A NIGHT OF MYSTERY
Downtown Van is bringing free movie nights to downtown Vancouver again this summer and they’ve invited Vancouver Mysteries to host the pre-movie entertainment for their screening of Knives Out. Starting at 5:30PM, look for these experiences at the Summer Movie Nights event on August 8.
A Mini Murder Mystery
A miniature murder mystery? How mysterious! Visit the Vancouver Mysteries tent and see if you can solve the murder. The Vancouver Mysteries Experience Team will meet you there and give you everything you need to participate in this new unique experience. Once the time is up, you will have an opportunity to cast your ballot – did you catch the killer? Shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone! We’ll send you the results after we’ve given out prizes drawn from the correct answers.
We’ve been working on this mini murder mystery all summer and we can’t wait to share it with you and test your detective skills! This is a free experience provided by Vancouver Mysteries.
Mystery and Magic with Rob Teszka
Meet magician Rob Teszka! Rob Teszka has just returned from the Winnipeg Fringe Festival in time to join us on August 8 for a murder mystery movie night. He’s Vancouver Mysteries’ favourite magician – we loved his Fringe Festival show at last year’s Vancouver Fringe Fest and we love his Parlour Magic Show!
Find him at the Downtown Van tent starting at 5:30PM, where he’ll be demonstrating some mystifying magic, bunkum, and trickery! And later on, he’ll roam the crowd just before the movie, performing magic right up close!
If you want to see more of Rob and his magic, he is available for private bookings through Vancouver Mysteries as well as directly through his website robteszkamagic.com. Or check out The Parlour Magic Show Vancouver’s only monthly variety magic show (follow The Parlour Magic Show on Instagram for new show dates).
Mysterious Sounds of Stephen Hamm Theremin Man
Perhaps you met Stephen Hamm Theremin Man in 2023 at the official launch of our new outdoor game Ghost Patrol. Or maybe you met him at the Vancouver Mysteries tent at the 2022 Khatsahlano Street Party. Don’t miss your chance to learn about the most mysterious instrument of all, the theremin. Stop by the DowntownVan tent to meet Stephen Hamm Theremin Man in person, make some music together, and check out his new album Songs of the Future. He’ll be at the DowntownVan tent starting at 6:30PM. There will also be a short Stephen Hamm Theremin Man performance before the movie begins – so take a seat and get ready to take a trip into outer space!
Listen to his new album on Spotify | Watch Theremin Man videos on YouTube.
