Dr. Peter Duchemin, PhD. is Aaardvark the Incredible - International performer extraordinaire and adept at sleight of hand, Tarot, and hand-to-hand combat. 

He brings period-appropriate magical entertainment - juggling, carnival and street magic effects such as the famous cup and ball game - and readings with the original Tarot Deck - the Visconti-Svorza pack. 

Illuminated by the newly rescued wisdom from Byzantium, Dr. D is at once a Hermetic Magus of the perennial philosophy of Hermes Trismegistus, and an illusionist and prestidigiteur.

Dr D will perform 1-3 30 minute shows, over the course of the festival, passing the hat as is the custom - and will give short, 20 minute Tarot sessions at a rate of 25$ a reading.
