Outerbridge Magic

10/09/2026

From Smiths Falls to stages around the world.

We are delighted to be featured in the Fall 2026 issue of Ottawa Valley Life. Pamela Steel’s article, “Mysteries of the Keyhole House: Smiths Falls history reaches global audience,” explores the discoveries we’ve made in our 1892 home—and how they inspired a performance blending magic, illusion, dance, and storytelling.

From an 1892 note left by the house’s carpenters to the story of Agnes Lamb and a photograph that led us to the unmarked grave of WWI veteran Sergeant John Briggs, every discovery has revealed another piece of the house’s history.

Thank you to Pamela Steel and Ottawa Valley Life for sharing our story so beautifully.

Look for the Fall 2026 issue—and tell us: which Keyhole House mystery would you like us to share next?

The roadcases are packed.
The illusions are ready.
And in just a few weeks, the curtain rises.

This October, Outerbridge Magic – Mysteries of the Keyhole House kicks off an epic tour across Atlantic Canada.

And for us, this means something very special.

Twenty-five years ago, our theatre touring career began in Atlantic Canada.

The Maritimes welcomed us into its theatres, filled the seats, and gave us the opportunity to build a show, an audience and ultimately a career that would take us around the world.

In a very real way, Atlantic Canada launched our touring career.

Twenty-five years later, we’re coming back with a show that is deeply personal to us—and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Eight cities.
Four provinces.
One unforgettable journey.

Magic. Illusion. Dance. Storytelling.

All inspired by the history, mysteries and discoveries of a remarkable 134-year-old house.

Twenty-five years later, we’re returning to where so much of our story began.
Atlantic Canada, thank you for believing in us then.

We can’t wait to see you again.

We are delighted to be featured in the Fall 2026 issue of Ottawa Valley Life. Pamela Steel’s article, “Mysteries of the Keyhole House: Smiths Falls history reaches global audience,” follows the discoveries we’ve made in our 1892 home—and how they inspired a performance blending magic, illusion, dance, and storytelling that has travelled as far as China.

Inside are an 1892 note left by the house’s carpenters, the story of Agnes Lamb, and a photograph that led us to the unmarked grave of a WWI veteran. With help from the Last Post Fund, Sergeant John Briggs finally received a gravestone.

Thank you to Pamela and Ottawa Valley Life for sharing these stories. The Keyhole House still has mysteries to reveal.

Which one would you like us to tell you about next?
