The Ghost Experience

For the last little while, I've been pitching in on a secret project which is now no longer secret and I'm excited they're finally letting me talk about it. On Friday nights, starting April 25, we will be premiering The Ghost Experience. Jamie Stam — who has appeared many times on Magic@theCage and Magic at the Winchester, one of our favourite presenters — is exploring a much more serious and mysterious side of the human experience; what happens with those who are no longer with us, yet remain behind. It's a chilling, and yet somehow uplifting, affair.

The show will be every Friday night at a secret location in Downtown Toronto, which is only revealed to ticket holders (which means all tickets must be purchased in advance — you'll never find the door!). Doors open at 6:30, with dinner served up until 7:30. After dinner, everything changes.

There is a special preview performance on Good Friday, April 18. If you would like to attend you can receive 50% off tickets using the discount code "goodfriday". 

This is strictly an 18+ event.

Wonderz @ Whistlers

I'll be performing at the end of the month at a new show, Wonderz @ Whistler's. The show is organized by Chris Westfall, who has appeared many times on Magic@theCage, so I guess it's my turn to repay the favour. The show is a dinner theatre experience where you have the opportunity to come in an hour early to eat, drink and be magical.

Tickets are available at ChrisWestfallMagic.com. Last month's show was sold out

Magic@theCage continues

We moved our weekly show to a new venue, and somehow made it twice a week, back in February. We've been going strong there for two months with all of our Sunday shows in March being sold out. Tomorrow night's show (Mar 30) is also sold out. We currently have tickets available for Tuesdays and Sundays in April and for our extra show April 30 with Vincent Hedan.

To round out the month, I received some survey results from guests at the show. Here are a few snapshots:

We hope to see you out at the show sometime soon.

The Wish

Coming in April, we will be presenting a special one-night only performance featuring a guest performer from France, Vincent Hedan. His new show, The Wish, will be at The Crimson Lounge (map) on Wednesday, April 30 at 8:00 PM.

I first met Vincent two years ago at the Canadian Association of Magicians convention where he spent most nights sitting around a table fooling everyone and generally making our brains hurt. I'm delighted that he's able to include a visit to Toronto while he's in North America this spring and that he's able to do his new show (in English, even!) for us. It's a fantastic mix of magic and mind reading and I'm really looking forward to it.

For those of you that attended our show in the fall with Dani DaOrtiz from Spain, you know that there is something truly different and captivating about magic from Europe and this is something you don't want to miss.

This is an intimate event with limited seating, so please reserve your tickets early. We are also serving dinner early and the menu looks terrific so you can join us.

Tickets are available on our site. They are $30 at the door, $25 online. We are also serving dinner at 7:00 for those interested in eating before the show.

A Change of Venue

Poste Moved

I very much regret to report that due to circumstances beyond our control, The Winchester Stage and Bar is no longer available for our performances on Sunday evenings. Fortunately, our Tuesday night venue, The Cage 292, has taken us in. Going forward we will continue to offer our shows ever Sunday night at The Crimson Lounge, located inside The Cage 292 (292 College Street @ Spadina). We will continue to honour all tickets and reservations from Magic at the Winchester at the new location.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

And most importantly, thanks to the management of The Cage for accommodating us on short notice.

This Sunday's (February 16) show is already sold out. Tickets for future shows are available at www.abracadabaret.com/purchase-tickets.
