Magic Night at The Lockhart

Tonight, I'll be performing downtown at The Lockhart. This truly magical spot is the city's very special Harry-Potter-inspired bar. When it comes to magic and atmosphere, they don't mess around. 

This is a strictly informal performance and completely free to attend. You can just turn up for drinks and ask to see some magic. No dress code, although if you were inclined to wear your most Harry-Potter-y outfit, that would be cool. And space is extremely limited so you are gently encouraged to arrive early.

1479 Dundas Street West
(Dundas & Dufferin, Toronto)

Chris Westfall and the Porcelain Princess

My specialty has always been "magic for grownups" but I'm often asked about doing things for younger kids and for families which usually leaves me recommending my friends who do a much better job with that sort of thing.

Coming up in a few weeks at the Paper Mill Theatre in Toronto, there is a wonderful family show for kids and families. A good friend Chris Westfall has teamed up with circus artist Bella to create Chris Westfall and the Porcelain Princess. The show toured around Ontario just over a year ago and received some very nice reviews. If you're looking for an amazing and fun (and amazingly fun) family activity, it's in town for just two nights in July.
 

Chris Westfall & The Porcelain Princess
Thursday & Friday, July 19 & 20 @ 6:30 PM

““Chris Westfall... & The Porcelain Princess is a true magic theatre experience. It brings the arts of illusion, circus, improv and comedy together in one amzing show perfect for the whole family. It will baffle and amaze. Keep you on the edge of your seats at the top of your imagination. Watch Chris Westfall make people appear, diappear and float while laughing the entrie way through.””

Back to The Lockhart

Tomorrow night, I'll be performing downtown at The Lockhart. This truly magical spot is the city's very special Harry-Potter-inspired bar. When it comes to magic and atmosphere, they don't mess around. 

This is a strictly informal performance and completely free to attend. You can just turn up for drinks and ask to see some magic.

Magic & Martini is Moving

Promotional artwork by Kurt Firla

After eighteen months and over sixty sold-out performances at SpiritHouse, we've found a wonderful new home for Magic & Martini in Downtown Toronto. 

SpiritHouse closed its doors earlier this spring. They are now in Toronto's historic Distillery District and have moved from mixing and serving to distilling. You will be able to see their signature concoction "Founders Original" on shelves at the LCBO before long.

But, the show must go on and we've found a new secret spot for the magic to continue: 

The moment I walked in the door, I fell in love. Suite 114 is almost a magic trick unto itself. Even though it's a stone's throw from The Eaton Centre downtown, it's hard to find even if you know where you're going. The only hint you're in the right spot is a small golden silhouette of a martini glass frosted on the door. Tickets will now be available exclusively online as you will need the secret password included with your tickets to even get in. It's still a very intimate show with each performance limited to thirty tickets. 

The menu has some extremely cool stuff, including a number of cocktails named after characters from Monty Python, Star Wars and the Marvel universe. If you're clever enough to answer one of their riddles, you can even gain access to their secret menu. 

We are not taking the summer off but do have a limited schedule through July and August. Tickets are now available at www.magicandmartini.ca/#toronto. Readers can use the secret code olive for a discount on tickets ordered online.
