Matt DiSero - Live from my Bedroom

Ok, that sounded wrong... Last week, while the irritatingly photogenic Keith Brown was busy swallowing sewing needles at Magic Tonight (long story), there were doings transpiring backstage at the Crimson Lounge. Adam Pal was interviewing Matt DiSero for the PalmCast "Live from my Bedroom".

I have no idea what they were talking about, but at some point in the middle, I got talked into performing a card trick for a ten-year old child who happened to be there. Of course it's radio, so for all you know, I was just shouting at an innocent child while riffling cards next to a microphone. We'll never know for sure.

You can listen to the whole interview below:

Face 2 Face

Last year at Magic Tonight, we hosted a special fundraiser dinner for the Centre for Inquiry Canada. Following the show, in an effort to add some educational content to our programming, we did an extended interview and Q&A with Michael Close and the host of Face2Face, David Peck. We were allegedly discussing "Wonder in the 21st Century" or "The Role of Magic in a Modern Secular Society", but it was in front of a live audience with Q&A and tangents galore, discussing the history of magic, the theory behind why magic works and a few other things. The audio from that interview is now available online for the world to listen to. Stream or download over at DavidPeckLive.com, or look for Face2Face on Rabble and iTunes.

Things are going quite well. Audience sizes are steadily growing at our new venues in Mississauga and Pickering.

There's more great magic coming this week so stay tuned to see who's on the lineup. We also love when the audience posts photos from the show (this is one of the few performances where we let people take photos). Mark them with the hashtag #MagicTonight so we can find them!

Last week on Magic Tonight

It was a very cold night and it was also the Superbowl, so we had a magnificent intimate audience who was brave enough to face the snow to come see the show. (We did loose a few who rescheduled because of the snow.) Among the brave was mentalist Ron Guttman.

And to follow up, the convention in Ohio was wonderful. I did manage to sleep on the plane ride back so I wasn't completely useless during the show.

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.
