We raised over $3,000

Thank you to everyone who donated in support of our fundraiser for the North York General Hospital Foundation. We passed our initial goal of $2,500 and are working towards our stretch goal of $4,000.

Thanks as well to the Ace of Spades Lounge for hosting the live portion and our magic video elf, Chris Mayhew. Thanks especially to the wonderful performers who donated their time and talents both live and virtually: Jonah Babins, Farley Carter, Ian Crawford, Rob Fishbaum, Katarina Gligorijevic, Anthony Lindan, Chris Mayhew, Brian Minuzzo, David Peck, Phil Pivnick, David Sutherland, Ben Train, and Mark Wicken.

The donation page is still up, so if you have a moment to contribute, any amount is greatly appreciated.

And the show will be kept live for the next little while if you would like to go back and watch. Chapter markers have been added to the video so you can skip to watch your favourite performers.

Thanks again for all of your support. Wishing everyone a safe, prosperous and magical New Year.

Magic and Mayhem - November 26

To get the ball rolling for the holiday season, I’ll be appearing on a special dinner show hosted by the Soul City Social Club.

Senso Cafe
730 St Clair Ave W

Sunday, November 26
7:00 PM
Tickets $15

I’ll be appearing alongside comedy magician Chris Mayhew. From Soul City:

Chris Mayhew is a strange, strange man… there, we said it. In search of the ultimate magic trick, his performances have taken him across Canada, to China, the UK and to the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood. He is pure chaos in a sports jacket and no mere common sense or laws of physics can constrain him.

 

Sold Out - An Evening with Joshua Jay

We’re thrilled to announce that tonight’s performance with Joshua Jay is sold out! We look forward to seeing everyone who has reserved tickets tonight!

An Evening with Joshua Jay

Live performances are coming back. Next month, several organizations are coming together to present An Evening with Joshua Jay.

Spend an evening with a world-class magician. Joshua Jay has performed in over one hundred countries and holds a Guinness World Record for card magic. He appeared on Penn & Teller Fool Us, Masters of Illusion and has been on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and The Late, Late Show with James Corden. Most recently, Joshua was awarded Magician of the Year 2020 by the Society of American Magicians.

Featuring the master of mayhem Chris Mayhew. This is a night you won’t want to miss. We promise that you have never seen a show like this before.
