Virtual Charity Fundraiser

Join me on Thursday, December 21 at 8:00 PM Eastern where I will be (virtually) hosting the Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit Club’s 4th annual charity fundraiser, this year raising money for mental health services at the North York General Hospital.

This year I’ll be appearing alongside a dozen other magicians. In the past, individual contributors shared their material from home. This year, we also have a group who will be performing live at the Ace of Spades Comedy Lounge in downtown Toronto and we will be dropping in on them throughout the evening to see what they’re up to.

Please join us (virtually) for an evening of magic and fun. And if you have a moment to donate, we’re already well on the way to our goal and every little bit helps. We have already raised $1,000 and the show hasn’t even started yet! On Thursday, night at 8PM eastern, the show will be available to view at www.ibmring17.com/show

(Donations go directly to the North York General Foundation and you will receive a tax receipt for your donation.)

Tonight - With An Extra Helping of Magic

I’d like to invite all readers to join us this evening for a special virtual magic show. I will be hosting the show along with over a dozen magicians from the Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit Club, a (not so) secret society. Our goal is twofold. First to share some magic and have a little bit of fun this holiday season. Second, we are raising money for the Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto.

As of this moment, we have already raised $3,000 and the show hasn’t even started yet. Please consider joining us below for a nice fun show. (The show will be live at 8PM Eastern on Thursday, December 9, but we will leave the recording up for at least a few weeks for those

A Virtual Holiday Magic Fundraiser

Coming up in two weeks, I’ll be hosting a special holiday magic fundraiser online raising money for the Daily Bread Food Bank. Since it’s still not a fabulous idea to get together in person, we will be performing virtually. Over a dozen members of our local (not so) secret magic society, The Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit Club will be sharing some fun holiday magic from home.

Last year’s fundraiser raised over $7,000 and we’ll try our best to beat that this year. If you’re free, please consider joining us on Thursday, December 9 at 8PM Eastern to watch the show. We are already accepting donations for our campaign. All funds go directly to the Daily Bread Food Bank.

French Photos

I'm slowly beginning to catch up on my sleep after spending most of last week with Vincent Hedan, the charming and wonderful French magician, with the equally charming and wonderful accent. While he was in town, he presented his show, The Wish, in English for the first time, did two special events for The Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit Club and we even snuck him out to perform at a private event. Enjoy the photos, while I get back to plotting and scheming - there's lots of great magic coming up very soon.

I need to thank Hat & Rabbit Club and Ben Train for helping to organize everything and thank Michael Weber and Dr. Sammy Jakubowicz for their mischievous tweets.
