Introducing Sketchy Magic

sketchmagic photo72

Coming in April to the Crimson Lounge (our traditional home for Magic Tonight) we're presenting a new kind of magic show. This is Sketchy Magic:

Created by Chris Westfall & Chris Mayhew, both incredibly funny performers in their own right, this new show blends magic with both improv and sketch comedy to create a unique live experience. It's incredibly exciting because you never know what will happen next. (And as someone who has worked with both of these guys before, trust me, anything can happen.) And it's unique because the participation from the audience makes it so that every show is a one-night-only event. Tomorrow things could turn out very differently.

Sketchy Magic is a full evening out with dinner and a hilarious show. Join us in Downtown Toronto for an unforgettable experience. Tickets are available at the Abracadabaret website (www.abracadabaret.com/purchase-tickets). Readers of this blog can use the code reality for a special discount on the price of tickets and dinner.

The show is entirely family friendly... almost... sort of... well... children may learn some new words in this show.

This week on Magic Tonight

This is a week of contrasts on Magic Tonight - a variety of styles... and heights! Of course, I'm referring to Canada's Tallest Magician, Brian Roberts performing on Sunday in Toronto, and Toronto's shortest magician Chris Westfall performing Friday in Pickering. Ken Margoe (Thursday - Mississauga) and I are also kind of tall, but don't even enter into this comparison. Come join us for some incredible (and vertical) magic this weekend.

This week on Magic Tonight

I'm incredibly excited. We have a special guest visiting this week (and spilling over into next week) from England. The legendary comic performer, Wes Zaharuk is a true artist and his work is truly an exhibition of the trans-mundane! Which is to say it's some pretty freaky stuff. We also have a dear friend, Ben Train. Ben doesn't normally perform for the public. He's normally consulting and creating magic for other magicians - now with a company dedicated to that aim, Five Academy.

Chris Mayhew is a comedic performer from Calgary who recently performed at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Ben will be at the Franklin House in Streestville Thursday (Feb 12). Wes will be at The Bear in Pickering (Feb 13)and at The Franklin House the following Thursday (Feb 19). Readers of the blog can use the code reality when buying tickets online for a special discount. Chris will be a the Crimson Lounge in Toronto Sunday (Feb 15)

Last week on Magic Tonight

Things are going quite well. Audience sizes are steadily growing at our new venues in Mississauga and Pickering. If you have friends outside of the city that you would enjoy the show, send them our way. They can use the code reality when buying tickets online for a special discount. Last week featured performances from Jason Palter, Brian Roberts, Keith Brown and some dude named James Alan:

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!
