Magic at momondays

Monday night, I had the opportunity to perform at the Toronto momondays. This monthly gathering at the Hard Rock Cafe in Toronto features speakers on a wide range of topics. I just got to do magic. Definitely one of the warmest audiences I've gotten to perform for in recent memory - especially considering it was a packed room and it was a long event. The next event is on Monday, January 26, 2015.

Last Sunday on Magic Tonight

Fresh from his performances at the World Famous Magic Castle in Hollywood and special appearances in the vicinity of Broadway, we got to see Chris Mayhew's new show, Mayhew Mayhem. It was a sold out house; the largest we've had since the space was renovated to increase the seating capacity. Here are a few highlights:

We have a new show every week with different special guests. For more information and tickets, visit www.magictonight.ca. Readers of the blog can use the code secrets for a special discount online.

Last week on Magic Tonight

We were treated to a performance from the Barefoot Prophet, Paul Pacific. It's getting colder and on this occasion, we saw Paul perform fully shoed - a rare occurrence indeed! It will come as no surprise to anyone that I was wearing shoes while I performed but no one seemed unduly concerned. If you want to come to one of our upcoming shows, tickets are available online. Readers of this blog can use the code secrets for an additional discount on checkout. Check to see who's performing next at www.magictonight.ca and try and join us for our special CFI Fundraiser on December 21.

Rogers Daytime Toronto

Earlier this week, I was on Rogers Daytime Toronto discussing Magic Tonight. I got a chance to share some magic with the host, Val Cole. Magic Tonight happens every week with different special guest performers from across the GTA. Tickets are available online. Watch the video for a special discount code to save on the cost of the show and dinner.

She mentions "duct tape" at the beginning. This is what she's talking about:

Last time on Magic Tonight

Last night on Magic Tonight, we had a very special guest - Canadian Magician of the Year, Bill Abbott. He performed highlights from his one-man show Every Trick in the Book and was just generally dapper and splendid and wonderful. We're downtown on College Street every Sunday night with tickets available online. Readers of the blog can use the code secrets on checkout for a bit of extra magic.
