In July 2017, the duo performed on the show
Penn & Teller: Fool Us, but failed to fool the hosts.
For over 20 years they were the producers and stars of the largest touring magic show in Canada. The show, "Magic 'n Miracles", featured Murray and Teresa plus their guests - some of the most renowned magicians and variety performers in the world. Through 2 plus decades and thousands of shows they helped to raise almost 20 million dollars for charities in Canada and the United States.
In 2016, Murray & Teresa produced and starred in one of the largest magic/illusion shows to appear at a Canadian fair or exhibition. "UNBELIEVABLE!...A Magical Experience" had a cast and crew of 29 magicians, dancers and stage and production crew and was seen by up to 10,000 people per night in the Pacific Coliseum. They were invited to return the following year with an entirely new version of UNBELIEVABLE.
