Trucking HR
Annual Gala

Presented by Durgy Spade, Canada's Most Magical MC
Date October 14, 2026
Venue Palais Royale Ballroom, Toronto
Prepared for Devon Blaise
Guests 250 – 300

Hi Devon,

Thank you for taking the time to connect. It was a genuine pleasure learning about what Trucking HR has built and what you're looking to create for this year's Gala.

It sounds like this event is a meaningful one: a fresh experience for your guests, a bigger-and-better night for your industry's top HR directors and C-suite leaders, and a celebration worthy of the people who shape Canada's trucking sector.

The connection through your father's memory of an event that left a lasting impression for 25 years tells me everything I need to know about the bar you're aiming for. I'd be honoured to help you clear it.

Below you'll find two tailored options, both designed around your program, your guests, and your vision for an evening that's elegant, entertaining, and unforgettable.

Canada's Most Magical MC

Durgy Spade brings something genuinely unique to the stage: the precision of a professional emcee, the charisma of a performer, and the wonder of a world-class magician, all woven seamlessly into one experience.

With over 15 years in the events industry and hundreds of high-profile events hosted, Durgy has refined the art of reading a room, commanding attention, and creating moments guests talk about for years. Whether it's 50 guests or 500, the energy never wavers.

He has performed across the world: London, New York, Dubai, Doha, Melbourne. Today you'll find him hosting some of Toronto's biggest galas and corporate events for companies like Amazon, TD Bank, Toyota, and Facebook.

"We hired Durgy to perform magic at our corporate holiday party and he was a HUGE hit! He was so easy to work with, and was able to accommodate for our smaller space. His tricks were awesome, and he for sure knows how to work a room! Would definitely recommend him!"

"We hired Durgy for our corporate holiday party, and OMG, he did such an amazing job keeping the crowd energized and engaged! The games he organized were so much fun, and everyone couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed them. His magic tricks left us all absolutely stunned. Truly mind-blowing! Durgy also nailed it as the MC, keeping the vibe lively and fun throughout the night. I would recommend him to everyone without hesitation."

"After seeing Durgy perform a few illusions at the dealership, I asked him to perform for a group of our Lexus guests for an upcoming event. I am so glad that I did! It made the night!! The feedback from our guests was stellar and the illusionist was the perfect finale! Five stars without question. I tried to put ten stars, but Google seems to think five is the best."
