Last week on Magic Tonight

Last week was incredible. We performed all three shows at our locations in Toronto, Mississauga and Pickering. Here are some of the memorable moments. (These include material which is a bit too goofy for the official gallery.) Magic Tonight happens every week in Toronto (Sundays), Mississauga (Thursdays) and Pickering (Fridays).* Readers of the blog can use the discount code reality when buying tickets online for a special discount on show tickets and dinner.

*Actually that's not quite true. We're off this week since most of our performers, including me, will be attending the annual secret magic gathering, Magi Fest. An event so secret you can't even learn about it through googling.

Last time on Magic Tonight

Last night on Magic Tonight in Toronto, there was something in the water. We had the most splendiferous audience who were reacting and laughing all the way through the show. In fact, they spent so much time laughing, we ran nearly 30 minutes longer than we planned. Magic Tonight happens every week in Toronto (Sundays), Mississauga (Thursdays) and Pickering (Fridays).

Last night on Magic Tonight

Last night featured special guest Brian Roberts. Most people don't realize that tall magicians are heavily discriminated against: they are too big to fit into boxes to be sawn into halves and they can't make themselves levitate because they would hit their heads on the ceiling. Instead Brian has been forced to devote his time to developing beautiful sleight of hand. I got to perform with Brian with a packed house on what was (coincidentally) my birthday. Yes... they sang... I don't want to talk about it.... I wore a bow tie... my mother told me to.

Magic Tonight runs every week - Thursdays in Mississauga, Fridays in Pickering, Sundays in Toronto. Tickets are available at www.magictonight.ca. Readers of this blog can use the code secrets when purchasing online.

Last week on Magic Tonight

If there's one problem our shows have had over the years, it's been performers who share the same name. We've had to content with a ridiculous and confusing number of Jeffs, Jameses and Davids. Last Sunday on Magic Tonight, we had two Chrises (Mayhew & Westfall) performing simultaneously giving a sneak preview of their forthcoming two-person show Sketchy Magic. It was a fun, interactive and extremely strange evening. Stay tuned for more news about the full expanded event.

Last week on Magic Tonight

We had a rare public performance from Ben Train. In the years (!) that I've known him, I've really only seen him perform close-up magic. So to have him up on stage for our last show of our year was a most interesting and entertaining departure.

And the best part - Ben will be back on Sunday, January 25. So if you missed your chance to see him last week, there is still hope! Tickets are available online. Readers of this blog can use the code secrets for a special discount on checkout.

CFI Canada Winter Solstice Celebration (Part 1)

Last night on Magic Tonight, we hosted a special fundraiser for CFI Canada. We celebrated the Winter Solstice with a special performance by Michael Close, and a podcast taping with David Peck. Thanks to the Centre for Inquiry for rounding up such a wonderful group of people. We set the record for the largest audience we've ever had at the show!
