice
must be made with pure
water, have no air bubbles
and no cracks or scratch-
es. It also has to be sup-
plied in a number of dif-
ferent shapes so accurate
tests can be carried out.
Iceculture president Ann
Bayley points out that the
NASA deal is not exactly a
high profit project.

and transport costs cou-
Jazz concert in Grand Bend
GRAND BEND - A jazz concert featuring the Joe
Edmonds All -Stars and John Anderson and the Canucks
will be at the Royal Canadian Legion in Grand Bend
Aug. 22 from 2-8 p.m.
The Grand Bend Probus Club with the London Jazz
Society are hosting the event.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. For
tickets and information call 433-4789.
Clarification
A donation by Carlson Wagonlit Ellison Travel to the
South Huron medical centre was twice as large as the
figure reported in last week's Times -Advocate.
In fact, the business is donating $2,000 to the medical
centre.
Vehicles damaged
SOUTH HURON - Over the last few weeks several
vehicles have been damaged in the Huron Park area.
On May 14 at 7:30 a.m. Goderich Aircraft on
Algonquin Drive in Huron Park contacted OPP over
property damage. Sometime through the night a person
shattered a window of a company truck by using a pro-
jectile fired from a weapon.
On May 13th another report was received from a citi-
zen when two vehicles on Columbia Drive were dam-
aged while they sat in the driveway. Sometime that night
a black 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix and a red 1997 Honda
Civic had either a pellet or BB shot at the windows. The
passenger side window was shot out of the Pontiac while
the rear hatchback was shattered in the Honda. If you
can help solve these crimes call the Exeter OPP office or
contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).
pled with the dry ice we
send with each package
far outweigh the value of
the ice itself," she says.
"But the fact we are help-
ing NASA is pretty excit-
ing. „
The ice research project
is not directly related to
the Columbia disaster in
2003 when the Challenger
was destroyed on re-entry
to the Earth's atmosphere.
In this case, a piece of
foam insulation is believed
to have torn a hole in the
shuttle's wing during the
launch and the problem
occurred on the return
journey.
The projectiles are small,
and are cubed and oblong
shapes. "Fortunately, we
have the technology to be
able to produce exactly
what NASA wants" Bayley
said.
"We've only been doing
this for three weeks," she
added, "and already we
have been working with
research engineers at the
NASA Glenn Research
